Is there an issue here or am I the issue 🥲

September last year my husband got a new job which was great! He hated his last job he was talked down to, was always stressed, and blamed for everything that went wrong but at this job they appreciate him and take care of him which makes us both so happy. I’ve noticed better changes with him and between us. Starting about a month or two after he began working there I looked at his work phone to be nosy and saw a woman texting him about a vacuum for her car so I asked him and he said she was always coming to his desk to ask for him to help her with personal issues and he always does because as he says “his ego doesn’t allow him to pretend he doesn’t know.” Which annoyed me but we moved past it. Then she tried to add him on Linked in to connect for work but he denied jt and then she tried again 8 MORE TIMES she kept requesting and requesting like she didn’t have thousands of people already. Then he told me how the company moved them to another building and as they were setting up their spots he says she tried to sit right next to him. Then I saw another text from her saying “He not my boyfriend! I don’t have a boyfriend he’s just my friend I didn’t mean to talk badly about him.” To which he responded “That’s fine lol it’s your choice.” He constantly says how annoying she is and how he can’t stand her but then comes home like “oh I can’t be mean and ignore her.” “I can’t report her for distracting me from my work.” “I can’t request to move seats I don’t want to sit next to that another guy” If she’s so annoying and you hate her so much how do you not do anything about it when you can. I know this lady does karate, she’s vegan, all this shit about her and he was saying how him and another guy tease her. Do you seriously do that if you don’t like someone? I’m stressing out and maybe a little since I’m pregnant and I’m high risk so I tell him that letting her create that opening where she can come to him for anything and text him about personal issues doesn’t make me feel comfortable but there’s only so much I can do. It’s to the point where if I bring it up he just storms off. Am I being dramatic or is there an issue here?

You are not being dramatic. There is something weird going on

Your feelings are VALID! I would have a talk with your husband about setting boundaries. Tell him it makes you uncomfortable that a female is texting him. Especially if he doesn’t like her/she’s annoying. It has nothing to do with jealously but respect to you from the both of them. If I didn’t like someone I wouldn’t be talking to them in person or text. If your husband is sincere about thinking she’s annoying he needs to hear you out and set those boundaries and make it clear that her texting him is inappropriate and he needs to also draw that line at work towards her. If there’s a company event you can also introduce yourself to her so she knows your husband is married and expecting a baby on the way. You can too set that boundary so she is aware her communication with him makes you uncomfortable.

Contradicting statements. The inability to communicate and validate your feelings. No reassurance. Possible flirting/ it doesn’t scream siblings or friends it’s like middle crush stuff going on.. your feelings are valid. If he wears a ring, she knows. She might just see this as a competition so I’d say if he wanted it to stop it would have already. Seems like he’s gaslighting you…

It doesn’t sound like he’s cheating but it doesn’t sound like he has the needed boundaries with her. I would also feel a way about this situation.
