Hello all! Mr. Nadia here. sorry I dont have my own name but I feel compelled to thank you all for your advice. Although my wife seems to think way different than most of us do, but I told her how i felt about having the other man in her life, it was wrecking us and I told her he had to go or there wouldnt be an us. She said ok but really didnt like the idea and that she would probably lose respect for me by making her choose me over her friends.
anyway I have a question for all you professors out there.. Say 2 people were early in their relationship and there was someone(an old flame) in one of their lives that posed a a risk to thier marriage ( at least one of them seen this as true)and that person asked his wife or her husband to delete this person from thier life and they did and didnt have any second thoughts about it because their marriage was more important. Now twenty years have past and these two peple have respect and love for each other and are sure what they have and no one could come between them. In walks someone who has become a friend to one of them and starts to pose a problem (starts flirting and hitting on the other person). Is it right for the other spouse to want that friend out of his spouses life like it was in the beginning of the relationship or has the rules changed ?

In my opinion there is a difference between an old flame and a new friend. So you're already talking different rules. I would try expressing concern to the spouse first that you're not fond of the friend being "over friendly". Just a simple discussion. If it continues for an extended period of time and you know it's not just joking around, I'd pull the friend off to the side and have a discussion with them about. No threats, just a simple reminder and let him/her know it makes you a little uncomfortable because you can't tell if it's a game or a play. If it just started, it's probably too soon to tell which it is. At least make an effort to figure out on your own if it's just joking or making a move.

Is it not possible for the person who is being solicited to tell the "friend" to back off that they are in a commited relationship and have no interest in straying? Can the S/O not trust their partner to not succumb to the advances of the "friend"?

I think Mr. & Mrs. Nadia need to discuss this with eachother. The opinions of strangers should not be a guide for your relationship. Getting people to take one side or another does not help your relationship or show that one person or another's feeling should be validated more than the others. Turn off the computer and talk to eachother.

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

i detected a bit of sarcasm too, lil, but perhaps it is not so and only the fault of internet expression. hope so. vengeance would only serve to wedge even the tiniest crack wider. anyway, i did think on it and i do have advice. relationships can evolve, sure enough. and what was needful then may not be needful now and the other way round. BUT no matter how seasoned a relationship is, if onehalf wants otherhalf to stop doing something that hurts and otherhalf really does love onehalf unconditionally, then it isn’t wrong to ask otherhalf to stop. and otherhalf should want to stop once they found out how badly onehalf was hurting.

on the other hand - if onehalf wants otherhalf to stop doing something that maybe so or maybe no could lead to hurt, well then, that is an issue of trust, no? not love. in which case love should be weighed again, perhaps. and as is almost always the quandary, what does onehalf do if the stopping will only make otherhalf the one hurting? if peeps knew that, the divorce rate would be a tenth what it is, i suspect.

good luck. i sincerely hope you can work it out.

All seriousness aside, I agree that this convo needs to be limited to a capacity of two . & if three's a crowd, then all of Pixies' taking sides amounts to an unnaturally large gathering.

Talk to each other...it's the only answer I have to explain how the 'zoid marriage has lasted since the Ford administration.

Mr Nadia, and Nadia.

Either you have a relationship of love AND respect, or you have a farce.

It feels real, looks real from the outside, but it is a charade.

We all have desires which would be met very nicely by "refreshment sex"

with an outsider, but unless the marriage is one of those very rare ones

which thrives on expanded intimacy, it's a joke.

"If you loved me you'd let me fuck my brains out with outsiders" isn't a statement of love, but emotional blackmail.

Get real while (or if) you have something to get real about.
