Husband is spinning fiction at writers' workshop
Dear Amy: I am a 50-year -old woman. My husband and I have two sons.
I recently found out that my husband has been exchanging texts with another married woman who he met in a writing workshop.
My husband told me that the woman confided in him about her marriage problems and their terrible sex life. She also told my husband that she was having an affair with another man.
Her statements seemed fishy to me. Why would a woman confide in a married man about her marriage problems, her affair and her sex life?
My husband told me that he was not interested in her, but he kept encouraging her to share her personal problems.
I was hurt by this, but he kept insisting that nothing was going on between them. He said he was just using her stories as fodder for his upcoming novel.
Is that a justified reason?
What should I do? Should I be worried?
