Quote: I told him the new friendship hurt because the affair was still too fresh. He said he understood that, but feels the jealously is all my problem!
That's funny, my husband used to say things like that too and used my "jealousy" as one of the excuses for his most recent affair (and I acted MUCH less jealous than a typical spouse!). I personally think attacks like these are like a smoke screen. I think it's a counterattack to draw attention away from what he's doing. I wouldn't feel comfortable about my husband having close female friendships while working on a marriage.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
