megareal: This has negate all your argument. Meaning you maintain your distance. Some married women going on a date with besties is what we are discussing here... Your husband is your male bestie. Yeah keep your existing friends..but you got to put boundaries... |

megareal: Exactly! Sex is cheap to them and they can just indulge in it without much thought. My husband was having this same discussion on a group yesterday and had to ask me if i have ever thought he has anything to do with his female friends. For one of them, he even helped drive her and her hubby outside lag for their wedding and they still keep in touch. She also came for hers. Infact i tease her to feed him when he visits them. I call her my boo's boo It is about understanding and creating boundaries. As long as there is trust, it's fine. If my hubby were to be the womanizing type, i would raise an eyebrow. We dont hold each other back from our friends as long as we draw the line. |

megareal: So you can go out on dinner with them? Go clubbing with them? I have even heard a married woman saying "I just went on a date with him...Jezzz...its just a date" Lolz. |

hotwax: Leave that post. My phone was acting up, couldn't type properly and didn't even know the ish submitted. Will delete it now. Now to your question, I hardly went on dates even when I was single. Your use of that word in this context is wrong because dates are for people who want to be in a relationship. Probably you would use outing. I meet my friends when they need my help or my input on things. And can never stay away from any events concerning them. I don't know about married women who still club with guys other than their husbands. But that is wrong and is inviting trouble except the husband is included in the outing. My point of view judging from most of the comments here is that no body should do away with good friends because they are married. If your friends are good, you don't even need to set boundaries as they will respect your marriage. Obviously, you can't hangout out like you used to do or discuss you partner anymore with them, but you shouldn't form unavailable and cut links because of marriage. I would argue more but I don't have the time biko. |
