My husband (28M) is living with a female “friend” and she (22F) has become hostile towards me (23F)
6KMy husband and I have been married for 3 years and our marriage is on the rocks. It all mainly started after the birth of our first child together, in which he became increasingly irritable, aggressive, and sexually distant from me. Once he started to get physically abusive by grabbing and pushing me we decided to live at different residences in a desperate attempt to salvage our marriage. That was three months ago.
I’m currently living with my mom and I work part time while also taking care of our 18 month old son, with the help of her. My husband purchased a new condo with the financial help of his dad, and lives with a female friend of his (22F) who he apparently charges rent. I was uncomfortable about his living arrangement with this woman from the moment I found out about it, mainly because we agreed that WE ARE NOT taking a break in the sense of seeing others and we are still married and NOT going through a separation, but just trying to give each other, mainly him, space.
She has become very hostile towards me, which is strange because she’s supposedly only his friend and basically a tenant of his. For example I went to visit him with our son, and the whole time she was sitting near him and staring at me with hatred. When I asked if he and I could talk privately she said “no, this is our place” and of course this made everything awkward so I just left shortly after that.
I don’t know why she would act so hostile towards me if she was just a friend and tenant of his? My husband didn’t seem bothered by her rudeness towards me either, and at one point I thought I saw him smirk. I don’t know if I should be concerned that he and her have become more than friends, especially since my husband told me through text that him and I are still “exclusive” to each other.
What is the best way to continue with this awkward situation?
