[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the one that started the other thread and I once had a very close friendship with him over many years, a very difficult training program and life events for myself. At that time it was not inappropriate for either of us (aka in between relationships or not in serious relationships). Since then it's a once a year or less, actually more often this year that we see each other if we happen to be in each others towns. Never text, rarely speak so not a frequent friend but still means a lot to me because it's the only friend from that time in my life. I respect boundaries and marriages. I don't ask about their relationship. We mostly talk about our work / field and catch up on family and friend news. Not inappropriate in my opinion.[/quote]

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer back in the 80/90s - pre-Internet/cell phone.  It was tough and our trainers from the start indicated we needed to develop a support system to help us get through the tough times. My friends, men and women, from that time are life-long friends even if we don't speak to each other on a regular basis.  In this group of friends, I've not encountered jealous spouses - and would be more sorry on my friend's behalf than my own if there were.  My DH has no problems with me meeting up with my male RPCV friends when I'm traveling or when they travel to this area.  He's happy to meet them but feels like he's the spouse at a class reunion.
