Relationship Question

I think my partner is sleeping around

Dear Rose, I’m concerned that my partner of over ten years is sleeping with somebody else. I have no evidence, but things just seem wrong to me. If I say something and I’m wrong, it could destroy our relationship. What should I do? KT

Dear KT, Sadly, sometimes relationships slip. It may be time to  reevaluate your feelings, as they might be sending you down a slippery slope. If you are unhappy, you might be manifesting unwarranted suspicion. Making an accusation of infidelity to your partner without being totally sure something is actually happening may not destroy your relationship, but will certainly become a wedge of distrust and disunity between you both. 

So, until you are sure, I would take this opportunity to examine the status of the relationship. Consider telling your partner that you feel the relationship needs some extra care and love. Work on rebuilding trust and a loving environment. Honest communication is always recommended.
