Good evening fellow donjuaners , i have a dilema for you , first of all im married ( my problem anyway!!) , i have several like maybe 4-5 good female friends , i myself occasionally hang out with each of them on once a week or every 2 weeks , we go to concerts , movies , go dancing etc my wife does not do half this stuff with me so i resort to friends , most of my female friends are either married or single my wife thinks its weird for me to hang out with them , all of these ladies trust me 100% and know im married so i want to know if im doing bad thing , by the way my wife does not go out at all with male or female friends she is a couch potato and makes me feel guilty on all of this , its nice having friends male or female and all of my female friends like my company to hang with let me know your take on this

I think you can. I have a good female friend, I used to like her and still do to a small extent, but I've realized that if I ever had her I wouldn't want her. It's just the chase that has me confused. So it's completely platonic.

Bad thing? What?

Hanging out with people you like in a completely platonic matter is a bad thing? :confused:

If your wife is having problems trusting you with your OWN friends...I mean, what? Just because they are women you should stop hanging out with them? That's crazy. If she's jealous, then there's something that she needs to work through. She should trust you 100% and you should trust yourself 100% if you're married.

That's just my own, uninformed, unexperienced view. But to me, it seems like common sense.

Well, if your wife intentionally makes you feel guilty and wants you to feel guilty, then you've got a serious problem on your hands. This guilt trip thing is a form of control which you should not give in to unless you are willing to let go of those specific freedoms you have and you will be happy about it. Seldom will anyone be truly happy by giving up their freedom.

So, best bet is to talk to her and work things out with her if this is indeed the case. She has to know that a marriage does not require any one party to cut their social life away. Both parties have to understand that any demands they make, any control they exert, and any freedom they want to take away may have the dire consequences of starting an irreversible process towards an unhappy and doomed relationship.

Man ive kind of been forced into the situation to become friends with a girl. Its just some girl ive ended up bumping into back from school but shes married, so nothings going to happen between us.

We used to both like eachother back in school but it doesnt matter anymore. Plus shes arabian and if i tried anything.... fuk knows what will happen to me. Ill probably end up getting beheaded live on the internet.

Anyway its kind of cool having a girl friend though. Good social proof and plus its kind of different to having a guy buddy. Its cool flirting with a girl for fun sometimes. Just joking and teasing her about for a joke. You cant really do that with your guy buds.

i new this chick once, she was way taller then me (and had an extra few pounds) so I would not date her (even if I had the chance) However, we just clicked. We got along awsome. Even tho I really liked her a lot (as a friend) there was no sexual spart between us....

so my answer: On rare ocasions, It is.

You have to ask your self: Do I really wana Fvck this chick if she trew her self at me... if the answer is yes, then you probably shouldn t heng out with her.......(unless you wana traid in your wife)

No!

People of the opposite sex that are "just" friends are friends because they are going to have sex, have had sex, or thinking about having sex with one another ;) Wanna be my friend?
