My husband, Ryan, disliked our intimidating neighbor, Travis, walking our seven-year-old daughter Emma home from school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Travis looked frightening, I had known him for years and trusted him completely. Emma also enjoyed their walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ryan claimed he didn\u2019t trust Travis but never explained why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Emma\u2019s teacher called me to school. I discovered that Ryan had secretly arranged for his sister to pick Emma up instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emma told me, \u201cI want to stay with Travis. I trust him. I don\u2019t trust Daddy anymore.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n She explained that Ryan had repeatedly questioned her about Travis, asking whether he took her somewhere, gave her things, or told her to keep secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I confronted Ryan, he admitted he had been suspicious. Eventually, he revealed the real reason: he felt Travis was becoming more involved in Emma\u2019s life whenever Ryan couldn\u2019t be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He even admitted, \u201cSometimes I think you\u2019ve been in love with him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ryan realized his jealousy had put Emma in the middle. He apologized to everyone and began spending more time with his daughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually, Travis returned to the pickup list, while Ryan worked to rebuild the trust he had damaged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My husband, Ryan, disliked our intimidating neighbor, Travis, walking our seven-year-old daughter Emma home from school.
