In today’s story, a woman grapples with an intense aversion to her husband’s colleague, only to face his dismissive response. As tensions rise and the situation unfolds, we are invited to explore the complexities of marital communication, personal boundaries, and the fine line between intuition and overreaction. She explained what’s happening. Me (F27) and my husband (M34) have been married for 3 years but were dating 4 years prior. He recently got a promotion in his company and moved to a different department. In this department, he recently started interacting with a colleague (F24). I dislike her and have from the start.

Every time I’m there, she makes sure to call him her work husband. Or she will do simple things such as making him food or giving him extra tight hugs. But my breaking point was last week when he had come home with the food I made him. When I asked him why his lunch bag was still full of what I had made him in the morning, he said that she had made him food, and he didn’t want to seem rude and waste it. So I ignored it till he threw away the food I made him.

I woke up at 6 am just to make him his favorite food.But ever since then, this has been happening every day. It’s started to get annoying. Till today, I decided not to make him lunch. He came downstairs in the morning to me making breakfast and asked me where his lunch was. I said I didn’t make him one because it was going to go to waste anyway. He started arguing that I was being petty over a little thing. But I tried to discuss how I felt, and he went over it.
