[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me old-fashioned, but I'm in the school of thought that after marraige you don't have close relationships with those of the opposite sex who aren't your spouse. You can be friends, but in the company of your spouses, co-workers, etc. Not trips alone, or even car rides alone for that matter, unless it's an extenuating circumstance. I know I'm the minority in that thinking. There's always a 1% chance that 'nothing sexual' can turn into an attraction, especially if one person is in a fight with their spouse.

I am exactly the same way!! I can only imagine the one time i would be out to lunch or something with a male friend, i would run into my husbands friends and it would be all the gossip. His friends are childish but i will never put myself in the situation. I actually do have male friends but it is never just me and one of them alone. My husband is friends with all my male friends.

Your DH's friends are the problem.  And is your marriage in such trouble that being seen with a man would be a problem?

DH and I don't need babysitters.  If I have a male friend in from out of town for work or something we'll just meet up for dinner if DH is busy or we don't have someone to watch the kids.  I have lunch with friends from college or whatever ALL THE TIME.

DH is friends with my friends, too, and has had dinner with my (female) friends while traveling.  I can't imagine having to constantly deal with the stress of someone thinking I might cheat on him, or worrying that DH is cheating on me when he has dinner with my friends.  That sounds exhausting.[/quote]
