Dear Maddy and Hubby’s Handsome Buddy
Dear Maddy,
My husband’s name is Link and his best friend Dave is very, very handsome and has a reputation for “scoring” with the ladies. He and Link are together every Tuesday when they bowl, and occasionally on the weekends when they go fishing or out for a drink. I am concerned that Dave’s skirt chasing will rub off on my husband. When I mention to Link how I feel he tells me that I can’t dictate his friends. So, whenever I mention it we get into a fight, so I don’t mention it. I am worried. What do I do?

Dear Nervous,
So! You don’t trust your husband to remain faithful to you. I had to edit your letter because it was so long but you mention you have been married for 15 years, and are very happy, other than when Link and Dave are hanging out. Keep in mind that when you got married there was a commitment of sorts to be faithful to each other, but that does not include the right to tell your husband to get rid of all handsome friends. You either trust him or you do not.
That being said I recommend you leave your husband alone when it comes to his long standing friendship with Dave. If you continue to torment him about this you might lose him. If, when you peel this onion, you realize that you no longer trust him, then file for divorce and marry someone who has no friends.
I hope I was able to help you…

I wonder if nervous is Mrs. Ben Nelson. Id so, Maddy, he can’t be trusted. 😉
LOL! But my friend you are married. Then again you do have this handsome buddy named Mike 🙂
Maddy – That’s pretty good advice especially when you said: . . . you realize that you no longer trust him, then file for divorce and marry someone who has no friends. Can I add to that by saying, if ‘Nervous of Nebraska’ does file for divorce, and does go looking for a man who has no friends, she should look for a man who blogs.
