To consider another relationship without resolving the one you are in won’t work
Illustration/Uday Mohite
My girlfriend recently told me that she has been chatting with someone online for years and is finally going to meet him when he comes to visit our country. He is a foreigner, and I didn’t take this seriously because I thought he was like an online pen pal. The more she talks about him though, the more it seems as if this is a deep friendship with someone who knows a lot about her and her life. I am feeling insecure about it because I think she cares about him a lot. How do I manage this? I can’t tell her to stop speaking to him but if they meet in real life and he says he has feelings for her, I am worried that she will break up with me. What should I do?
You should give your girlfriend the benefit of doubt and trust the nature of your relationship. There is nothing wrong with her having a friend, nor is it abnormal for her to confide in him. Policing her life is impossible because she is entitled to speak to anyone she chooses to. Your worry about her leaving you for this person is also ungrounded because that could happen to anyone. If you communicate with her, trust and accept her as well as her friends, you will be able to address this insecurity better. What matters is whether the two of you love and trust each other, and whether you want to be together. Meet her friend, accept him as part of her life, and she will appreciate that. Why think the worst when she has yet to meet him too?
I don’t think my wife loves me anymore, but another woman has begun taking an interest in me. Should I end my marriage?
