Should A Single Lady Be Friends With A Married Man? by Kennedyli: 10:11am On Aug 16, 2022 |
I have a female friend who's single. She's a good person, but I noticed an unusual closeness with this man, who happened to be married. She says the man was just a friend from church and they had nothing going on. She said the wife was suspicious at first; but the husband explained to her and now they are fine. However, I noticed that they call each other everyday; which was okay. I warned her to stop allowing the man call her, especially at night. Which she promised to work on. I was trying to check something on her phone, when I noticed that not only was the man just calling her. She calls him close to midnight, sometimes, repeatedly until he picks. My question is, can or should a lady have such relationship with a married man. Kind of a married man bestie who she go places with and calls in midnight? 18 Likes 5 Shares |

You are just worrying yourself over two grown adult that are very aware of what they are doing. Or you want them to tell you the truth where this is going? God I kneel down dey beg, don’t let me reduce myself to be calling a single lady at night when I’m married. I mean I can marry two wives and a third one when the first two are getting old, instead of hiding to call at night. OP, just leave that your friend. Either She successfully breaks the man’s home or the man successfully use his hand to break his home, or the man uses his senses to “hit and run” and break her heart. The latter is even better, las las you will give her your shoulder to cry on and continue from where the man stopped. 199 Likes 14 Shares |

Not ideal. Speaking from experience. I'll share mine in a bit to buttress my point. I was once close to a married man and this was because I was working with him. This one was even a pastor. So ministry work brought us together. I was a Sunday school teacher, and assistant head choir, assisting the wife in that department too. So, at the time, I was more like his assistant because the assistant ( a guy) was not always around. Since I was always around and available, he took to me and was confiding in me. Now, the wife was aware that we were close and didn't express any form of disapproval because she trusted us together. He drops me home most times and we would sit in his car and talk for hours before he'll start heading home and that is after I give him body language that I want to go inside my house. Initially we used to discuss generally about life and what goes on in the ministry but after a while, he started discussing family issues with me to which I wasn't comfortable about. He would complain about how the wife is not supporting him in the ministry the way I do. And how he's tired of her stubbornness and all. In my mind, I'll be like why is he telling me all these. The day I knew I had to draw the line was the day he told me the wife had been denying him of sex for a very long time and all that. I was somehow embarrassed cos I never expected him to disclose that part of his life to me as a pastor and someone I respect so much. Another time, we were talking and he said, sister, see let me tell you, if anything happens to my wife now ( he now said God forbid, God forbid) and I have oyinbo lady like you that is fresh by my side, ah, what do you think will happen? I'll just... you know, its easy, we'll just"... And I was like Huh... Pastor!!!... I now laughed to cover it up and he was like.. " nooo.. it will just happen. That was when I knew it was time to cut my closeness with him. This one he's already imagining death for his wife. Hm. So, all I'm saying is, men cannot be trusted with being just friends with a lady. One day the devil will minister to him to try his luck. Married women, don't let your husband tell you, "she's just a friend", trust me, nothing. Ha! Tell him right away, you can't be friends with her o.

There's nothing preventing the guy from taking another wife as long he can take care of them. Yes, she's most likely a side chick that will likely get promoted to wife status. 4 Likes |

Re: Should A Single Lady Be Friends With A Married Man? by Kennedyli: 11:41am On Aug 17, 2022 |
Richy4:Would your wife be happy if your childhood friend calls you every day, even by 11pm? They live together in the same neighborhood, goes to the same church. After church, the man waits for my friend so they can go hom together, while the wife leaves with the kids according to her. - They go on dates, just for fun according to her. - She goes to meet him at his shop. - The man spend most of his Sundays at her place. -- He has asked her out. But she said she refused. The bottom line is that she says they are not dating and she isn't affecting their marriage in anyway. That's my grouse with the whole thing. Because I think she has made herself an alternative to the man's wife. I asked her to at least end the late night calls, and she agreed to do that. But I just found out that she called him 6 times around past 11pm until he picked up. The reason I made this post is because I'm not comfortable being friends with her keeping such kind of relationship. I know what most women pass through in their marriage. She's in her 30s and is looking for someone to settle down with. But won't respect another person marriage. I just wanted to know if I would be overreacting if I end our friendship. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Kennedyli: I am glad it was not affecting your friend's marriage.. Before your friend and the husband started, the husband of your friend may have explained the circumstances surrounding their friendship.. and your friend may have accepted... That's why she did not see her as a threat whatsoever in their relationship... But the man should know when to draw the line though.. especially the Sunday aspect of the whole thing...That the wife was not saying anything does not mean they should over stretch her patience... Though I don't understand your last highlighted statement... do you mean ending their relationship on your friend's behalf or you were asking should such situation happens to you, is it ok to end it as a wife? 1 Like |

Kennedyli:Ohh!!!! Okay!!! That's even easier.. Have you asked her what she truly wanted?...Was it to get on the wife's nerves or what?.. Please ask if someone does that to her when she gets married if she will be happy with it?...make her stop or a present SS3 student is gearing up somewhere to do that to her prospective husband and more some day .. 1 Like |

A man can NEVER be friends with a lady he doesn't want to screw. The exception is if he doesn't find her attractive at all. The only gals I have been true friends with are the ones I don't desire. The other pretty "friends", if they say "come and do" I am so diving into that bush, I swear-to-God, so help me God. 17 Likes 2 Shares |
