If yes, try and think about what that means. Also, don’t shy away from discussing this with her.

Eloping is always an option, but it isn’t the only one because you can all arrive at a compromise that works if you put your minds to it.

If you don’t trust him, talk about it. Without that level of honesty, your relationship is in trouble.

Why not ask her a direct question? If she wants to be with someone else, there’s nothing you can do about it.

If something is on your mind, speak out because that’s always the best approach.

You can always delay any commitment until you’re ready because this is an important life-altering decision that involves two people

It’s normal to feel jaded or start taking a partner for granted after a point, but communication and honesty can resolve this.

If it’s unfair and you feel as if you can’t talk about yourself, that has to be addressed even if you think it’s not the right thing to discuss

Speaking to her husband about this may only make things worse if he isn’t the kind of person who wants his wife to have access to family and friends

Your boyfriend should also be able to speak to his friend and change how they meet or communicate.
