My wife Nina and I have known each other for seven years and we've been together for two years, married for about six months. We also have a ten month old baby together.
My wife has a friend named Rick(m29). We all met about six years ago, when we were going to school, but me and Rick aren't very close friends. My wife and Rick have stayed in contact for these years.
Me and Nina dated for a few months when we went to school together back in 2013-2014. We broke off our relationship when she got a job across the country, but we remained in touch over the years. And about two years ago she moved back to the same city, so we started seeing each other again.
Nina was and is a lot closer to Rick than I was, but I knew him a little bit too on my own. I used to have pretty bad jealousy issues, I still do somewhat, but I've gotten it mostly under control. Maybe that's why I didn't think anything was weird about their "friendship".
We were laying down last night, about to go to sleep when she said we needed to talk. She told me she's been emotionally cheating on me. She's been opening up to Rick about our relationship, about her dreams and goals for life, and about anything that's on her mind. I don't even know if this is really cheating. But I will say she doesn't talk about this stuff to me. Plans for the future obviously, but never talks to me about her dreams, or book ideas. Whenever I've brought it up in the past, she's told me that I'm not interested in those things. That is kinda true, we have different hobbies, but she is my wife, I'll talk to her about anything. But she claims that Rick is the only person that understands.
She said that she started to feel guilty over it. But claims that there's no romantic feelings involved. Rick used to have feelings for her, this was back in 2013-2014 though. And I know people can just be friends, but I'm not so sure about it.
I don't know what to do I guess. This really kinda came out of nowhere. Part of me also thinks that I'm not really getting the full story. And today when I got home from work, she was just shut down and didn't want to talk about it.
TLDR : Wife admitted she's been emotionally cheating on me with a friend that used to have feelings for her. She says there's no romantic feelings between the two of them now. Wife feels guilty about talking to another man though. Doesn't want to hurt marriage. Was open about it last night, but doesn't want to talk about it now.
