[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 2523350, member: 6281"] I think it can work for some. In my past I had several female friends. I met all of them initially to date and it just didn't work so we decided we would be better friends. That being said I had sex with them all before the friendship standard was on and we were cool with that as a past thing. Two of them have married and moved on and I no longer hear from them. That's fine. On of them I still talk to on occasion and my wife knows it and does not care. I trust my wife 100% and she trust me equally and I think that's the key, BUT I make it my job to set a pretty fine boundary that I choose not to cross. Talking to my chick friend once in a while - usually when she's in a crisis and wants my advise - is within the tolerance of my boundary but I would not go sit and have lunch with her unless my wife were there. Would my wife care? No but I will not test that. There is simply too much to loose IF someone were to say the wrong thing or rumors started. Your young and your opinion may change later in life. Mine has, but if it works for you, that shows the level of high trust among you all and as long as that remains high, and you can brush off the nasayers, then kudos to you all. You will look at this differently when you are married, I almost guarantee it because I think your a guy who would show a wife the utmost respect and keeping other females at a safe distance (within boundaries that you both set) is just that. Risking half of what you own over a friend who may or may not be around after the dust settles from the divorce is foolish. Sent from outer space or somewhere from my mobile device [/QUOTE]
