[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it wrong to often hang out alone, online and in person, with other man/woman when you're in a relationship? Is this fine if you are all long time friends? [/quote]

Only immature and insecure people worry about this. [/quote]

I disagree, it’s not the friendships that are the problem, but hanging out alone invites infidelity.  Infidelity is actually defined as the keeping of secrets and the opportunity to create secrets or change the dynamics of your relationship with the third party is high.  “We were just friends and then out of nowhere something happened” is more likely than most risky activities.  [b]Why take the risk of becoming that person? [/b] If protecting and developing your marriage is not your top priority, then you just aren’t ready for a monogamous relationship.[/quote]

Because the risk can be so low that it's not worth throwing away a friendship because of it?

I work from home now but had an event in my old building where my friend (and the husband of my friend and my husband's friend) works. I was done around lunch, texted him, and we went to lunch. I would be annoyed at my husband (and my friend, his wife) if they thought this wasn't ok. [/quote]

If it works for your marriage and you don’t have to hide anything in the friendship from your spouse, then you may be right.   After all, you might be the exception to the rule.[/quote]
