druidess6308: Yes, it should apply to any friendship...and yes, it implies a small amount of lack of trust. Did I mention I wasn't pleasantly surprised to discover this truth about myself? However, I'm honest. There are situations where I might have a problem with this. But I'll also say that I'd feel the same if he were spending too much time alone out with his male buddies. And I would hope that he'd feel the same if I were spending too much time out with my female buddies. Again, my problem would come more with frequency.

Do we both need to be able to have time with our friends? Yes. Should it matter if they are male or female? No. Are there times when it might? Yes...for me.


I agree that time spent with a partner should have priority over time spent with friends. A friendship should never take anything away from a partner, but their should be enough time in any healthy relationship for both.

doh how in the Hell did you come up with that..

My husband and I agee on this about opposite sex..no arguments
about it..

Marriage is about making each other happy..not the outside world...

Fear has nothing to do with it..

I dont want to go out with the opposite sex..neither does he..

So i dont see a problem here..

Why do y'all see such a problem with what he/me agree to..

dunno confused

If only that creature was as appealing and tasty as bubblegum, Laura...hug laugh conversing
As long as she isn't canceling plans with me to go hang out with him I'm usually okay with it. I can't say I don't get a little jealous but usually it's more because he gets to spend time with her when I can't. Like the woman I'm dating now is in CA for the holidays and is hanging out with all of her close friends which 4/6's are women, one's homosexual, and the other has no interest in her in that way, but I get a little jealous because they get to spend time with her while I'm stuck with my family here in AZ laugh

As long as he isn't displaying an interest and actually making moves on her (or vice versa) I'm usually fine with it.

I don't see any problem with what you two agree to in your relationship. This is something that must be in sync between partners, and every couple needs to do what is comfortable for both of them.

The only time that it becomes a problem is when both partners don't share the same viewpoint on it. hug

Yes, that would be the jealousy of which I speak, C. As I said, a minor jealously, just a little of it. Because I also need my space, and I'm secure, but I'm human. wine

i just dont get where he says fear is running my life..

becos i am not miserable in the choices my husband and i make..

This is what we agree and i am happy about it

Right. It's also hard to have those feelings sometimes largely due to not wanting to be a hypocrite. I have tons of females friends, two of which are very close to me. I don't like being jealous of my significant other because it's not really fair when I do the same thing. If they do things like flirt in front of me I usually say something and if my girlfriends best friend is actively trying to hook up with her, especially right in front of me, and she refuses to do something about it then she'll usually be single by the nightfall.

So I guess to summarize. Yes, jealousy happens mostly because they're doing what I wish I could be doing (hanging out) but not because I don't trust her. Issues arise when one is actually hitting on the other or if they're being uber affectionate in front of me while I am ignored (Ooohh... I hate that.).

This went on longer than I'd intended lol.
