[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine your DH has struck up friendships with the staff at a neighborhood bookstore that he frequents. A lot of the staff happen to be young women.  What's your comfort level, roughly?

1. he goes to the store frequently and they chat
2. he has exchanged phone numbers and they text
3. he meets up with them socially (without you present)
4. he invites them over to your home

Or some other "level" I am not articulating here.

Where are you cool with it?  Where are you irked?  [/quote]
1,2 &4 are all OK as long as I'm included; 3 is only OK if 1, others are present, 2, no drinking/flirting/purely just friends, and 3, I'm welcome at all times and join them frequently.

OTOH, I live in a DC neighborhood in which we all know each other by necessity and even the store clerks are moms whose kids attend 2-3 IB schools, so it's important to form connections to watch houses when we travel and for playdates.

OP, here's where I'd get concerned:
1. are you young/childless? are they?
2. are you not included/excluded?
3. is it more flirtatious and less networking?

OP, if you are uncomfortable with all of this, that is enough for your s/o to back off a little and focus on his primary relationship/you.
