[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - they have each expressed attraction to each other.  It's now out there and it's hard to dial it back.

But you know what?  Your spouse can certainly tell this friend that boundaries were crossed, it was, and is, inappropriate and s/he needs to step back.  But the fact that your spouse refuses to do so is a major problem and a sign of disrespect to your and your marriage.[/quote]

This is OP. I do not know if my spouse has or has not said those things. All I know is that there is an unwillingness to tell the friend what was represented to me: that the feelings previously expressed are no more. (I have purposely not asked for the extent of those feelings (ie, mere physical attraction, love). I feel my spouse was simply neglected by me, lonely, and enjoyed having someone devote attention.)

I do wish my spouse would tell the friend all the things you outlined. If my trepidation continues, I am considereding making that request. However, we’ve had so many tears the last few weeks and I’m tired of being sad. I’m also exhausted from being suspicious and nervous.

Responding to others in this thread: even at the worst of times, our sex has been great and the best we’ve probably ever had, which masked for me how upset my spouse was with our relationship.
