My husband likes to have sleepovers with his female best friend
DEAR DEIDRE: Ever since my husband reconnected with his female best friend from childhood, I’ve started feeling like an outsider in our marriage.
He says I’m silly every time I bring it up, but if they’ve not slept together yet I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.
I’m 37, my husband is 39 and we’ve been together for eight years. We have two children.
Recently, he’s grown close to this woman after they met at a school reunion.
At first, I thought it was only innocent, but when days out with her quickly turned into sleepovers at her house I knew something was amiss.
My husband claims they’re merely making up for lost time but I can’t help but worry they are having sex.
Even when he’s with me he’s constantly texting her.
The last thing I want is to be controlling but I feel so uneasy when he’s around her.

DEIDRE SAYS: While you should try not to jump to conclusions about this other woman, it’s clear that your husband has a huge disregard for your feelings.
It does seem unlikely that anyone planning an affair would be so open about it, but that doesn’t take away from the fact he’s neglecting your relationship.
Tell him how you feel. Explain that his friendship is worrying you and that you’d appreciate it if he took a step back.
My support pack Relationship MOT will help.
