I'm in a situation I've never been in before.
I have a friend, who happens to be female, who is engaged. Her other half is under the impression that she's cheating on him with me, which she's not, and I've explained that multiple times to him. We (me and his fiancée) hang out most days, partly because he's in work most days, and she doesn't like being stuck indoors with nothing to do and no one to do it with (which I get like from time to time, myself), partly because we're both looking for work, and jobsearching with a friend makes the time go by faster. His fiancée and I get on well. We usually go walking after jobhunting, either through town or the woods nearby, and we have a laugh with each other and have serious discussions as well. That's it, nothing more, nothing less.
My friend thinks (and I agree with her) that if her fiance hung out with the two of us together and took the time to get to know me, he'd realise that he's got nothing to worry about. However, we've invited him to join us on multiple occasions when he's had time off, but he refuses point blank every time.
His parents, apparently, are the ones who've put the idea in his head that I'm sleeping with his fiancée, and I find the idea that someone thinks I'm capable of that laughable. Aside from the fact that I have never crossed that line, and I never will, I'm not the smoothest when it comes to women as it is, so how someone thinks that I'd be able to seduce a woman who is in a committed long-term relationship is beyond me.
I think the problem he has with my being friends with his fiancée, is the fact that I'm male. Which is a ridiculous excuse. Men and women can be friends, it's not unheard of.
Has anyone else on the forum been through this sorta thing? Any advice on this would be appreciated.
