good question
Quote From: kbm804Well, Dr. Phil's intuition turned out to be right as far as Jessica having an affair with her male "friend", but I'm wondering about how adament he was (before the affair came out) that a married woman being friends with a man is inappropriate--is it? This is something that I've discussed with my friends (male and female), and no one seems to have a good answer. Does being married mean you can't have opposite sex friends at all? Or only friends that your spouse knows or is also friends with? What if you are friends with someone at work or somewhere where your spouse doesn't get a chance to know the people?
So what is the rule for this opposite sex friendship thing when you're married? Does anybody know?! That is really a good question. I do not know the answer myself. I am not married but living with my common-law for 2 years now. I know so many marriages where the husband and wife have opposite-sex friends, and it never seems to be a problem. I guess it depends on how close they are, if they are always alone, and how often they are together. That is what I would go by anyway. As for me, I have many different friends, male and female, but I do admit that I actually am not super close to any men, going out with them or getting together alone, and I know if my man did that, I would feel strange, but, that is just my relationship, every relationship is different I suppose.
