Three's a crowd

A third party - whether an ex, mother-in-law or best friend - can coz tension in a marriage. How to you handle it?

Best friend -- I'd invited her to dinner, he was annoyed. but she's having relationship problems & needs support. should i ignore him? Everyone needs private friendships & close friendship of two women is a very powerful relationship. He may feel excluded coz men r often jealous of the intimacy two women can develop. Mayb he's worried u're both laughing at him or that u r disclosing things bout ur private life tat he wouldn't wan another woman to know. Try to call ur friend when he's not around.

Ex -- Do u feel secure in ur relationship? or u anxious bout he's feelings towards his ex? If so, talk to him & u'll probably b reassured & is she really is being intrusive, u can persuade him to do something bout it. Don't b too aggressive - look at it from his point of view. He may feel he has a duty towards her. But avoid talking to his ex bout it - it's up to him to sort out the problem. Accept tat u can't make her disappear. She is part of his past, but she is his ex. U r his present. Even so, bear in mind tat many men r flattered if their ex still seems to 'need' them - it doesn't mean tat they wan to return to their old life; it merely massage their ego!
