I think from what you have said above it's more than friendship. I mean I wouldn't do that and I have female friends. You don't cross those kinds of lines. From what you have said that's completely inappropriate. I don't think it's your fault if they are doing that and perhaps he is deflecting it on to you, when in reality it is a problem for him. But that's just my opinion... it's not something I would tolerate. Hope this helps Well,

My boyfriend has a friend who is a girl, she visits every single day, calls him, texts him, etc....I woke up one night and found them sitting on the frontroom floor infront of the TV with him lying with his head between her legs...they deny that there's anything between them.. He now blames me for everything that has gone wrong in our relationship, that I pushed him away by asking him questions about thier friendship... What do you think I should do?

I am not sure my in-laws read this blog but man can they be demanding. We had a series of uncoftrable confrontations that eventually led to us establishing firmer boundaries. Whatever you do, make sure you stick it out and talk to your husband. That's one mistake I made, not talking to my wife and just being a pain in the ass, and it nearly cost me my marriage... more than once. Thanks Megan. Hi Megan,

My husband and I just had a baby girl two months ago and well I feel like we are falling apart. He works monday trought firday out of town and when he is home he has to everything for his mother. I only get two days with him and his mother seems to want the time herself and because of it, I have been being mean and trying to stay away becuase I feel like he doesn't see that his mother may just be the reason that our relationship hasn't been working. So, maybe you can put in that a reason a relationship may not work is becuase of the in-laws. Much love, Megan Hi my name is Megan.

A simple yet in your face lesson. Maybe another sign could be avoidance... when your partner will go to extremes to avoid confrontation. (read leave before you get up, stay at work past when they need to.) Even choosing distractions to avoid realities... like the gym V’s talking. Friends needs over the needs of the relationship… Wishing I had the opportunity to read this some time back. A simple yet in your face lesson.
