How will you react if your husband is close to a single woman or women? The closeness may not mean being sexually involved or what. It may be up to the extent of sharing some personal problems. If you would know that your husband is being close to a single woman, would you immediately think that something is going on between them? How will you react?

Hi dorisday! I don't like the idea of my husband being close to a single woman/women, at all. I mean, if he wants to share personal problems, that's what I'm here for right? That's supposed to be my job as the wife, not any other woman's. And if it's the woman/women who wants to share their personal problems, they should do it with their girlfriends and not with somebody else's husband. Sharing personal problems with a married person is also a very dangerous thing, not to mention indecent. They may not be sexually involved at first but there's always, always, the possibility that it will develop to that. So I wouldn't really like it if my husband gets close to another woman, single or married.

Yeah doris my friend, i think that would not be possible with my wife. That would create insecurities because ever since I knew already what are my wife's characteristics and attitudes. She hates this way. Thanks.. Mobhomeir here...

I would not jump into thinking there is something going on, but I would be very cautious, if they are getting close. You don't want it to develop into something more.

It really depends on the women. If it were a long time friendship from before me I may be okay with it. Is the woman being flirty with him. Despite whether it is just innocent flirting or for real I would not want him to spend time with her. Because nowadays, some woman don't care about others and want to just start trouble and drama. If the time he is spending with her is taking time away from me spending time with him, no matter who it is, that is a problem as well. But it is better to talk to your husband right away and not let the tension and suspicion build up in you until the point that you start arguments with your husband and he doesn't know why.

No..not right away but I must say that it is a dangerous situation. When people become close and start to share personal problems, that usually means that they develop a strong bond. What happens after that is only natural. I wouldn't want my husband to be closer to a stranger than he was to me.
