Re: I'm trying not be upset but I am

Honestly, I don't know what he said so it's hard to say whether I'd be upset or not ... but guys say stuff all the time! (Women do too!) If you have another reason not to trust him then this might be a red flag, but it sounds like maybe it's just harmless talk.

Sorry you are upset though!

Well the thing is that I don't really know whether or not to be upset because I don't know what comment from his friend spawned the reply that DH gave that upset me.. ugh. This *****. I guess maybe I should just try to put it out of my mind.

There have been a handful of circumstances like this over the 4 years that we have been together. Maybe like 3 or 4. Some more harmless than others.

I'm sorry you are feeling bad about his comment. I don't know the whole situation, but sometimes its just guys being guys, ya know? But then there are other situations where I would say its overboard. Maybe you should have a calm, rational talk with DH and let him know how you are feeling. I am sure he wouldn't want you feeling hurt or upset over a comment he made.

I'm not supposed to know. If I knew that I knew he would be mad. I will leave it at that. (yes I have snooped).

May I ask, then, why you are snooping? Are you feeling like you have a reason not to trust him? And because you found something while snooping, do you feel like you are even more justified to feel this way?

Logically, I know. I really do. It just hurts anyway. Maybe its my own stuff that I have to deal with.

Truthfully I don't know why...I guess maybe on some level I don't trust. But its not necessarily even about him. I have always always had trouble trusting guys that I am with. I have had bad experiences in the passed where I was very trusting and had the rug pulled from underneath me. Its very hard to disconnect from that. Logically I know that it wasn't DH that made me feel that way, but emotionally sometimes it is hard to disconnect from it and separate him from the others from my past..Sometimes I am great at not looking through stuff and just leaving it alone. I would be upset if he looked through my stuff, but then again, I have never done or said anything that would make him upset, so..



I think you snooped because you dont trust the friend not your DH. You know the guy is a bad influence & you dont want Dh to get himself into trouble. What i do think is if DH is craving male bonding that maybe this is his 'WAY' to try to 'FIT IN'. Its stupid but guys are at times. I think maybe you shouldnt take it too much toheart but i do think you need to let him know again how you feel & that you feel like he maybe a different person around the friend & it concerns you. Tell him teh only thing to you is him & that you dont want anyone to hurt your relationship.

Yeah, I mean it feels like to me it might be a bit of your issue then here, which is really the bigger issue than whatever comment DH made to his friend about some girl. I think this is something worth looking into about yourself ... you and DH both deserve a marriage that's free of these issues. You owe it to yourself and your marriage to be a trusting person, if the person has earned it. It sounds like DH hasn't really done anything to betray your trust other than an errant comment here or there about another woman which, let's be honest, makes him human.

that is a good idea. We recently went to a social/ceremony function for his friend and while his friend was nice to me and sort of funny, I didn't like the way he treats his wife AT ALL. So maybe I will say something with that as the spark for the conversation to be opened up.

Re: I'm trying not be upset but I am

I dont think its that you dont trust your DH, I think you dont trust his buddy! I go throught he same thing except its with DH's baby mama! I trust DH 100% but I dont trust her one bit! So I would check his text messages and his phone to see if she called (I still do this occasionally )
I dont really have any advice because I've been going through this for 6 years, but I just wanted to tell you that you arent the only one that snoops

Let it go hun! Its the motto- what you dont know wont hurt you sorta say.. i think we've all snooped for our different reasons.. but sometimes i myself wish i hadn't either- cause i have a tendency to take something and build this WHOLE scenario in my head..and it eats me alive for weeks.. and in the end.. nothing.... Now if he slipped and said that in front of you- i would bonk him in the head with a bat..

This guy is married. And if his wfe heard what he says about her she would be soooo upset.

For instance..when we were leaving the party we attended for him I asked him to please say goodnight to his wife for me. His response was 'F%$k her.'.
He said he was kidding around. I think he is a piece of trash.

My DH has a d-bag friend like that!!!! When he found out his wife was pregnant he told her to get an abortion! and one day he actually told me that he only married her because his mom told him too!!!
