Do you keep your opposite gender friendships even after your marriage??

I am married to a wonderfull man and I have male friends. My husband knows I am devoted to him and that I dont want any one but him. He is fine with my male friends. Every one knows where everyone stands and none of us over step boundaries.

I have a couple of male friends I have had since before I was Married that I still keep in touch with from time to time. I have also allowed my husband to know who these people are, and given him a chance to meet them, and such as well. I feel being Open and Honest in a Marriage is the best way to go, to avoid any issues down the road later.

for me, i need to make sure my partner is OK about it before it causes too much trouble and might get my marriage into even bigger trouble. I just hope my partner is more open minded about it.

Yes I have alot of male friends, my husband doesnt mind at all, after all they're only friends, its not like we're all sneaking around doing what we shouldnt, these guys are friends, people I grew up with or people my husband and I have both met over the years and became good friends...

I'm not married yet, but my fiance understands that I get along better with guys than I do with girls. Many of my good male friends are our mutual friends, so I'm sure he won't mind if I am still friends with them. I think that as long as there is trust and honesty in a relationship, it doesn't really matter which gender your friends are.

I think it's ok to continue those relationships with the opposite gender only if your spouse or S/O thinks so. I would only want to keep friends that my wife is ok with. Otherwise you jepordize your marraige and I can't take my friend over my wife. And why would I want a friend who my wife hates. That would be terrible!! I try to get approval of some sort from my wife because what goes around.....

I would until my husband gets jealous or something. I don't think there is anything wrong with it unless it gets too far somehow.

I love all my friends and I wouldn't drop any. My husband also have his and it would be impossible to be happy with each other if we had to drop someone only because the other wants it. It wouldn't be a trustfull relationship. I know my husband don't like very much one of my friends (and it's a female one) and the only thing he does is not going with me when I'm going to meet her. I think it's fair enough.

I don't think it's difficult for me. As I am a single-minded and I'm very faithful to my husband. So I won't even have a thought to betray him. I have no reason to do so, too. Therefore, I can treat other men as friends only. My husband knows them too and I appreciate he trusts me. It's not wrong to have a friendship with other male friends.

I have one in particular friendship with the mother of my Godchild. We sort of hung out when the father decided he did not want to be in the families life in the beginning or at least until he could get his act together. The father is a good man and he is extremely intelligent; he just needs to find out what and who is priorities are. My wife knows this woman and she has stated that she was not really sure how she felt about her. I do not think she likes her. I let her know that I have been speaking with her on occasion but it is conversation based. I have not seen this woman in nearly 7 years.

Yes. If they're my friends and I care about them, then it doesn't matter who I marry... they're still my friends. And if my significant other can't deal with that, then perhaps he shouldn't be my significant other.

well it's not bad to have friends who is opposite gender. i am married, and i told my husband who is my friends are.. it's fine to keep them as friends as long as our husband/wife didn't see any bad moves.. friends are friends and nothing else...

marriage seems a lifetime away. but i think i'll keep my friendships as long as my future husband wouldn't mind.

quite a hard quastion to ask but i try:) i would have stayed friends if we just lost feelings for eachother or one of the partners did , but if she played me or acted like a real "b**ch i would not keep contact with here."sorry for language"..and if children were involved in the pichtures it^s not about you anymore , then you have a responsibility to make the best of the situation and not hurting your kids!.

I don't have problem also, my best of friend in my life is a male ( we've been friends for 18 yrs already )...and a when i was in college, most friends that i'm comfortable to hang out with are male. So for me no problem at all
