You posted this on Ginger Ann's thread.... I am new to this forum and not very literate on how to start a topic or where to post. I am reading everything I can here because obviously marriage is in the toilet. We have been together 8 years, married for 5 of them. I have a question, if your spouse is associating with someone male or female and they make you uncomfortable/don't like them, do you have the right to ask your spouse to end the association? Reasons they go to school together, they talk more than we do, this person is dishonest, and is definitely interested in more than friends. We all went out one night together and she was so mad that he (my husband) was paying attention to me, she was picking up other men. Oh and she is married too. I asked him to end the association because I don't like her, he said no and then started lying whenever he talked to her or went to their house. We have been arguing about this woman for 8 1/2 months now and I have come to the point of wanting to move out. I am sick of him putting her before me and my feelings. Just curious what you all would think. Just thought your own thread might be better for you.

He could be having an affair - hard to tell but he is being inappropriate.
Why not contact OW's H and tell him about her behaviour?

I have a question, if your spouse is associating with someone male or female and they make you uncomfortable/don't like them, do you have the right to ask your spouse to end the association? Of course you have "the right" to communicate your thoughts/feelings/fears/ideas to your spouse.... but you knew that, didn't ya <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I asked him to end the association because I don't like her, he said no and then started lying whenever he talked to her or went to their house. The real question is what to do when your spouse does not care when his actions are painful for you. This is what you do... >You stop nagging ... right now ... say what you need to say in a kind and respectful way ONE TIME ... then do NOT repeat yourself >you make yourself as attractive and loving and sexy as you were when you were courting >Meanwhile AT THE SAME TIME ... you stealthy snoop.... you have him followed/you track the phone bills/you document where the $$$ is being spent/you put a GPS on his car/ you put a voice activated recorder under his car seat.... as you knock his socks off with being an amazing wife/lover/friend ... and you say NOTHING to him about what you discover snooping ... you just document Then, come back & give us a report.... report how how H responds to your intense love light shinning on him and report what snooping brings up then we can take it from there sound like a plan?

PS I have pasted an old post about how one BW used GPS to find out the facts.... I used a GPS to track my WH’s activities and many MB’s suggested that I share the information since it may be helpful to others in the same situation.
I bought my GPS off Ebay. It is a LAS 3100-INT. (Land Air Sea is the brand name.) There are lots of places that carry this model on the internet. I just used Ebay because I got the best price. I paid $250.00 and $25.00 for second day air shipping, so the total investment was $275.00. Probably much cheaper than a PI!
The unit is a little black box with very strong magnets on the back. You just turn it on, replace the cover so no lights show, and stick it somewhere in the car. I put it up on a piece of metal under the plastic bumper in the back. I was nervous that it would come off, but even in a very violent thunderstorm with high winds, it stayed.
The device tracks all the movement of the car and the data stays in the unit. Once you retrieve it from the car, you simply hook it up to you computer using the cable that is provided, and download the data into the software that come with the unit. It is very, very easy.
You get a report that you can print out showing all the driving activity, speeds traveled, time stopped , etc. You can also see a map showing the driving route. Everything you need to know exactly where and when that car went.
If you need more info, I’ll try to help.
Thanks, WTW
P.S. - A HUGE thanks to all who encouraged me to use this. I was able to confirm my suspicions with no room for doubt.

Yes I am still around I had to go yesterday and get some work done. I thank you for the responses. I am unsure of him having an affair, it is more along the lines of he thinks that I want to control him and our marriage. I am a very dominate, outspoken woman and sometimes I keep going when I should just shut up.So I have actually already started the loving, sexy wife/ friend/ lover. I calmly let him know that I am aware and do not appreciate him hurting me again and then I move on. He has stated that we do not trust each other and so we are not being open and communicating. I agree and am trying to trust him and am hoping that he is doing the same. I am still suspicious but I don't want to give up on us. I think he needs to learn that love and relationships work better with honesty good or bad.

In your initial post I see red flags that are warning signs for an affair.
Have you looked at the material Harley has provided on this site - the Love Bank stuff and the Emotional needs stuff? You should look at them and do the Emotional Needs questionaires together.
Snoop if you can because it does seem like a beginning affair at least and you want to nip that in the bud now.
