Dear Abby: Husband’s Jealousy Alienates My Friends One by One
The husband's persistent jealousy has isolated his wife from friends and complicated her role on a nonprofit board, despite her long-term efforts to maintain community ties.
- Recently the letter writer reported her husband’s jealousy, accusing her of wanting male friends and straining her friendships and role on a nonprofit board with a male president.
- After relocating for his job, the letter writer retired; both are in their second marriage, together 23 years, and she reports he never apologizes and always thinks he is right.
- Avoiding arguments, the letter writer says counseling is complicated because psychiatry is her husband’s specialty and many psychotherapists use mental health professionals themselves.
- Dear Abby called the husband a bottomless vessel of insecurity and wrote, `Is this how you want to live the rest of your life?` expressing doubt the jealousy will change.
- In a separate witness letter, Abby advised calling or visiting the police department to report kids in yard fights and contacting the local middle school principal, noting liability risks.
