Your wife needs to redirect her attention to YOU. Instead of txting/emailing while YOU are together, she should be paying attention to you and focusing on working on your relationship.

If she is hiding her phone/email it could be because she feels you are intrusive, OR because she DOES have something to hide. I get a little defensive when my hubby is looking over my shoulder when Im chatting/emailing. I have nothing to hide. Just makes me feel weird. (we have some laptop use issues also)

You have to take her at her word that there is nothing inappropriate there, and it is HER place to tell the guy that she is working on her marriage, and is simply not interested in anything more, in case he does have the wrong idea.

But it takes 2 to tango, and if she does end up letting something happen, it is her fault as much as it is his. You need to work out if YOU are willing to accept her close friendship at a delicate time in your relationship, and TALK to her about this. Advice from us here at PC is fine, but you need to be having the conversation with your wife.

x GL!
