This isn't about emotional crap, OP. It's about money, which seems an eminently sane reason to be careful about who is friends with who.

No great disparities in income. And as I have said it's not just limited to my personal income. I've seen it on DCUM with women complaining about the girlfriend. or the wife and no longer having unlimited access to the guy.

This.

Typical DCUM response just pretend like whatever OP states doesn't exist especially if critical of women.

Or maybe we just have healthier relationships all around than you and OP?

Another typical smug and condescending DCUM response.

Something can be all three: smug, condescending, and the truth. Healthy relationships don’t feature this type of drama.

You are now derailing the threas. IF it doesn't pertain to your experience and you don't have an actual answer for the topic, see yourself out.

Consider that if you're a woman sharing with other women, and given that DCUM is mostly female, you're not getting the men's inner thoughts on this

Fair enough, but with that same argument if it wasn't an issue among women, then it wouldn't appear so frequently on DCUM. Also in real life, this is rarely an issue for men from what I have observed.

And women are opportunistic - some worse than others.

If the premise is true - maybe women put more value on the friendship, so it feels like more of a loss to them if their friend gets married. The male friend might be somewhat attracted to a female friend and realize that they need to back off if she's together with someone else.

This is why. I imagine if the best friend of my new boyfriend is unattractive I won't care if they spend time together but if she is hot, why tempt fate? Or so the thinking goes
