If She Still Has Feelings for Him Then We Have a Problem...
I've been married to my college sweetheart, "Mariah," for six months. We have our differences, but we always work them out, it seems. However, I am in a bind over one issue. She introduced her best friend from high school, "Candice," to her ex-boyfriend, "Adam." She says she didn't expect anything to happen, but Adam and Candice are a couple now, and Mariah is furious. She says that Candice shouldn't go out with Adam because Adam is her ex (they dated for less than six months in high school.) She's told me about the odd circumstances under which they broke up and how they might even be together today if not for that. She swears to me that she has no unresolved feelings for Adam, but she continues to be upset at both him and Candice. She says she just wishes to be happy and feel the way she did when she and I first started dating, and she hates how Candice describes their relationship. Mariah and Candice speak to each other off and on, exchanging heated words through IM, and their most recent exchange somehow ended up with a (date TBD) double-date between me, Mariah, Adam, and Candice. Is she behaving in such a way that indicates that she really doesn't have feelings for Adam, or are we on the fast track to heartbreak? We just bought a house together, so I am inclined to believe she wants to be with me, but if she still has feelings for Adam, then we have a problem.
