[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well listen OP, [b]the amount of time that a person needs to put one on one into a new relationship to make it a close friendship is significant. If I knew that my husband was spending enough alone time with a new woman to create that kind of a bond I would be worried.[/b]

That said, a work friendship that slowly develops where my DH is transparent (ie, talks openly about the person but not obsessively) and where I am not excluded (ie, introduces me happily at events where I run into them and friends me on facebook) wouldn't bother me.

[b]If that led to suddenly my DH going to saturday matinees with a woman alone without me? Well then I'd be a little concerned. [/b]

I mean basically you know it when you see it. [/quote]

I also think at the end of the day there will be people that feel it's okay for husband to go to a Saturday matinee alone with a new single female friend he met post marriage.  Although I don't get it, as long as you and your spouse are on the same page, that's all that matters.

I would also say there is no allow of not allow, I'm not going to say to DH he is not allowed to make a new single female friend.  However, I am a believer in you treat other people how you want to be treated so I may ask questions but that is to get the lay of the land.  After I see okay, he sees xyz as acceptable, that means I can do the same thing. I'm certainly not going to sit back at home with the kids while he is out on the town and constantly texting new single female friends.  He would be home with the kids on certain nights as I get back into salsa dancing and find a dance partner for starts. I make a choice to text my husband funny things, try to spend most of what little free time we have at the same time with him, turn to him first when something is bothering me at work or in general.  I think he appreciates it and does the same for me. [/quote]
