[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoy how on DCUM women will carry on about how unfair it is that their husbands object to them maintaining friendships with old boyfriends (poor guys, so jealous and insecure with their masculinity that they cannot accept a progressed relationship).  But let a man be friendly with a woman and oh boy, it is only because he wants to sleep with her.  What a double standard.[/quote]

I don't know if it is a double standard but I think the married woman often has more to lose if the husband finds out.  I can see the husband wanting a divorce or having a revenge affair quicker than a woman would if the situation was reversed.   I also think the odds of the married guy ending up with the AP long term and marrying her are higher than the woman marrying her AP and it lasting long term.  Never say never, but odds are not in the favor for a woman that cheats and gets caught.

That said, I WOULD still question if one of my married female friends with kids was always texting and talking to a single hot attractive guy.  I would caution them to be careful and not blow up their marriage.  It's putting yourself in a situation you don't need to be in.  While I think forbidding a grown adult is not a path you want to take, if my friend's husband thought her guy friend was trying to get with her and this wasn't a situation where they said this about every guy OR she was neglecting her relationship with her husband spending lots of free time with the single friend and her husband mentioned feeling like they weren't spending enough time together ...I think it's important to not ignore it.  Not necessarily drop your friend, but have a level of awareness about the interactions.
