[quote=Anonymous]It’s okay to have friends of the opposite sex if you’re married, but there are nuances.

Generally those friendships should have preceded the marriage. Ideally they were always platonic and never crossed a romantic line when both parties were single. And they maintain appropriate boundaries when both parties are married.

Some of my best friends were men when I was in my twenties. I had one friend in particular who was very much a best friend to me. When we both got into serious relationships and the. Marriages, we started including our significant others when we hung out, and also didn’t hang out alone as much. Our significant others have little in common so hanging out together felt kind of awkward. Dh would be okay if my friend and I hung out alone within reason, but out of respect for him, I mostly stopped. So now we text- not every day or even every week, sometimes it’ll be a month or more, but we still have a close friendship and when we do talk, it’s not superficial.

If op thinks her husbands friend may be crossing a line, she should tell him. These situations aren’t black and white and unless op is super uncomfortable with her dh having any non male friends at any level, he should take her feelings into account. [/quote]
