My husband barely knows my riding buddy. But he dislikes him and is jealous when we ride together. Good riding buddies are hard to come by and I'm not sure what to do.

A little more background: he has no cause to be jealous. We are just riding buddies and nothing more. Although there seem to be hordes of women on TE, there just don't seem to be many women cyclists in my area! Or else they seem to be of two extremes--super serious and way faster, or recreational and way slower and can't go as far.

I do ride a lot with my husband, who is in the "way slower" (but improving) category. He may be sensitive about his physical condition, and comparing himself to my riding buddy. I love rides by myself too, but not all the time.

Any thoughts?
