I am soooo glad I am not the only one that does this!
And here I have been wondering how to get more neighbors... So I really don't need more friends, I just need a few more passwords!

Who says she's not already wonderful and awesome to her husband?
AND....why would it be her fault that she couldn't hold her home together when he's the one wanting to play with fire?
Oh my word.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the most effective ways at resolving this is to have the spouse put on the other shoe...or pump.
It would be interesting to find out how he would feel if his wife were, unbeknownst to him, having contact with someone she was intimate with, making the same types of statements, and refusing to understand his discomfort. You let the husband read where she is telling him how wonderful he was and how much more amazing she is sure he is today.
One of our biggest problems is the lack of empathy and our unwillingness to see situations through another's eyes.

Very true!
Hopefully, he would be honest, but if he's trying to justify what he's doing, then he would probably say he wouldn't mind at all. Yeah, right.

That is really the ultimate question. It is the "What would Jesus do?" question that one needs to ask him or herself.
Whether anything inappropriate took place or not, if the conversation makes his wife upset or uncomfortable, the husband should be willing to discontinue it. Ultimately, his marriage is his most important relationship--or at least, it should be.
IF I asked my husband to stop talking to someone (I wouldn't do that without a good reason), and he refused, that would be very revealing about his mindset regarding our relationship. That would be more personally offensive than a slightly inappropriate comment or conversation, and it sounds like that might be the case in the scenario presented.
MissBrattified, Thanks for understanding my view, my relationship with my wife is the most important things in my life. Just before my relationship with my 2 sons. God always comes first...
