DH has a female friend he’s known since uni. They never had a relationship - we are now mid 40s and they are still in touch. We have seen her and her husband and kids a handful of times over the last decade and moved near to their hometown, where the friend is settled with her family, one year ago.
Since moving we have gone for days out with her and her family (kids are same ages). Once or twice DH has met with her alone at a pub, comes home after a drink or two. I don’t suspect that he has any feelings for her (although I admit to being somewhat jealous of her, she is attractive and has a good profession.) However, there is a way she looks at DH that gives me pause. Her eyes light up and it’s like she’s relieved to be around him, she comments on how lucky I am to have a DH who does the washing up. There’s never any physical touch between them. But it still makes me…uneasy, perhaps because I can see they do enjoy each others company? I’m not typically a very jealous person, am completely fine with him having friends of opposite sex (I have several male friends myself) but somehow the way she acts toward him just feels a bit off. In fact he has other female friends who don’t give this impression.
What would you do in this situation? Just keep trusting DH? Mention that it seems friend fancies him? I reckon if o were to mention this to DH, he would be hurt at the implication that I don’t trust him. Maybe I don’t trust her? Just looking for any similar experiences or insights.
