My husband's emotional affair

[justpeachy]

Thank you, Allen. That it really helpful! I'm going to print it out and show it to DH.

I think the one we're going to have the hardest time with is #11... on DH's part. Convincing him that hanging out with his female friends (who he thinks are all "safe") is going to be painful (and has already been a huge fighting point between us for years). I've been thinking of taking a different tactic to that (previously I'd just say "don't do it" and he wouldn't listen, thinking I was being "controlling" and "jealous"). Instead, I'm thinking of asking that these things become couple events (so that he and I are doing those things with his female friends and their partners). I'm hoping that if we make his female friends friends of the marriage instead that it might help (although I know it won't entirely prevent something from happening).
