[quote=Anonymous]My husband spends a lot of time texting his friends. He and several of his close friends are really, really into a particular band and they spend a lot of time talking about that band. He talks to me about it too, and will mention "Oh well Kris said blah blah blah" or "Kevin suggested I look at blah blah blah." A couple years ago, he was providing a lot of emotional support to a woman from his past who was someone that I didn't know. He distanced himself from her when it became clear to him that she had more than platonic feelings for him. At that point, he also mentioned to me, "I've been spending a lot of time talking with Emily because she's having a hard time with XYZ, but I'm stepping back because it seems like she is looking for more than a supportive friend and that's not what I'm about."

I don't care who your husband is texting with and what about. The key issues are that a) he's had issues with inappropriate boundaries in the past, b) he didn't mention this to you himself and c) he became defensive ("I'm a private person"? Too private to tell your wife about reconnecting with an old friend? Sure...) when you confronted him about it.[/quote]
