It's more of what works for you as a couple. My wife has male colleagues who are close friends with her and I don't feel threatened by them; she knows her limit. When our first child was delivered through CS, the first pap she would take was brought by my own close female friend (someone I intended to marry years back) who now happened to be a nurse in the ward, and she was there for my wife till discharge. When there was a problem at the early stage of the pregnancy, it was that same friend of mine that made sure my wife was attended to on time by calling the doctor at the emergency (UCH, Ibadan) and claiming my wife is her inlaw. I don't like to be caged, so I don't cage my wife. We know how far we can go, and we live our lives with God's grace.

It's alright. Afterall in reality, it's all about boundaries. Once the boundaries are well set (in the minds/heart of each of them) there shouldn't be any problem.

Get solar panels, battery and inverter. Then you can stay anywhere where the rent is affordable.

You can expand the solar systems in future if you don't have enough money now

It depends on type of relationship, maybe is church ppl, Evangelist, neighbor, office colleague...


In dis part of the world we are, it drpends on d type orientation and upbringing that your partner is might not support it cos any day that ur partner travels, anytin can happen...


Some Women might not hold it dan to confess to d partner DAT was a mistake, jus like d Augustina and jaden issue


For me, I don't support it except in d office but not to start paying me a visit at home....

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 ur wife to follow her male friend to nightclub and wen she is coming back home around 2pm, you should be the one to open door for her.....................its a free world, marriages is not synonymous to slavery.



..lunatics everywhere.

paulolee:

Hi Nairalanders,

Greetings to everyone in the house. Trust we are all enjoying the weekend. As regards to the above-mentioned subject. What is your take on this? Would u allow your partner have a close friend that is of opposite sex? Briefly give your reason (s) and state what you believe should be the ideal arrangement in a family setting.

I was listening to a program on the radio earlier this morning on Raypower FM before power outage. However, I have to put it on this platform out of curiosity to know how we feel about it. Personally, it is a capital NO for me. But of course, one of the 2 callers that called in before power cut termed it as insecurity as nothing seems to be wrong with the idea. Do you agree?

Mod pls help push this to the front page. Thanks.

PHIPEX:
They can be familiar or close colleagues but not friends. There is a difference between a colleague, acquaintance and a friend. Friendship runs deep and I can't allow that for my wife neither will I keep one.

A friend is someone you can easily run to at your moment of happiness or weakness which are the most vulnerable moments, why should it be an opposite sex whose intentions can change any moment?

Thane:
No

please can people quote this comment with places on the Lagos mainland with steady power supply. I'm planning to relocate but power is important to my decision. Cost is also a factor
Also, if you are looking for a flat to stay in Ibafo, I have an empty room in a 3-bed. flatmate needed 70k

For you to still respond the way you did, it tells you are the one who lacks comprehension skills. That said, I am married, I know my wife, and I am not insecure like you. Learn to look for quality above quantity as that is what
gives you the rest you desire.

Go back for my last paragraph......we know type, even if wife bring concubine, its normal because of trust u guys had built, even when you watch pants and do house chore, it is kind of love and feelings you had developed for her, if she says she don't want to see ur people, ......wife must has says in marriage.

Oga u free ur wife while you entered cage.
