[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a work husband, and when I got pregnant he invited me and my husband to a dinner with him and his wife. She gave me a ton of advice about being a new mom, and they gave us hand me downs, and were great. I became friends with her too, and one day she told me that sometimes she gets jealous because I get to spend more waking hours with her husband than she does, we talk about (technical) things she doesn't know about, and as a stay at home mom sometimes she felt "less than."  I am glad she told me.

All four of us are still good friends. [/quote]
This is OP and wow, yes! I work, but I definitely feel that have  “relationships” and I’m a little jealous of that. My husband sometimes works 10 hour days around deadlines, and yes, he definitely spends more time a week in this “relationship” than he does with me, and then he comes home and brags about them. It sounds so irrational! How do I stop feeling this way without sounding like a desperate wife? I mean, I spend more time with my coworkers, too, but this feels different. I’m definitely not thinking of them when I’m not at work. [/quote]
