Dear S.Q., My wife has discouraged me from going to her small, college reunion because I’ll “be bored.” She had two long-term boyfriends, one of whom is divorced and the other has put out feelers that he hopes to see her. She’s staying for the weekend at a hotel and tells me not to worry. But I do.
Dear I Do. How strong is your marriage; how committed are you both to being faithful; and how truthful are your words to each other? Do not underestimate the potential temptation that a reunion can pose. Tell her ahead of time about your exact concerns and afterwards. Don’t be vague, like “did you have fun?” DO have fun in reliving the party with her (without interrogations). Ask what are the future plans with these gents - nothing, texts, social media buddies or more? Trust but verify, right? If she says that you two are solid, don’t worry unless her actions deviate from her words. -SQ
