[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.  Why take the risk of becoming that person?  If protecting and developing your marriage is not your top priority, then you just aren’t ready for a monogamous relationship.[/quote]

This is not how normal people behave or interact. Like most people, you have a really distorted sense of risk assessment.[/quote]

Considering the 50% divorce rate and the rising number of marriages impacted by adultery, maybe the distortion lives in the mindset that you are different.   I am not saying you can’t be friends, but you are playing with fire when your spouse is excluded from the friendship.[/quote]
