[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has several good friends who happen to be women.  I've met most of them, and they are cool people that I enjoy hanging out with.  I'm not remotely threatened by them.  I would worry if there was a new "friend" who he didn't introduce me to, or a friend that he never included me in plans with, but long-standing friends that I know and spend time with?  No problem.

I agree with the PP who said that no one can fulfill 100 percent of another person's needs 100 percent of the time.  My husband's gift for deep, long-lasting friendships is one of the things that attracted me to him--why would I want him to give those up?  [/quote]

Totally and completely agree with this.

Actually this all reminds me of a funny thing that happened, and I guess shows just how trusting some people can be.  My oldest friends (friends since elementary school) met her husband when we were all in late 20s.  He's an awesome guy, very cute, and because me and friend have always been very very close, I got to know him super well.  I lived in a suburb of a big city then, and they had a place right in city and they (as my friend had since high school) gave me a key to their place and I was welcome on the couch whenever I had a late night (I always called).  So one long weekend friend was away on a trip but she'd already told me I could spend weekend at their place, even though her DH was home.  We had dinner and ran errands one day, and hung out with other mutal friends another day but arrived at their place together.  The landlady owned a store on the 1st floor of their building, and when my friend came home she pulled her in the store and said "How do you deal with it??? I'm so disgusted!  Right under your nose, in your OWN HOUSE!!!"  Friend had no idea what she was talking about at first, but had a good laugh (which we all did).  I'd be lying if I didn't admit that he's hot and there were some minor vibes on occasion, but there was NEVER any idea that anything would actually happen or that we were seriously interested in each other.  And most of the time he was like a brother to me.  We never ever discussed any mutual attraction, always kept things on the up and up.

Anyway, we're all still close, my DH and I and kids have stayed with them and their kids, vice verse, it's all good.  :)[/quote]
