If you meet someone of the opposite sex and develop a friendship is one thing. If you are married and actively seeking friendships from members of the opposite sex, thats not a good thing.

Can your friendship can take place at each other's homes, sitting there talking at the dining room table while the spouses are under the roof doing their thing? If yes, then its fine. If there is any reason you can't do this, I'd say the friendship is a bad idea.

I agree. It is not a good idea. Us men will eventualy want sex or believe in our heads that the woman wants a physical relationship.

I can and do.... Couple years back a femake Kiwi wanted to ride the USA. I talked with my wife and set it up. The womans bike was delayed better than 3 weeks so I took time to rise the Kiwi on my bike as pillion, and toured NH and Maine, once an over night sharing the same rental cottage on the shore.

Recently a old GF of mine has returned to my flock as it were. She is married, and my wife has 0 problems with it.

On the other hand my wife and I are tight. We don't have issues, with old friends from a past, or with meeting new ones, no matter which gender they are. Pretty much my wife and I have no issues at all.

To me she knows she comes first... That seems to be all she needs to know.

My wife does what women do, this is the old fashiond family unit of a couple. She knows she can't do what I do well and that I can't do what she does well and we don't try to mix it up.

If we did she would die eatting what I cook, and the vehicals would be as bad if she got her fingers all grimey. Some things we do equally well, and will share in that, other things we share are helping out where we can.

I think it would be very unusual for either a married man or woman not to have a friend of the opposite sex who is also married. This often happens at work or any place where people get to know each other. I'm not married myself but I sure have alot of women friends who are. Most of them are women who I've worked with and I've also become friends with the husbands of several of them. Friendships are normal and a healthy part of a social life. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter whether people are married or not in order for them to be friends.
