In your pre-posting questionnaire, you wrote that you’re 30 and your husband is 33 and you’ve been together for a year, and long-distance for a month. Your husband doesn’t like you holding hands with your brother — so why not just stop? It seems like a small kindness you can do for your husband. 😉 And if he is jealous of your male colleagues and college friends, why not restrict your social life to your female friends as long as you and your husband are long distance? You didn’t mention how long the two of you are going to be long distance or why you’re long distance, but if you’ve only been married for a year or less, it would seem like these little things he’s asking for might be a temporary gift to him from you. When you live together, not long distance, then maybe you can invite him along with your male friends and their wives or girlfriends, so it isn’t as threatening to him. It sounds like these feelings he’s having are about the distance, and once that’s solved, you may not have this problem.
