How can I get my husband to stop being jellous?

Question

My husband usually is very understanding and not jellous about anything. We communicate very well and we do not try to control each others lives. He does get jellous over a friend of mine that is a male. We are working together on several projects involving self employment so it requires that we spend time together, talk on the telephone and travel places together. My husband gets upset when I need to go somewhere with my friend and we are going to be alone or gone late. He trusts me with everything else I do and says he knows that I would never cheat on him. My friend would never try to get involved with me or any other married woman. As this is to do with business, I cannot discontinue my friendship and I don't want to, he's like a brother to me. I would like to know how I can get my husband to lighten up and see that nothing bad is going on, and for him to relax about it. Any ideas on how I could do this, or why he is upset about this particular person and no others? Thanks

I also wanted to add that my husband goes to work everyday and there are female co-workers there, and I NEVER say anything about that because I know that he would never be unfaithful and it's perfectly normal and healthy to associate with members of the opposite sex. I try to explain this to him, but he sees it totally differently because his job is the standard 9-5, which is nothing like that I do for work. My friend and I never stay overnight together, and my husband always has contact info. like cell phone numbers to reach me whenver I am gone, and he always knows when I am coming back, and I always come back when I say I am going to....I don't know what else I can do because now it has gotten to the point where it is stressful just to tell my husband I need to go do something with my friend. He doesnt understand that it is work and I cannot take hm and the kids with me. We dont go with him to work.

Answer 1

It's perfectly normal that your husband gets jealous of you speaking to another man, whether its for business porposes or whatnot. it's healthy, yet don't let it go overboard. reassure to him that it is strictly business only, and that you need to continue speaking to him because it involves your business. this jealousy issue of your husband's can be quite a little annoying, but at the same time it's cute because it shows that he really cares and loves you. talk to him and reassure to him that you love him very much and that he should not be so jealous because all you have with that male friend of yours is just a business partner and a friendship, nothing more. the more you reassure to your husband that you love him, the more he will be comfortable.

Answer 2

Perhaps he feels your male friend is more attractive than he is, or smarter, or wealthier, etc. amd that makes him jealous? Maybe you could just tell your husband that he knows you need to workl with this guy, so what could you do to make him feel more comfortable about it?
Hopefully, you gus don't do stuff like share hotel rooms ot save on expenses. That would be asking for trouble :-)

Answer 3

How would you feel if your husband got a new friend that was a girl and hot and sexy?

Answer 4

Don't know but when you find out let me know....
