Curiosity killed the cat!
You know that phrase “Curiosity killed the cat”? Well, an unwarranted, suspicious, controlling curiosity could kill a marriage too. It’s not unusual for couples to share who’s texting, of course. But when you know logically that there’s no reason to be suspicious, and you still act as if you are, that’s a problem.
You may have an overwhelming curiosity. Okay, so you’re curious. Everyone can be at times. But if you act on that curiosity by checking up on your husband, what you’re essentially saying is, “I have an overwhelming feeling that I want to follow right now, and I’m going to follow right now, even though it is completely illogical and the wrong thing to do.”
We can all think of times when we’ve done something we knew was wrong, out of overwhelming emotion. When has it ever ended well? Letting negative emotions rule how we respond to things can even have life-shattering consequences. Like what could happen if you convey to a man you trust and adore that you don’t actually trust and adore him.
