[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just recently got married, &lt;30 days. My husband had/has a single female friend that he is in a fair amount of contact with prior to our marriage. I mean like daily, talks on phone on way to work(long commute), texting in evening and occasional email. Nothing going on just talking about weather, work things, work gossip, tv shows. She is very accomplished and he ask her questions concerning a lot of different things, medical, finances recommendation on things to buy or not buy. I am paying bills now and I see that most of contact is initiated by him. Am I wrong to think that this would have slowed down a bit once we were married? I was never concerned about her before we married, I am just wondering why the level of contact hasn't changed at all. For others who might ask, yes she is attractive and has a relationship with a man that has been going on for sometime but probably won't turn into marriage cause she doesn't want to marry. Am I just being paranoid? Should I think of her as the big sister he never had?[/quote]

Has she ever said or done anything that you think is inappropriate?  Do you have any indications that their relationship is more than they say?  How does she act towards you?  Seems to me that if there was anything romantic between them, you probably would not even be in the picture.  
 
People here will tell you otherwise, but I have always found it a benefit that DH has a close female friend.  Their mothers are best friends from childhood  DH and our friend were pretty much like brother and sister.  She treats me like she treats him and has worked hard to create a relationship with me. I am never excluded from their discussions and she often texts me independently.  She also had given him advice from a female perspective that probably nipped some of our marriage issues in the bud.

I may be an odd duck but I am not a big fan of regulating your SO's long term platonic friendships.  They have been friends for years (long before you came along it seems) and if you object, he is just going to take the friendship underground.  Try to be a part of it. Then you will know for sure firsthand what it is all about. [/quote]
