Answer 2

No I don't beleive that men and women can just be friends because isn't that how you guys met as just friends? The thing is you have to have trust that your gfrd/bfrd loves you enough to not cheat and be with someone else. If you are doing what you should as a husband and or wife than you shouldn't worry if they are cheating. You can't go around always wondering if they are cheating that is very unhealthy. Take it from someone who's been married and divorced twice already. Communication and trust are the only way to survive a marriage.

Answer 3

The question is irrelevant. There is more to this story than you are asking. Can husbands have female friends and just be friends, yes. But it sounds like you two aren't getting along very well. In a case like that...it sounds like he is looking for something he is not getting from you. But, if you hound him about it, it will only make it worse. What you need to do is find out what the problem is, if you can't, or he won't tell you, then kill him with kindness. Fix his favorite meals, wait on him, be glad to see him, do everything you can think of to make him happy. If he still wants to talk with other women, let him. Stay off his back and don't nag him. You can't divorce someone for talking. Don't jump to conclusions, it may be harmless. Good luck.

Answer 4

I don't have a problem with it just as long as she knows her place,and as long as my husband doesn't get mad over my male friends if I know that he doesn't like the guy I'm talking to then I won't talk to him in front of my husband.
Some men, I feel shouldn't have women friends, I know a few men that are married and they seem to not care for their wives feelings. I've seen some guys trying to get dates with there so called girl friends. I have even had a few ask me and when I tell them I'm married they always say so what so I'm I or they will say what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

Answer 5

If my husband had any, I hope I'd be cool with it. I have a few male friends and I know my husband doesn't wonder why I don't just talk to him, because what I talk to them about is things that are of common interest (and things that don't necessarily interest my husband too much) like work, etc. It really helps if the spouse is considered a part of the friendship, too. I know my husband considers my male friends his friends, too, even though they are more my friend than his.

Answer 6

I generally dont go for it especially if they have been involved in the past, my boyfriend and I agree cheating isnt just w/sex it can be emotional and your spouse should be your best friend, casual friends are ok but not on an every day or every couple day basis I mean for what really, yes I would get funny and essentially the only reason to talk w/someone else would be if its something he feels you shouldnt know or wouldnt be ok with or couldnt be honast w/you about it unless its about how good the movie was or other friends or something stupid Good Luck

Answer 7

No, I don't think that a man and woman can just be friends. I tried that before with my childhood friend and on up until he passed away (before I got married) and we did things that more than just friends do. And if they can't talk in front of you then they don't need to be talking behind you. Especially if ol' girl acting like she don't want to get to know me even if I'm his significant other or call and act like she needs to only speak to him. So I would have to talk to my man and let him know that I don't feel comfortable with him and his homegirl closeness. It seems to be getting a little bit to close and I would appreciate it if there's going to be some type of association I would like it if I was around. If he doesn't like that, then that's a que for me to know what's up. Oh, yeah, she'd have to bounce.

Answer 8

I do believe that men and women can be just friends. I have male friends that I talk to and we are just friends. I am sure you have guys that you talk to also. My husband has friends that he chats with and that is fine. If it is someone that I don't feel comfortable with I do let him know.
If he was not comfortable with one of my male friends I would respect his wishes and not talk to that friend any more. I love and respect my husband enough for that.

Answer 9

Most male female relationships are more than friends. There are exceptions to every rule, but if your husband can't talk to you, you have a bigger problem. If they are just friends do you hang around with them? You could tell right away if you were around them whether or not it was just a friendship!!!

Answer 10

you probably did not do something incorrect. It appears like he places in ear plugs each and every time you attempt to educate your causes in the back of distrusting her. perchance he needs to take heed to it from a nil.33 get mutually, like a couples councilor, with the intention to even attempt listening to the message. it really is extraordinary that he has no idea why you're disenchanted, yet with out any sure information that something is going on, you would possibly want to assume that's naivety or vanity on his section. there is yet another danger for his performing this way except dishonest. i do not comprehend how issues were going between you 2 previously he met this female, yet is is attainable that he hasn't been feeling a lot affection from you latterly? perchance the actual incontrovertible actuality that you weren't truly giving something substantial to him like on-line chatting a danger, he felt like he needed some validation from someone. So he might want to correctly be properly attentive to this female's charm to him, and makes use of that to boost his personal ego. attempt being truly affectionate and spontaneous and note how that has consequences on his pursuit of this female's friendship.
