Social gatherings with a group of friends can shift with new family dynamics, leading to discomfort. One couple's decision to bring their adult children and a baby altered the original group's atmosphere, prompting a potential need for reevaluation among members. Open communication about feelings can help define the future of these social interactions. In a separate situation, a person in a long-term relationship is struggling due to stress and developing feelings for a coworker, leading to introspection about boundaries and emotional fidelity.
Poll the other members of your group about how they feel about the younger adults and the baby being with you. You may discover you are not the only ones who aren't comfortable with it. If that's the case, then someone is going to have to speak up and object.
If you and your husband are alone in feeling the way you do, the two of you should bow out and socialize with other friends.
I never intended to develop feelings for another man, but I have them, and they are real. Brad and I work together and talk often. He makes me feel a way I haven't felt in years.
In my mind, we haven't crossed any lines, except that I have developed feelings for him. I believe he feels the same about me, although neither of us has put it into words.
