Wife wants to invite a male friend over to watch Netflix with us

That’s where trust and communication come in. Essentially you don’t trust your wife to not keep this relationship platonic. I understand feeling worried and insecure but that’s on you to communicate those feelings to your wife and figure out why you don’t trust her. Is it past behavior on her part? Would you struggle to keep the relationship platonic if the roles were reversed? Have you been cheated on in the past?

My husband has a female coworker that he walks with on their breaks and lunches. They text relatively frequently. It doesn’t bother me because I trust him and I feel secure in our relationship. If he crossed the line I would be very sad, but that hasn’t happened and I’m not going to spend my time worrying about “what ifs.” Just talk to your wife, I think you’ll feel better after you do.
