Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Don't trust your spouse's opposite sex friend, unless you know for a fact that they're gay!

My husband and I have a rule...zero one on one time with anyone of the opposite sex. We trust each other implicitly, but why open the door for a relationship to develop? We have plenty of mutual friends and opposite sex friends are fine, as long as we don't spend any time with them alone.
Ask yourself this question...why do you want to be friends with this person and what do you want out of the relationship?

It would be great that you could be friends with opposite sex friends, (my wife is friendly with nearly all the women I work with). How ever I tend to believe that there are moments that this friend may be suspected as a rival. Maybe a fleeting moment, but I sure the suspicion is there...someplace (repressed or just not conscious).

If you trust each other you should be able to be friends with anyone. My significant other (and we have been living together for nearly 8 years now) has quite a few female friends, some of them, I have met once or twice but they're more his friends than mine. We are both truck drivers, and at one time we were both training new drivers. 97% of the drivers I trained were men.
We love and trust each other enough to know that nothing is going to happen that shouldn't. We both know that there's nobody else who is gonna put up with his s---t any more than there's anyone who will put up with mine.
Good Luck. In my opinion you have to completely trust your other half before you can claim that you are completely in love with them. How can you love somebody if you're not sure you can trust them?

Any time 2 people spend time together a male & female, the more time spent the closer they may become and hm thats sounds like trouble to me.. I don't think it's a good idea. If the friendship is between all of you and time together is all of you then ok, no calling just to chat, etc. setting yourself up to be burned...

Yep, i purposely made friends with all the women in my boyfriends life- just to let them know that i was in the picture and he was mine! Real friends stick around and don't mind becoming a friend to you both-those who are after more back off!!!

If you're just friends then there is nothing wrong with it. If you're looking for a little something on the side... well, that all depends on your morals.
