Reply to comment by AscendedKin in My soon to be wife was invited for lunch by a new coworker friend by [deleted]

Thank you. For real I came here for support and to get help knowing if this seems suspicious not to be told I’m insecure and immature and petty. This is not the first weird friendship incident we’ve had and we worked through everything hence the wedding plans. She never cheated on me but she had another male coworker at a previous job who was telling her to leave me and trying to force her into some things and she was afraid of him or so she said so I was stuck for almost a week sleeping in the car in the parking lot of her work for her to be safe after I learned what was happening between the two of them and got mad.

Edit: I say after I learned because she didn’t seem concerned or worried or scared until after I found out and got mad. Now if she really was in all that kind of situation I am genuinely sorry and will always protect her but I can’t help but start looking at the red flags after today. The wedding is still on because up until today I felt the friendship was normal so I haven’t even had a chance to think about cancelling it. Now all the lines and dots are connecting and freaking me out

The only thing you can do in this situation is talk to her about it and see how she responds. After that, the next step is to quietly observe, DO NOT pressure or force her into anything. I can assure you over time the truth will come out. One thing to not do is project your past relationship trauma on to your new one, that is just a recipe for disaster. This does not mean you don't exercise wisdom and discretion however, it just means keep your wandering thoughts in check and look for real evidence.

All I can tell you from experience is you have to really make a tough decision and decide if you can actually stay with a woman who keeps male friends in her life(assuming you're a male as well). Some people do it and live "happy marriages" while in many situations those "friendships" become the thing that ruins the relationship. In my opinion it's not worth the trouble or beneficial and my woman feels the same.
