Ask Amy: Hospital worker’s drinking cause for alarm

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Dear Amy: My boyfriend of three years has made friends with a woman in Europe (online).

They sing together on an app created to share music. That’s where they met. The songs sometimes feel intimate. It bothers me. To be fair, the songs are out there for others to join in, so it’s not as if it is entirely private.

She has now become part of his daily life. They exchange Facebook messages so often that when he clicks on “messages” she is the first person who pops up, even before me.

He says I’m overreacting, and that my thoughts “seem psycho” since she lives in Europe and is married, and we are in California.

My problem is with the constant daily interactions. She’s up at 4:30 or 5 a.m. local time in her home country, listening to his new recordings and commenting on them.

Who does that? She gets up at the crack of dawn and the first thing she does is listen to my boyfriend’s recordings, commenting on how beautiful/lovely his voice is? (Which it is, by the way.)

 

He says she admires his talents. I say it’s a bit more. Am I overreacting?

He says they talk about art. I trust him, but I don’t like their interactions and how all over him she is.

Help. Am I being paranoid?

— Confused
