Are Married Women Are Allowed To Have Male Friends? by olab059(m): 5:22pm On May 03, 2017
I am going to state two instances that made me ask this question.

1. I had a this girl I liked when I was in school. We were in the same department but she was a year my junior. I asked her out, but she had a boyfriend, so we just remained friends. We were friends till I graduated, and after school, we kinda lost touch. One day, I remembered her number and called her after several years. She was very excited to hear from me and asked if we could meet at the mall. I got there, and she was with her whole family, and she introduced me to her mom. So, we wondered off, aimlessly, just talking, and catching up on old times. She told me she was married, but her husband was in another town. Anyway, when we were leaving the mall, her whole family (brothers, cousin, and mom) were a few feet behind us, and while we were walking, she wrapped her arm around mine. I found that really really odd.

2. Second situation. I got introduced to this lovely girl back in 2014, and we became close really fast. The chemistry was awesome. Then I found out she was getting married in a couple of weeks. My heart was broken, so I kinda stopped calling her. But she didn't stop calling, and even after getting married, we still used to chat once in a while. One day, she invited me for her birthday party at her house. I asked her how that would be possible. She said they would be too many people in the house for anyone to ask who I was. I sensed she really loved her husband, but she liked me nevertheless. In an innocent way though.

I just have been thinking. Is it allowed for a married woman to have male friends?

For some.but.for me its a no because of those moment when things might not be Rossy between us, I want to be the only crying arm. This helps settle differences in no time. Workmates relationship at the office level fine though and same applies to me.

Hmm! If I may ask, why do you say so?

Ah wetin street dey talk sef, BAD BELLE IS ALLOWED...

How can you be asking this kind of question?
Will you allow your wife to have such a close relationship with your own male friends talkless of her own male friends?

Yes, everything looks innocent at first (on the surface) but no relationship that close that will be stagnant, it will either get sour to the benefit of the marriage or get sweeter to the detriment of the marriage.

And again kasala fit show face anytime anyhow. When kasala come shey you wan begin dey do mental count of all those who you/she calls 'male friends', con dey give yourself hypertension?

Looking at it truthfully, those friends can be used as instruments by satan to cause a shaky marriage, at worse a divorce, do you want that?


Do you think all those celebrities who marry and divorce had it in mind before, it is because of one those so called close friends or family friends (mostly males and some females) 'peer pressurized' them!

Oga you better secure your marriage and don't be the cause of broken homes

Depends on the state of the marriage. Some friendships cause a lot of insecurities in marriages if that union is already fragile. So this is what I say if a woman is fine with her husband having female friends then she can argue her point. If this is something she is not prepared to consider then the answer is no .

Okay. What if your wife is always quiet but lights up and becomes very active and happy when a friend of yours is around, and even some times asks you when he is coming next, how would you react?
