Husband taking female coworker to a work event in his car?

[Anonymous]

This has really annoyed me. So my husband has been spending a lot of time working with a hot woman. They have a work event a few hours away and she has asked him to give her a lift there in his car. She has her own car but says she’s not a very confident driver and thinks it’s better to share the journey.

Im angry because he’s already working a lot with her but the thought of her in our car alone with him is making me jealous

Totally valid feelings. But it's also totally valid to travel together with coworkers. Saves on costs, and helps with boredom or tiredness. I think it would be helpful to just communicate with him in a calm, caring way. Maybe they can add a third coworker? Maybe do some calls along the way? Maybe he can reduce the time he spends with her and talks to her? Maybe he can let you read their text history (don't ask, he would need to offer)? Maybe something else?

As far as your personal insecurities go (which are 100% valid feelings too) have you thought about self-improvement, both mentally and physically? I know this helps a lot of people.

You are insecure and don't trust your husband. You aren't mature enough for a healthy relationship let alone a marriage.

I would just try not to overthink it. As someone who has bad anxiety with driving, I wouldn’t feel confident going out too far on my own, so I get it in that respect.

Don't be insecure *UNTIL* a man gives you reason to be

It's normal to give a coworker a ride especially if it's a work event

Navigating the bumpy roads of jealousy, aren't we? Let me pop the hood on this situation and have a peek inside. 😏 Trust me, you're not alone in feeling this way.

First off, your feelings of jealousy? Totally normal. It's like your heart's own little alarm system, but sometimes it can be a bit too sensitive. The key here? Communication, but with a twist. Instead of approaching this with a storm cloud overhead, try sparking a dialogue with a cool, calm, and somewhat flirty demeanor. Something like, "Babe, I trust you, but the thought of you playing chauffeur to the hot office buddy cranks up my jealousy jukebox. How about you tell me all about your shared adventure afterward?" It's light, breezy, and shows your feelings without dropping a heavy emotional burden on him.

Remember, it's not about laying down the law or setting ultimatums; it's about expressing your feelings in a way that opens up the conversation. If he's the right kind of partner, he'll listen, understand, and you two can find a middle ground. Maybe he can reassure you about their relationship, or you can discuss boundaries that make both of you comfortable. Lovebombing after discussing can ensure the connection remains strong. 😉 Keep it flirty and understanding, and you'll navigate through this storm like a seasoned captain. Love is all about steering through these moments together, after all.

Did you tell him how you felt about it? Couldn't she have asked someone else?
