than why he shows some jellousy towrds her

DoubleM agony auntFollowing suggestions offered at the request of the poster:

While I have never had experience even similar to what you described, it is hard for me to understand myself. But I think that, for one thing, it is not really any of your business and you should not get personally involved.

However, it would be an interesting situation to observe. Also, it sounds as if one friend's wife is quite naughty, perhaps unsatisfied by her husband, and the husband knows not what to do about it.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

thanks for passing guys

1-) i am concerned because i am the one my friends asks for help and refuge but this case is realy strange..

2-) CG i asked my friend the same quistion

but he knows for sure that the guy is asleep as he observed him

3-)brooklyngirl your answer was helpfull

but i still find this situation strange

because when a man loves a woman he well feel jeallous if any one tryed to approach her

4-) this couple aren't having an open marriage

because if they did my friend wouldn't have been worried about..

Brooklyngirl agony auntI don't know how people can live in a situation like this...I guess only the people in it can attempt to explain.

I know of similar circumstances with a friend of mine. She has been married to her child hood sweetheart, and has 3 children and two grandchildren. She also has a lover in another part of the country. She visits him at least two or three times a year. He sends presents to her at her home with her husband. And it seems that her husband is fine with it. However, in his situation as in the one you describe. The husband displays sudden outbursts of jealousy.

In my opinion, the husbands must be profoundly insecure to accept such arrangements, and are willing to accept anythig to keep their wives in their lives.

I can't imagine being in such a relationship and my heart goes out to the husbands!

Did he fall asleep? Or was he pretending? It's more likely he either doesn't know what to do, or perhaps really doesn't care. I think you'll find he's in denial, or he just does't know what to do about it.

There are many reasons why someone may not mind if someone else is (to the outside world) having an affair. They might have agreed to an open marriage. They may have agreed to experiment or seperate but stay under the same roof. My question is..... why are you so concerned?? Do you take issue with this behaviour and if so why? It is up to other people how they want to be honest or not - if you don't like a situation then the best thing is to not get involved at all.
