[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again...if you feel that your DH is emotionally closer to his cousin than he is to you, and that he/she is more if a confidant than you are, then address that with your DH and would understand why that isn't feeling good to you. But that still doesn't mean you can put parameters on how often they talk.[/quote]

OP Here. This is what it is. It is a well known fact among everyone involved with us that if you ever need to know anything about DH, call her. Interestingly enough, DH's brother also uses this same cousin as the super confidant. She has led me in the right direction when I needed to know something, and I know she has defended me to DH several times. My family loves her, everybody in our small town (their hometown, which I moved to) love her. She is a good person, so this isn't about me disliking her in anyway.

The calls are always around 9pm, so right when we're settling down with a show before bed. It's not a time where I can go to book club or walk at the mall. Its not even uncommon for those two to watch shows together and only talk on commercials. I try to see it as cute, but what happens when we add kids? What happens if I'm always relying on her to help me understand what's going on with him? It seems like since they have aged some and we have been together awhile there should be a shift. What is married life like when you have a third person who is necessary for me to know what's going on?[/quote]
