I'm curious...is it wrong for a married man or woman to have a platonic relationship with someone of the oppisite sex? Seems that older ppl have a problem with it,but not the younger crowd.Any opinions...

It's fine, but the friendship needs to be completely transparent. If the "friends" are also comfortable doing things together with any spouses present, then it's likely just a friendship. But spouses need to be aware. If either spouse is not comfortable with the arangement, it's better the friendship goes than the marriage loses out. If it appears that the friends may be doing more confiding in each other than in their spouses, it could be trouble. I'm 56.

Yes as long as they have trust in each other. My Husband and I have friends of the oppisite sex and his ex-wife and I even get along , because there is so much trust.

Yes, you can have friends of the opposite sex. I probably would not go and just hang out with them without your spouse being there because that could lead to marriage trouble.

Our rule is that the other spouse needs to be welcomed into and comfortable in the friendship, otherwise, it's a no-go.

Not a deep friendship. More like buddies at work, and then as part of a larger group.

I personally think no its not wrong,marriage is about trust they should trust the partner enough to think nothing will happen....but not everybody thinks like that trust me

I suppose. Would you trust them to be just "friends?"
