[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand you, OP.

I watch movies with one of my male friends, exactly as I watch movies with my best (female) friend. I make time to chat with another male friend, just like I do with other female friends.

There can definitely be a slight frisson to male-female friendships, that there isn't in same-gender ones (for us heterosexuals). But my friends and I are very clear that there will be no cheating. This goes for both my husband and myself. He's welcome to socialize with female friends without me and experience that frisson.

14:21 here and agree with this. But you have to be careful with these friend relationships. I have two male friends like this where there's is a bit of, as you put it, "frisson" and it only works because they know/like/respect my DH and would never, ever let it go past this very, very lighthearted, mutual attraction. Ever.

If I ever felt that shifting, I'd probably start avoiding them. There was a time when one of them was in a rough patch with his wife and I was careful to keep my distance during that time because I didn't want him to view me as an "option" in any way. It can be tricky. Fortunately it was short lived and we're all back to hanging out and it works great.[/quote]
