[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no problems with SAHDs, but I'm not doing any one on one meet ups in private or in public. As a rule, I don't hang out alone with any male other than my dad and husband. [/quote]

Well, one would assume there would be children present, right? But I agree, one-on-one meetups (sans children) would be strange. With kids, not so much.

Your "rule" makes you sound like you're from a culture where women are viewed as men's property, btw.

Even with kids it's weird. We just have an agreement to no hang out alone with members of the opposite sex if it can be avoided. It has nothing to do with being "property" (not that I really care if it sounds that way), it's just an easy way to be accountable. We don't have any reason to not trust each other, but no one is above making a stupid mistake. [/quote]

:shock:

i really do find this shocking.  i can't imagine a world in which i did not have male friends or in which DH did not have female friends.  and i've never had a moments thought that either of us would have a "stupid mistake" of that sort.  i suppose my close male friends are mostly themselves married - boundaries have been set for years and years.  it wouldn't occur to any of us . . .

different strokes for different folks, i guess, but i can't help but feel that you're missing out . . . both on friendships and on real trust with your DH[/quote]
