Ask Amy: Facebook dustup affects the whole family

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Your conflict with Sally has nothing to do with your husband, or hers. The two men are friends. You and she never were.

Yes, you should take the high ground. In my opinion, the high ground here would be where your husband is permitted to do something he enjoys doing with his friend without you trying to control him, while you continue to stay away from Sally, across all platforms. Ignoring her attempt to sweep this under the rug should give you some satisfaction, as this is evidence of you taking care of yourself and keeping your distance.

Dear Amy: I have been dating my guy for two years. We are very serious and exclusive.

This is the healthiest relationship I’ve ever had. I don't want to ever lose him.

The only issue is that he goes through spells where he constantly accuses me of talking to someone else. He says that he isn’t accusing me of "cheating," just talking to someone.

He says he has proof, but refuses to tell me why he is suspicious. I stopped using Facebook, except to message him, but then he said THAT was suspicious, so I went on FB more often, but now he thinks that’s suspicious, too.

 

He says he is suspicious because I don’t use my phone much around him, but I have no friends and he is the main person I talk too.

We live five hours apart and have gone from seeing each other weekly to now only once a month. He stays on his phone for hours at a time, saying its business, but he always took business calls in front of me before.

I have done everything I can think of to change and reassure him. I am almost 40 and have never cheated on anyone!

The way he goes on about this makes me wonder if HE is the one talking to someone else. I am faithful and loyal.
