Hello,<br>I'm 28f and I've been really worried about my husband's (31m) friendship with a mutual friend (29f), let's call her Lily.<br><br>Lily and I have been friends for about five years. We met through work and have been close friends ever since. She's always been honest and caring, and I've trusted her implicitly.<br><br>My husband and I have been married for three years, and Lily has always been respectful of our relationship. However, I've noticed some behaviors from Lily that have made me feel uneasy.<br><br>For example, Lily often texts my husband, even when I'm around. She'll send him funny memes or links to articles, and they'll have a conversation about it. While this might seem harmless, it feels inappropriate to me, especially when we're all together.<br><br>Another thing that bothers me is that Lily often compliments my husband. She'll tell him how attractive he is or how talented he is at something. Again, this might not be a big deal, but it feels like she's flirting with him.<br><br>I've tried talking to my husband about this, but he doesn't think it's a problem. He says that Lily is just being friendly and that he doesn't feel uncomfortable around her. However, I can't shake off the feeling that something is going on between them.<br><br>I'm not sure what to do. Part of me wants to confront Lily and ask her if she has feelings for my husband. But another part of me is afraid of ruining our friendship over something that might not even be happening.<br><br>Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did you handle it?<br><br>Edit: After reading some of the comments, I wanted to add a few things for context:<br>- Lily and my husband have never been alone together without me present, as far as I know. But they sometimes spend more time together when the three of us are together, like if we're playing a board game or something.<br>- Lily and I use to have a tradition where we go out to lunch once a week. It's been a while since we've done it, she has been busy. We still talk all the time, but I miss our 1 on 1 time.<br><br>Thank you for your advice, I'll definitely talk to Lily soon.<br>I will also talk with my husband about our communication, or lack of.
