RomanceRe: Married Men Can Still Have Female Best Friend? by Pureas: 12:21am On Mar 14, 2012
In my opinion it is not possible to make an informed comment without knowing a lot of information from and on both sides. For example this is just a fraction of information in one of many cases that I am aware of. Ther are other similiar cases just as interesting. A guy (say Mr. X) who has a wife (say Mrs X) who will only socialise with Mrs. X's own immediate family (i.e. her own sisters and brothers) and has done so for many many years. Mr. X gets on extremely well with Mrs's family but Mrs. X family are scattered around and in any regard do not share many common interests with Mr. X other than Mrs. X and her family. So when they socialise their discussion is commonly focused on Mrs. X and her immediate amd distant family and the family's past life adventures. Mr. X has different interests to Mrs X family and is a quiet person who does not gamble, smoke and rarely drinks. Mr. X is not really a "blokey bloke" who would go camping, fishing, shooting, to the pub, football, races with other males. Mr. X and Mtrs. X do frequently share some common interests such as their own children, travel and fitness. Mr. and Mrs. X are both denoted to their own demanding but completely different professions. Mr. X has meet a person who shares his main life interest away from his work which is art. But this person happens to be a female (Miss A). Miss A has a partner and many female friends with an interest in art. Mrs. X had no proper interest in art. Mr. X and Miss A really only meet to discuss their interest in art. Mr. X enjoys that opportunity and they have short but very public meetings to discuss their shared interest over a coffee from time to time. They also meet with the arty friends of Miss A from time to time and the discussion again focuses on art. Mrs. X is aware of the friendship but is not happy and would rather that Mr X just socialise with males and/or Mrs. X's family. Due to the nature of their community Mr. X is not aware of any males with similar interest art especially with an opportunity to meet. Mrs. X and Mr. X understand but can not accept each others position. Mr X and Mrs X have socialised with Miss A X but Mrs X is not comfortable. Mrs. X wants Mr. X to find a male friend with an interest in art. Mr. X has not been able to to date. For example and art lessons that Mr X goes to there are only females so has tendered no to continue because of Mrs X cocnerns. Mr X feels trapped and frustrated that he can not share his interest in art with anyone. Mrs X is still interested in just socialising with her own family but is trying to cultivate her own interest in art but Mr X considers it to be just a temporary and thin interest but at least a genuine effort by Mrs X. The marriage is under great pressure.
