| Me and hubby |
We are both grown and I tell my husband that I am going to keep it one hundred with him at all times. So, after he told me about the conversation he and his friend had, I told him that I was not sure how I felt about him arguing with another woman. By right, the only one he should have heated discussions with is me.
But, is that fair to say, that's what friends do, right? Sometimes, you disagree and that can cause tension, whether male or female. So is it a trust thing? No, I trust my husband. Am I insecure? If I'm brutally honest, yes, there are times when I am insecure, but I quickly remind myself that I'm fabulous and I get over it.
I was once told, by a male friend of mine by the way, that you can't put two attractive people together for too long before those "feelings" start creeping up. So for that reason, we do not go out to eat alone nor am I invited to his house. These are his rules, and I can respect him for his honesty. We all know that so called friend who is just waiting around for your man/ woman to mess up so that they can swoop up from behind and pick up the broken pieces. It is that "friend" who gives this male/female friendship a bad name.
As with any relationship you have with someone outside of your marriage, I think you have to set boundaries and communicate with your spouse what you are comfortable with. Can they talk on the phone, text, be Facebook friends, hang out, go to each other's family events? These are things you have to be really specific with to save yourself from an argument later.
So can your spouse have friends of the opposite sex? What are some of the rules or boundaries that you both have placed?
Forever loving my B.A.D.D. Kids (and my husband),
