Hey there Eric,

It's so wonderful that you love your dear wife so much and have such concern for her heelings.

But, and this is a big but...A woman KNOWS when another woman is interested in her husband. No matter what anyone says a womans intuition does not lie to her and does not steer her incorrectly.

Your wife has been upset because she knows that this woman is already in a relationship with you be it over the net or on the phone. You see this woman as someone who used to be a friend; the friend is reliant upon you for certain things and because your DW sees this, she is rightly unhappy about it.

To you it is an innocent friendship that has turned a little sour beause of her comments, but it is the motive behind the comments that is the real problem. She has up to now had no reason to make comment, so what has changed? I think you are seeing the side of the scorned woman here and if it were me I would delete my account, and put a filter on any emails she sends you, so that you don't get them. I would tell her why so that she knows that there is a consequence to what she has done. I know if anyone said anything nasty about my partner I would tell them what I thought and I would not have conact with that person again; loyalty is important in relationships,

Loving thoughts,

Rhia
