I Want Someone I Can Tell Anything To

My husband and I have been struggling in our relationship. I have developed a crush on two men related to my work. One was a supervisor and the most recent was a customer. It never went any where and I never told them. My husband found out about the first a year later when I had written about him on a different site. I was more upset that he had been basically stalking me online and he was upset that I had had a crush and felt that I didn't want to be in our relationship anymore. I struggle with telling him about how I really feel about anything. I never tell anyone everything and never have. Back to the topic though. My second crush that was on a customer. He's a regular where I work and I think he's cute. I think he tried to ask me out one time but I can't tell if someone is flirting unless they are direct. I laughed and walked away. Later on I thought about the situation and texted a friend about it. My husband looked through my phone and found the messages. He thought I wanted to leave him for this guy. This was several months ago and we still haven't really recovered. He thinks I am emotionally unfaithful and I feel like I have no outlet to express how I feel because he always finds it and gets hurt by it. I have no desire to cheat on my husband. I just have never truly let someone in and I don't know how to break down that barrier I have or if I even want to.

From the sounds of your posts it just seems that you need to make the decision of if your marriage is really worth working on for you. Your husband going through your phone was very wrong and if you feel like he's stalking your online presence I would confront him on it and it a stop to it now. But on your part I would highly suggest opening up to him more, you'll likely continue to develop crushes on other men until you do because you've kept yourself back from your husband leaving the room for another man. If you and your husband want to continue your marriage I highly suggest taking it out alone or with a arbitrator such as a couples therapist.

Good luck finding your way into your future.
