Strawberry Letter 23: What is wrong with my husband

Dear Shirley and Steve,

Hello, my husband and I are in our early 30’s and get along very well, he is a great provider and he is a good father to my children. However, our marriage is suffering due to a habit that he can not seem to break. My husband talks to younger females in their 20’s, whom are thin and somewhat attractive (I am short and thick could be smaller but I am happy with myself). I find this offensive and heartbreaking and I tell him that I am not happy with him talking to other women. I tell him that this needs to stop, I don’t know how much more I can take, I don’t want to throw our marriage away due to his unhealthy habit with social media but enough is enough. He tells me that if I didn’t snoop through his phone I would never know what he was doing and always makes excuses, or tries to turn things around on me. Example he says well do I go through your phone to check your messages, do I answer your calls. I say no you do not but if you wanted to you could because my phone is never on silent or vibrate it’s always laying right next to him which his is always on and hides his phone or shuts it off so that it does not keep going off. He has more females on his Facebook page than the harbor tunnel has cars. He thinks that this type of behavior is okay and that he is doing nothing wrong. He says well I’m not out physically screwing these women I’m just talking to them on social media what am I doing that is so wrong? I asked him why does he find it so easy to talk to these other women when I am his wife and he should be more than happy and willing to discuss any and all issues that he is having with me. He said that he doesn’t know why it’s so easy to talk to them it just is and I shouldn’t be mad. I said well I am angry because, I’m your wife and you should be able to communicate with me regardless of what the situation, that’s what I am here for this is why we got married, I’m your lover, your friend, your shoulder, your rock, and your backbone at least that’s how you describe me to others than why in my eyes cheat on social media? Why do you feel the need to socialize with these women on social media? Why do you find this easy and find no fault in it? It’s ridiculous I don’t know which way to turn anymore. How do I get my husband to stop messaging these other women on social media? I know if I were to do what he is doing, I would not be able to write this letter right now because me and whoever would be dead. I’m just saying he wouldn’t tolerate it from me, but it’s always okay for him to do whatever he wants. Please help me morning show I am at my ends wit and I don’t know which way to turn anymore.

Sincerely A Wife Whose Ready To Throw In The Towel!!!!!!!!
