Dear Abby: My husband said the text he got from my brother was just a joke. Should I believe him?
Briefly

Expecting a child has led to feelings of neglect for a wife whose husband has become very close to her brother. This development has caused concern, especially after noticing an affectionate text from her brother to her husband. The wife's anxieties are compounded by her husband's emphasis on spending time with her brother before their child arrives. The situation raises questions about the emotional dynamics at play and the wife's fears regarding the nature of her husband's friendship with her brother. Open communication about feelings is essential in this relationship.
As thrilled as you are about this pregnancy, your husband may be less so. In fact, he may regard the approaching arrival of his child as a door closing on having a life.
There are straight men (men's men) who prefer the company of men over that of women.
Your feelings of neglect are valid, but it is essential to communicate openly with your husband about where your relationship currently stands.
