I've been accused of sleeping with a good friend because he came back to wait for a taxi whole my fella was in bed... (My fella left drunk btw)...
I love my friendship with this man and his lady and would never do anything untoward as I adore my man.
What do i do to.convince him???
Is he accusing me because he has a guilty conscience???

Either that or he is insecure

Ludoole · 26/05/2019 23:08

He is insecure but doesn't do much for my mindset
I've given this man everything and now I'm accused of something I haven't done.
I lost my husband a few years ago and I thought this one was the one.

You can't convince him and you shouldn't have to! He either believes you or he doesn't and if he doesn't then you may as well walk away now. You don't want to spend your life justifying yourself.

Your bf thinks that whilst he was sleeping, you shagged your male friend under the same roof!!
Crunchy op hasn’t asked for any vocabulary advice.

I think crunchy has a point. You sound very Tammy Wynette, surrendered wife, OP, but still he's psychotically jealous?

chipsandgin · 27/05/2019 01:24

"My fella"
"His lady"
"My man

Dolly is that you?

chipsandgin · 27/05/2019 01:27

(& yes, weird behaviour on his part -
people can be weirdly jealous though, it’s not acceptable however so don’t put up with it. Simple as that really..)

PookieDo · 27/05/2019 01:30

All I can think is ‘whose your fella Annabella?’

Sorry Blush

Time to stop believing in "The One". Fairytales stop adult women drawing good boundaries. You're worth morenthan this.

He may be accusing you out of being uncomfortable, has he explained why he's suggesting this? Have you asked him what made him think this would even be a possibility?

Does he know this friend and his wife quite well? Has he ever suggested anything like this previously?

You should not have to convince him you have done nothing wrong. Instead you ask why he's thinking this way and tell him the truth. It's then up to him to decide whether or not he believes you. If he does, then the matter can end and you make it clear that you will not accept this form of an accusation again. If he does not, then it's something you will need to think about when considering the future of your relationship with him.

Guilty consciences are not the only reason for people to accuse, it can often be own insecurities, and lack of understanding of opposite sex friendships.

Has he been cheated on before? If he's been cheated on before he's probably paranoid about it and sadly your the person who gets to deal with the aftermath.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 27/05/2019 06:11

Guilty conscience or not, he'd be gone. I can't be arsed with jelous men, it's so exhausting! Your friend came in to wait for a taxi fgs!
