Question from a Reader: Ive been married for 5 years to my husband. We have had no real issues with our relationship until now. I recently got back in touch with a male friend that I knew way before I knew my husband. Hes a guitarist in a fairly successful local band and I would always go to his shows. We became good friends and confided in one another, although it was never romantic and purely platonic. I lost touch with this guy just after I got married, but thanks to Facebook, I found him. Now we also play World Of Warcraft together, as we are both game nerds. Now we email one another and my friend actually confided in me and told me about how some girl had fd him over. We spoke for over and hour and I did the right thing and told my hubby, but he didnt say much. The problem is that my hubby clearly is uncomfortable with my male friend. He told me the other day that he is fine with me having male friends, as long as he trusts them and knows them (????). He doesnt like this particular male friend because he feels inferior to him as he knows I like music and creativity, while my hubby isnt musical. I keep telling him that he has nothing to worry about and that Id never meet my friend alone without him, but he is now paranoid about us emailing one another and for some reason is upset that my friend confided in me about his personal problems. We had a massive argument yesterday with him saying Sorry I dont have any musical talent and storming off. I dont want to ditch my friend, but what should I do? My husband doesnt like him, but he wont tell me outright to cease contact with this person. Most of the friendship is just over email and World Of Warcraft. I am beside myself as to why he is acting like such a jerk, knowing that I have few friends. Thank you for listening.
