About 3 years ago, I became really good friends with a guy at work. His wife didn't have a problem with this. In fact, he had a lot of female friends he would regularly go to lunch with & considered himself one of the girls. My hubby had a problem with this & was jealous. I told my friend this, & he discussed it with his wife. They thought my hubby was the weirdo for not trusting my friend, me, etc.
So, now a few years later, I've wanted to move past them thinking my hubby is a jealous freak. I would like them to call our house like regular people, but they don't. They've said before if we want to do something, we could call. I don't like this, though, it doesn't seem like a very good friendship. It doesn't seem right that I would have to do all the calling. While I understand the logic, it still bothers me, and I'd like to move past this, improve things, or quit caring.
If anyone has advice, I'd love to hear it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The nature of how this dynamic formed with your friends is visible, so maybe at this stage it is up to you to reassure your friends with actions that it is okay for them to be your friends, and that you will not suffer, nor will they any jealous wrath from your hubby....just some thought...I say get everyone together and remove the mystery!
