How do you feel knowing that your ex's fiancee said that your relationship makes her uncomfortable?

[Anonymous]

My fiancee and I have been together for six months. We've been living in my car for the past four months because she was caring for her grandfather, but now that he's in a memory care facility, we moved to my city. We’ve been staying with a female friend of mine, and recently, my fiancée became upset, saying she feels like she's watching me build a life with another woman. She feels like I’m getting too close to my friend because I’ve been helping her with various things, like moving furniture and watching her son.

I’ve been paying my friend for letting us stay, but my fiancée is jealous and suspicious of my friend’s intentions. She feels like I’m putting myself in a situation where my feelings for my friend could turn romantic, and she’s worried that I might choose my friend over her. She’s unhappy because she hasn't been able to do the same things for me, like cooking for me, and she fears I’m becoming complacent and might decide to stay with my friend instead of finding our own place. She said if I do that, she’ll leave.

I want my fiancée to stay with me, but I’m not sure how to resolve this situation. She’s unhappy, and I don’t want her to go back to her city where she has no support. I don’t know how to make her feel secure in our relationship while also helping my friend.

This is confusing. Your question title refers to an ex's fiancee but you never identify who is the ex and who is the ex's fiancee.

You got engaged to a woman you have only been with for 6 months when you guys live in a car instead of a house? Its obvious to me you have a brain injury and nobody believes your lies about dating a non existent racoon who lives on Jupiter.

The only solution here is for you and your fiancée to move out instead of living with the friend.

If you love your girl then keep on loving her. And while your doing that do whatever you can to move out this way you don’t lose a friend and you keep your girl happy.


Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, but open communication is key. Reassure your fiancee that you value her and are committed to your relationship. Set clear boundaries with your friend to avoid any misunderstandings. Finding a place of your own will help show her you're building a future together. Show empathy towards her concerns and work on balancing both relationships.

Thanks for the advice.

Your fiancee has every right to feel uncomfortable you’re living with another woman and prioritizing her needs over your partner’s security. It’s understandable that she feels like an outsider in her own relationship. If you truly value your fiancée, your focus should be on building a stable life with her, not maintaining a dynamic that makes her question your commitment.

Thank you for the honest advice.

Totally understandable and you're asking a lot of her.
You're a paying guest in a house with your friend.
She's basically camping in a stranger's house where she has no role and watches as you play house with a potential replacement. And she's said as much.
Your fiancé has to move out for her own presence of mind and you should follow her to maintain the relationship with her.
I'm guessing though that logistics and money are the problem.

Your fiancee’s feelings are valid she wants to feel like your priority. Reassure her that you’re committed to building a life together and set clear boundaries with your friend to ease her concerns. The best way to make her feel secure is by actively working toward getting your own place. Show her through actions, not just words, that she comes first.

[Asker]

I’ll definitely keep that in mind, thanks.
