My husband has been constantly messaging an old female coworker on Instagram for a while now. He comments on her stories, and she keeps liking his posts. I didnāt say anything at first, but later I got a little jealous. When I asked him about it, he said, āWeāre just talking about work, stop being ridiculous,ā but I couldnāt relax. Is there anyone who has experienced this? Should I consider it normal?
So how long has this been going on? I mean, they could talk every now and then, but since you mentioned that weāre constantly messaging, it caught my attention. Have you ever come across any of their messages, for example?
I think thereās more than just work involved, because if it were just work, the messages wouldnāt be this frequent. Liking and commenting on Stories and all that feels a bit strange, to be honest. Are you sure thereās nothing else going on? 
Sometimes men do āinnocent flirtyā things on social media, but that doesnāt necessarily lead to something physical. If youāre feeling overly uncomfortable, you could try suggesting, āLetās take a look at our conversationsā to gauge where things stand.
Iāll update you, I havenāt looked at your messages at all, but for example, the other day a woman shared a song in her story, and my husband commented on it. It wasnāt even related to what the guy does, it was pretty irrelevant. Anyway, I want to ask directly but Iām a bit hesitant.
Iāve heard that men play the āalpha roleā when chatting with former colleagues. Thatās why they wouldnāt want to lose interest. Do you know about that event? I think it might be because of that 
Come on, I donāt think it needs to be dramatized that much. Your husband has already clearly told you that āweāre talking business.ā Maybe heās maintaining a sincere friendship due to his old ties. Pushing it that hard might be a bit much.
