57 “How — — doing?”

What I think is going on is less important by far than what YOU think is going on. It appears your husband has found a kindred spirit in this new employee — or something more. Dumping on his co-worker about problems in your marriage won’t lead to satisfactory conclusions.

The two of you need to resolve your issues — including the fact that you no longer trust him — by talking them through with a licensed marriage and family counselor.

Please don’t wait until the situation deteriorates further to consult one.
