It's kinda sad that so many of you cannot take my word that this is a PLATONIC FRIENDSHIP and that my husband is just INSECURE. I knew my friend long before I knew my husband and he always confided in me back then, so what's the difference?? Just because I'm married I have to only be friends with other girls. What is this, Saudi Arabia? My husband has met my friend and even had him on his facebook until he childishly decided to delete my friend for no reason.

Now tell me who is in the wrong??! I have never had romantic feelings towards my friend and I actually have virtually no friends at all as it is. I also don't get along too well with other girls.

You're not here for anyone's opinion or advice. You just want someone to agree w/ you. You find two that agree it's ok to call your husband an insecure jerk who needs help, and you're happy.

As a woman with male friends herself I have to honestly say, you are playing with fire and must not value your marriage much.

There is a right way and a wrong way to have friends of the opposite sex once you are married.

You are going about it all wrong.

Your HUSBAND is your first priority and right now he is hurt. Don't you get that?

If you don't open your eyes and change your little girl attitude you will pass the point of no return and ruin your marriage completely.

I'm not playing with anything. This is just a guy friend I knew long before I knew my husband. Am I really required to give that very casual and mostly email based friendship up, just because my husband is insecure about not being creative and because apparently, people here think that once you get married, you can't talk to other men??

It's a slippery slope. If you don't stop it, your husband your husband will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that you are cheating. Do you want this guy to ruin your marriage?

Yep.

What's the difference? You're married now and made a commitment to your husband. He should be the one you confide in.

Does it matter to you who's in the wrong? You could take a poll on who thinks he's right or wrong. You could have 20 agreeing w/ him, but all you need is one person to agree w/ you to feel you're in the right. It's not a matter of insecure if he knows your have other male friends. This friend resurfaced from years ago and took up right where it left off. Some men aren't comfortable w/ their woman confiding personal information to another male. My husbands feelings would come first.

Did I not say I myself as a married woman have male friends???

There is a right way to go about that and a wrong way, and honey you are on the wrong track.

SHAME on you for being so disloyal to your husband as to come here and publically humiliate him this way. Even if he never finds this forum you have shown your true colors and I give this marriage a snowballs chance in hell of surviving.

But I'm guessing you've got one foot out the door already and are only truly seeking to justify your decision to leave.

OMG I didn't confide in my friend..he confided in me and told me that he came close to killing himself after his ex screwed him over and landed him in court. My husband didn't seem to care or want to talk about it and it caused tension. Like I said, this guy is basically a little brother to me. I love my husband.
