What is the deal with jealousy and insecurity these days? I have recently dealt with friends of mine having double standards concerning FRIENDSHIPS with other people. I believe it is healthy to maintain and create friendships, regardless of gender, for the purposes of support, fun, etc in work, day to day, and personal life.
Now, how is it fair for somebody to say they have have those friendships, but their spouse can't? Keep in mind, these are in no way romantic. Also, if you are somehow worried that they will BECOME that way, what are you doing to help feed and maintain your own relationship to prevent any chance of that happening? Saying that your spouse cannot have any friends of a certain gender just sounds petty and jealous.
I guess what I'm asking is do you think that it's normal and okay to let jealousy and insecurity control your life? When you consider it, people *choose* to stray or to be together, or that's how it should be. You aren't required to accept an advance.
