Dear Miss Emily:

Last year we (fiance and me) bought a house, and it just so happens we got new renters that brought the wife's best friend  Well, she and my fiance became, I believe, more than friends. I have expressed my dislike, and he says nothing is going on -- but I beg to differ.  He is calling her, she calls him, and I am sick over this. Please help, and thank you.

----------------------------Miss Emily's advice-----------------------

Hold off on marrying a man who has frequent correspondence with a single woman, and he tells you, "Nothing is going on." Now you must tell him, "Okay, if nothing is going on, you shouldn't have a problem with ending the relationship (all correspondence), because you're sensitive to my feelings -- the person who should come first in your life." Please make that clear to him. If he doesn't understand, tell him that's a shame, but you do, and end plans to marry a man who, more than likely is smitten with this woman. There's no problem with having a friend of the opposite sex, but it should be inclusive.This is a red flag, and you need keep your eyes and ears open on this one. An ultimatum, in this case, may be warranted.  "End it, or we end."
