I am married and i have male friends undecided tongue

Nobody said all our friends have to be same sex.

It isn't about having male friends; it's about getting too close to them

Don't mind these guys. I don't know what they think a friend is.

I think it is this present set of younger people that cannot see past women being sex items/objects. So they cannot understand that a woman can actually relate with male folks without sleeping with them.

I understand you perfectly. I have always had more male friends than ladies and the only one i ever slept with was the one i got married to. smiley












Their brains is all wired up on sex! Even when all she sees just a brother, in him.
Generation of men we have springing up these days is so wacked up on fucking just anyone who smiles at them.. What a shame.
My dear, leave them to their delirious thoughts.. No use.

Wisdom they say is profitable to direct. But it amazes me how we disregard wisdom in matters like this just to satisfy our flesh desires. Keep a distance to avoid temptations and eventually 'stories that touch'.
Same goes for Married men keeping having a close friendship with a female friend. It threatens the peace and joy of a marriage.

I have noticed some females on this thread trying to twist this topic. The topic is about keeping opposite sex as close/best friends. Majority of them can't agree that a married woman or engaged lady should refrain from close contact with besties.

Examples of close contacts are

Going out to dinner
Meeting him/her in a private place
Discussing ur relationship
Calling in the night when you should be discussing with your husband or wife.

There is no harm is having opposite sex as friend solely for business and connections, work colleagues, academics, career..

Most of these 'close' friends have ulterior motivates. But they would pretend.

The women arguing here will go crazy the moment they realize their husband have female best friends. Women are known to dish out what they can't take.

No to platonic male or female friends post marriage. One thing will lead to another. One can still have friends but it is much complicated post-marriage than pre-marriage

That's them.. Like I said not every woman is the same.. Be it Boss lady or career lady or even Presido lady.. Not every woman thinks with her toto. U can choose to believe it or not, am least concerned. Cause other women u know cannot control their toto.. Does not mean every woman cannot theirs..

It's like you saying every man out their cannot control their dickk.. And they all loose control and just be fucking house helps or any woman in high place that are close to them..

I know u are still in your twenties, possibly early twenties that's why u have such mindset..

Is sex so irresistible that no human on earth can resist? Because one is close to a opposite sex? Abeggi go and rest with your inconclusive theory.

If that's the case, I should be fucking all the hot guys coming around me seeking for my professional services... Smhhhh.

Whats even in the dick sef.. Dick I enjoy every week from my man.. His own no do me, na to eye another woman's man abi? Because I come this life because of dickk! and sex?
Oh Jeez! grin

Abeg u are still naive. People are making millions and billions of naira,pounds and dollars everyday. You are talking of women not been able to resist a male friend dick! Lol. I pity for this generation.. Suffer never hook una yet.

When suffer hook una, and u start seeing ordinary paper as money. Nobody will tell u to seat up, and place sex at the back burner.

See one above. Fcking another man's babe as a side nigga and talking about trust. When people become so wayward, they begin to have serious trust issues. Because they see themselves in everyone.

I used to have a very close friend I run to whenever I was feeling depressed anytime my then boyfriend hurt me. I would stay in his house and he would console me. Once I even spent the night in his house( a risky journey I took around 9pm. And it was just I & the driver. Got to his house by 11pm)There was no form of physical contact between us. Not even a light kiss. I took my bath, ate & we slept. And in the middle of the night, my boyfriend and I made up & very early in the morning, I left my friend's house to go meet my man.

Get this, the kind of person I am eh, I don't sleep with just anybody even when I'm vulnerable. I have been in vulnerable situations and still lie on the same bed with a guy & nothing will happen. I need emotional connection to go down with a guy and I didn't have that with him.

Again, not every friend should be banged. Sex gets in the way of a lot of things. Some friends are so valuable to me that I would never jeopardise what we have cos of sex. That being said, I can have friends of the opposite sex who are close & dear to my heart that I wouldn't wanna lose. Cos that will likely happen when we have sex.

Finally, I have never had a best friend or kept constant communication with a really close friend when in a relationship(except if the guy is not straightforward with me). I don't like it cos I feel it's a distraction. And also, I wouldn't like my significant other or hubby to have one too so I give out what I expect. So I can't do same when married too.

But everyone doesn't have same opinion with me so whatever works for us all...
aghhh!shocked ..u took quite a risk ooshocked. U know u women are quite vulnerable when u have issues with ur second half and when a guy sees that chance and strikes..u might just fall. He must be a guy who highly respects himself. On the issue of having a very close friend when u married ..yes it can be a distraction. Imagine u with ur husband in the sitting room and he's gisting with u but u paying more attention chatting with ur male friend on whatsap.sometimes such can affect the husband in a negative way. Same with a husband having a very close female friend that he spends more close time with...such marriage is hanging over the cliffhanger.Anyway to each's its own shacheesy.

so true. Nothing wrong in having the opposite sex as a normal friend but when u as married lady has a male friend that u go out to dinner or cinema with, u share intimate moments and problems of ur marriage relationship with him, u have night calls or long night chats with him..sooner or later e go move to the next levelcheesy.

He doesn't just respect himself, he respects me too. Besides, my own vulnerability doesn't make me forget I'm in a relationship. So no matter how vulnerable I am, I still remember that because I don't condone cheating, I shouldn't cheat too(by God's Grace).

Yeah, in a happy marriage, the couples are each other's best friend & closest confidant. Remove "happy" from the marriage & you will see the two parties allow others come into their lives and threaten the existence of the marriage.

It's not that easy.

Besides, ladies can still mislead a married woman. The most important thing is to know the kind of friends you one keeps.

Thats not what they are saying.

A married woman should keep distance. Still be friends with them, but on long distance basis.

This isnt hard except you are a cheat. And they that are still gluing with you after your wedding are trying to wreck your life.

So what happens to her male friends she had when she was single?

Not everyone can handle it but i see nothing wrong with it as long as she knows how to manage it.

Modified!!

Everyone suddenly quoting me and talking ignorantly.

Am i supposed to ignore male colleagues and guys generally because i am married?

FYI, my hubby maintained his female friends and it is not an issue.
You guys just calm down!!!

Don't mind those quoting you. They are yet to understand that relationships are unique. I had only male friends before marriage. Hubby, then fiance use to come meet us where we were and give the guys drinks. They were there at my wedding and child dedication. We still talk but hardly meet. Infact I am still the refree in most of their relationship ish as it was before I married.

Hubby maintained his female friends too and as each of them married off, we will go to their weddings etc.

The problem I see with a lot of folks commenting is that sex to them is too cheap hence they think everyone indulges in it casually.

The sooner folks learn to control their libido the better trust will be established between both parties.
