[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't allow new single friends of the opposite sex. I can honestly say it's for the best even on my part. Our marriage has gone through some tough times in the past where I could have easily slipped. I'd rather not play with temptation. [/quote]
What the hell kind of marriages are you people in??????[/quote]

DH here and there is no "allowed to" or "not allowed to" in my marriage.  I dealt with this kind of insecure paranoia in my first marriage - and it was incredibly corrosive.  Honestly, by the end, I felt like I might as well cheat because I was treated as if I were constantly cheating anyway.  It was probably the single biggest thing that ate away at my marriage (or rather: my feelings for my ex-wife).  Apparently I was drawn to this dynamic, because the next two LTRs I got into were with women like this.  I had several female friends - some gay, some not - when I met now-DW, and I made it clear that I was not going to curtail my activity in any way.

We have a child now and we mostly have married friends (I had a number of married friends, some with children, some without prior to marriage, as did my wife), so when we meet new people, they tend to be people in the same phase of life such that we have that in common, but there are (and will not be) any "rules".  That's just nuts.  I feel bad for your controlled spouse.[/quote]
