Need Someone to Talk to

Hey
my hubby was talking to a female friend of
his that he hadn't heard from for over
4yrs on the phone the other day and ever
since I have been incredibly depressed and
reading into things more than I should (i
over heard bits of the conversation). I
am just feeling so incredibly insecure
since he was talking to her. I know its
stupid but I just cant seem to get around
it. If I talk to my hubby about he will
think I am being jealous again and start
texting her behind my back which will make
me worse. He has alot of female friends
(i'm not much better I also have alot of
male friends) but I have always
overreacted when he gets in touch with
them and either talks on the phone for
ages or texts them almost constantly for a
week or two and when I try to talk to him
about it he just says I am jealous and
insecure and need to get over it - I am,
but he seems to think that it gives him an
excuse to keep hurting me. I have always
been like this but the pregnancy seems to
be making it seem that much worse.
Arggggh I am going nuts or is this just
the pregnancy doing it around with my
emotions again. Other than that our
marriage is great and I love him dearly,
the pregnancy is also going well but my
head just ain't coping at all.

I'm sorry to hear you are upset. I would
be a little upset as well. However, I am
a jealous person!! My fiance has a few
female friends, but the ones he has now, I
don't see as threats. Is this a female
friend that you have met? Did she seem
like someone who would threaten your
relationship? Maybe if you just told him
that it is making you feel uneasy, and you
don't think it is good for the pregnancy.
It is fine if he has female friends,
however it isn't ok, if it is making you
feel uneasy with him speaking to them. I
don't think it is ever a good policy to
text message, or talk to another person of
the opposite sex when you are in a
relationship..To me it just seems like you
have something to hide. Does he ever
speak of her? For instance, if he maybe
bumped into her at the store, maybe they
just thought they would catch back up on
old times, I just think it would be a
little weired for him to call/text her out
of the blue.
Also, I don't mean to pry, but do you guys
have trust issues. The reason I am asking
is because my fiance and I used to have
trust issues because of his previous
female friends.. They were what you would
call a "direct threat" to the
relationship. Once he figured that I was
upset by it, he disregarded them, because
he too felt a little weired later about
them.
Good luck...If you ever want to talk, pm
me! Hang in there hon!

You should be mad and jealous.. He has no
right to do that and no right to go and
text girls behind your back, what is he
thinking????? You guys are married he
shouldn't even be talking to girls and if
that makes you insecure and jealous then
he definatly should stop especially when
your pregnant. This is the time he should
be most sympathetic towards your feelings.
I really don't agree with the way he
treats you. If I were you I wouldn't put
up with that.

Thank you both. I really needed to hear
that I wasn't just overreacting about
this. I am thinking of writing a letter
to get it all out and that way he can't
get all defensive or butt in which will
result in me getting upset and not saying
what I really want/need to, but does it
seem a bit cowardly to sort it out that
way?
Happiness03 - I have met this girl as she
used to date my older brother, she was
also a year or two ahead of me in school
we also used to be friends but had a bit
of a arguement years ago - I can't even
remember what over. I was talking to her
on the phone aswell but only cause hubby
handed me the phone, she didn't ask to
speak to me he just done it. We ended up
talking mainly about the pregnancy as she
has a 10 month old daughter but the
conversation didn't last that long,
nowhere near as long as their 3 hrs. In
all honesty I don't think she is a threat
but I can't stop my over active
imagination from doing overtime. We have
been through this before with another
female friend of his and it really crushed
me at the time. If he even talks about
her now I just ignore him and switch off.

I think it is a good idea to get your
thoughts down on paper, like you said. I
would hope your hubby could use the
opportunity to see your real feelings on
this issue! You are pregnant for crying
out loud........You don't need this
stress!! Bless your heart! How far along
are you by the way? Has it been a good
pregnancy so far?

I can understand where u are coming
from... But she really dosent have that
much reason to be mad cause she does
herself have guy friends to. I think u
should sit down with ur hubby and disscuss
not argue about how u feel and see if
maybe he feels the same and yall can work
out an understanding.

While I do have male friends I go out of
my way (as most people would) not to piss
him off by not spending to much time
talking to them and certainly not for 3hrs
on the phone out of the blue then
constantly texting them. It is easy to
say that we need to dicuss this and not
argue about it but in reality that just
wont happen.

him yet? I totally agree with you, I too
would be upset!

No we havent really talked about it. He
knows I am/was pretty upset but I don't
think he quite understands what about or
maybe he does. I was just writing down a
few things then but it hurts too much to
put them on paper it is easier to just
forget it. I don't want to push him away
by whinging on about it. God im confused,
I don't think I know what I want maybe I
will leave it a few days and try to sort
myself out I think I need that time for
myself, hopefully I will feel better in a
few days and able to either tackle this
head on or leave it alone.

I think it would be better to let him no
how you feel radther then keep it bottled
up inside. You shouldn't have to feel
scared to talk about your insecurities or
things that are bothering you, with him.
If you would feel better to think it over
for a few more days then that sounds okay
but theres no reaosn to feel scared,
because if he loves you he should
understand and try to help you with these
feelings your having radther then being
pushed away by them.

Yeah I agree I think it would be alot
better to discuss it with him cause ur
building up all this anger but what if he
dosent know you feel like that. I mean I
can understand your upset. And he needs
to understand too.

Yeah, if you don't discuss it now, it is
only going to wear on you and bring you
down. You will probably be more
irritable. You don't need to go thru
something that is bothering you when you
can go talk to the person causing you the
pain.

I dont want anyone to take this harshly
but here goes
a marriage is based on trust if he can
trust you then you should put the same
faith in him, I know he talks to people
especially other woman but sometimes its
time that he needs before baby comes did
you know most first time fathers are
scared $hitless and need reassuring from
other people(especially female race) I
know this comes down hard my husband
confront me about the ppl I talk to but I
never say he jealous because I ask him
alot about his friends as well and so we
have faith in each other.
The only thing I dont agree with is him
accusing you of being jealous, thats not
right he should have abit more respect and
explain things to you(open communication)
sounds like its missing. Im abit like
your husband I talk to alot of friends for
hours on the phone because their is just
some things I need to get out that my
friends seem to understand and thats what
their for to vent etc now nothing wrong
with venting on hubby lol!!!
I just want you to understand all of us
gals have been jealous in life just relax
abit though cause it can put alot of
strain on your marriage!!
