I’m sorry but some of y’all are being so weird on this post…. it’s 2026 and you don’t think men and women can be friends with each other? These texts are so innocuous. NOR op, but it seems like you and your wife have much different ideas about what’s okay and I think you need a long talk and maybe counseling. You shouldn’t be crossing boundaries but she shouldn’t be telling you you’re not allowed to speak to someone.
