Her Husband Became Jealous That She Was Often Hanging Out With Her Friend, So She Admitted That If He Paid More Attention To Her, Then She Wouldn’t Go Out As Much
This 28-year-old woman has been married to her husband, who is also 28, for about five years. But while she thinks they have a “good relationship,” she admits that it isn’t “great.”
“He’s a good man,” she said, “But he prioritizes going out with his friends more than with me.”
Her husband’s excuse is often that he needs some free time to have fun and be alone “with his thoughts.”
And she’s tried to talk to him about the issue. But, every single time, her husband claims that he’s either too busy or too tired.
Anyway, she has a good friend who is 26, and she thinks her friend is very sweet and caring.
Her friend also often invites her to go out, and she typically accepts the offer since she’s usually just bored or lonely at her house.
When they go out together, they’ll do things like go shopping, go to the movies, or visit the park.
“And my friend’s married, too, but her husband doesn’t mind her going out with me,” she noted.
Well, all of a sudden, her own husband has started to become jealous of her friend. He claimed that she’s spending too much time with her friend and even believes that her friend might be interested in her!

“He says that I should at least reduce the frequency of our outings,” she revealed.
Honestly, though, her husband’s reaction actually just made her upset. So, she decided to finally tell him the truth about how if he paid her any attention, then she wouldn’t feel the need to go out with her friend as much.
“I also said he should worry more about our relationship than my friend,” she added.
But while she was just trying to be honest, her husband didn’t receive the truth very well.
So now, he’s really upset, and she’s been left wondering if calling her husband out for not paying enough attention to her was really the wrong thing to do.
Why do you think her husband is suddenly jealous after getting a taste of his own medicine? Does she have a right to go out with her friend often if he’s doing the same with his own friends? Did she do the right thing by being honest?
