This is especially true about internet relationships as well. It is vitally important that ones'spouse/partner be that confidant in our lives; that it is they we speak to about our feelings, thoughts, and difficulties. Turning to someone else to do so I believe is a form of daliance.

There are a few litmus tests here to consider:

- would you feel perfectly alright were the roles to be reversed?
- are there aquaintanceships your spouse has that you feel threatened by?
- do you talk to your friend about personal subjects?
- do you talk to your friend about your relationship difficulties?
- do you talk to your friend about things you wouldn't with your spouse?
- who do you wish to turn to first to talk to?
- have you ever been dissappointed at having a chat with your friend put off or canceled?

I am NOT assuming this is the case. I am instead trying to point out why your spouse might feel threatened. It may be that you need to take your husband along to a counseling session. Or at least you should mention this during your next one. The best thing you can do is discuss this and take his worries seriously.

Finally, if it is causing a problem then it IS a problem. Your spouse is the priority. Even if you feel nothing wrong has transpired you may just have to pull back on the friendship.
