Hi Chicagirlie!

Welcome to the Focus Online Community - thank you so much for posting your question here!  I am so glad you have already received some great input so far from others, but I wanted to hop on here and suggest some information that you may want to take a look at that may be helpful.  In response to your question, I just want to echo what the others have said - you are not simply being insecure.  It sounds like there is a lack of boundaries in your marriage right now, and this is so important for a couple to establish to protect the marriage relationship.  In response to your question, I just want to echo what the others have said - you are not simply being insecure.  To discuss this issue in greater length with an understanding person, please feel free to give our counselors a call.  They will be able to provide you with some specific guidance.

I would also recommend reading our article series titled, "Building Hedges Around Your Marriage."  Jerry Jenkins discusses these concepts in greater detail in his book and broadcast located to the right of the article.  In addition, the articles, "Defending Your Marriage From External Stressors" will also give you some great talking points to use with your husband and give you a greater understanding of why your husband's behavior is not appropriate.

I am praying for strength, peace, and comfort for you, Chicagirlie.  Please let us know how it's going, OK?
