abysirius:I do understand my place in her life at the moment and I know she wouldn't mind breaking it off If I disturbed her. Her friendship has proven to be worth more than sex and I'm ready to respect myself to keep it. |

IamDavid:not like a threat, threat, she said she'd rather call it off if he can't stand her being friends with me. But then, it's all about worth. When you trust your woman and love her too, there are exemptions you'd be willing to make to keep her, especially if it doesn't hurt anybody. |

It never works! Marriage counselors have noted that most infidelity issues begin with "He was my male friend..." Let no man encourage this. Females, same for you. 2 Likes |

GboyegaD: How stopping to having male besties pause ur life ooo You guys should stop hiding under one finger. As you are growing older in life, you will be passing different stages of life, each stage of life must define how you will handle it, provided you want to succeed in that area. ... The type of friends one moves with when one is a teenager must different from wen one is adult, ......the one you closed with wen u are single must be different from wen u married, ( male or no male). ..........I will advice u to allow your wife to follow her male friend to nightclub and wen she is coming back home around 2am, you should be the one to open door for her.....................at least its a free world, marriages is not synonymous to slavery. ..lunatics everywhere. 5 Likes 1 Share |

When it comes to marriage or would-be-marriage relationship, the question of BOUNDARY sets in. Both partners must realise they are no longer 2 but 1 and therefore, the friends of each other's previously collapse to become "our friends". Hence, we say friends of the couple but unfortunately this is no longer the practice as modern individuals now possess individual friends despite being married or engaged which had resulted into EMOTIONAL INFIDELITY (is not only 'dickology + virginalogy' that makes you cheated but when you crave psychological attention towards another). The truth is, FRIENDSHIP is not the problem but BOUNDARIES. Marriage requires BOUNDARIES and when you disbodey this all inthe name of FRIENFSHIP, the resultant effect is suspessions, assumptions leading to fighting, querrels and domestic violence whether the friendship of female-male, male-female, male-male and even female-female. Of course this is so as we now have lesbians and gays despite being married or in courtship. So, having friends despite being married or committed is not the problem, but insincerity of humans. As a married or relationship-committed lady or guy, who do you give your ATTENTION? After work hours, where do go and who are you always with: friends or your partner? Even in the same home, marriages are collapsing because ATTENTION are shifted toward FRIENDS all in the name of SOCIAL MEDIA (Facebook, messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, FaceTime and whatever). Almost everyone has given in to the power of the serpent (remember the old serpent who tricked EVE at the garden of Eden).and you do not just eat the FRUIT immediately, he/she is waiting... If our generation must survive in marriages and relationships, it's time to realise once you married or committed, you no longer individually have friends but family friends and even at that, BOUNDARIES comes in. Truth, do you expect your wife to be taken by her ex to an eatery and old feelings will not rise? You chat and throwing attention day and night outside your relationship/marriage (buy lunch, gifts for ladies as a man or eat lunches, accepts gift as a lady) and you expect no chain reaction? Come on, humans are not woods. Be it as it main, once you are married or in serious courtship, set BOUNDARIES and keep your HEART in your partner. Do not rationalize lust (do not forget "only those who you know can harm you and your destiny). Wisdom, they say profiteth 3 Likes 1 Share |

Can you set limits and boundaries?Can you resist temptations at their slightest appearances if they come?Would your husband or wife approve of such?What kind of man or woman is he or she,that is your friend?Does he or she fear God?What is the tone of your conversation with him or her?How often do you meet?All these must be on your checklist to stay above board? 1 Like |
