Of course, my husband is out having beers with one or two of his female friends right now. He invited me, but I have to be up early to run a 10k Turkey Run tomorrow, so I'm sipping a glass of wine or two and going to bed early. I'm just glad he has friends!
Opposite-gender friendships or interaction (non-physical) creates a lot of insecurities in relationships. I'm speaking from experience.
Speaking from experience.huh? Then I pity you! You have a lot of insecurities only if you or your wife is super jealous. I too speak from experience. I have both married and single female friends and my wife could care less. Some of them are also her friends and some of them are not, but she knows none of them are going to run off with me. She doesn't own me, and she knows that. If she didn't trust me explicitly she wouldn't be married to me in the first place. It works both ways, I trust her also. Like I said, I pity you.
No- a married man has but one friend in the world- his wife..other females are associates...when people are in high school they have "friends" - when they are mature adults they have a thing called family...they don't need friends...when a person becomes involved with a friend that is of the opposite sex...it takes away some of the emotion that should be spent on his or her spouse...and that emotional wealth ends up with strangers...You don't share your bank account with strangers nor do you share your heart with them- there is a thing called total loyalty..

No need to pity me. I don't have female friends for reasons other than the insecurity issue. If I ever talk to a woman, it's mostly if I'm looking for directions or at the customer service.
If a man is dealing with an constant insecure girl, it's probably best to let her go. Imagine how dramatic things would turn out if they got married.
I eat lunch with a married guy at work. We are work friends...I don't hang with him outside of work. But we do go on work trips together. He has a wife...he does not talk about his personal life, but he seems pretty content. She has had health issues though...
Of more concern would be if a man is carrying on online, chatting with women.
