Dr. Ashish ji, Is it normal that my husband texts a coworker that he misses her? Am I overreacting ?

Ans: It is not uncommon for people to develop close friendships with their coworkers, but it's important to consider the context and the nature of your husband's text to his coworker. If your husband has a close working relationship with this coworker and the text was innocent in nature, there may not be any cause for concern. However, if your husband and this coworker have a history of flirting or if the text seems overly affectionate, it could be a sign of an inappropriate relationship.

In any case, it's important to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about your concerns. Ask him to explain the context of the text and his relationship with this coworker. If you have concerns about the nature of the relationship, express them and let your husband know how it makes you feel.

It's also important to consider whether this text is consistent with your husband's behavior towards other coworkers. If your husband has a pattern of texting or communicating with coworkers in an overly affectionate manner, it could be a red flag and may indicate a deeper issue.

Ultimately, it's important to trust your instincts and to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about your concerns. If you continue to feel uneasy about the situation, it may be helpful to seek the guidance of a therapist or a relationship coach.
