Is it so wrong to do?

Is it so wrong to have a best friend to talk to about problems in my marriage? My husband says it is a violation of our privacy, but I need someone to talk to, and I trust my friend with my life, plus she always keeps it between her and me.

you know what? I dont understand wut is it with some people these days.. My friend is going through the same thing w/ her now ex bf.. I know, thats a different ball field, but still same attributes.. It's normal and very common for ppl to talk to other ppl about their marriage. Their is no violation, it's just conversation. everyone needs someone to talk to about their relationship or just in general. You're seeking help and advice! There is nothing wrong with that. but if your hubby is really making a big deal with about it, I would seriously consider sitting down with him and talkin to him bout it.. try to straighten it out. Or if it becomes a bigger issue than it is.. try to find a good marriage counselor to break through to him if u can convince him to go with you. girl talk is talk.. there is nothing wrong with it.

You could talk to a clergyman or a counselor or a therapist instead. Of these, the clergyman would not charge for the time.

I really don't see anything wrong with it. But it is good to talk to your husband first before going to your friend.

Instead of a she , ask him if he preffers a he..

I think it is better to talk to a professional counselor. It is you best bet to get a neutral opinion.

I feel that when a married couple is having problems, it should be kept within the marriage. When you talk to people outside of the marriage they form an opinion of your spouse and may say something way out of line. I've also learned that best friends don't always keep things confidential, even if they say they do.

The best person to talk to about your marital problems is your husband.

I don't think it's wrong at all. My best friend is my cousin and I trust her with my life as well as my deepest secrets. If my husband and I are having problems it's nice having someone to "vent" to before I talk to him. It usually keeps me from getting too upset. Plus there are just times that my hubby (or kids) are driving me nuts and I need to vent to someone so that I don't go off on them for something minor.

You should talk about problems in your marriage to your husband.

No....it's not wrong....your venting with her is better than you bottling up stuff then taking it out him....he needs to realize women communicate differently with each other than with their spouse....if he wants to spend money on minor marriage counseling, so be it, but he has no right to detach you from your friends.

Everyone needs someone to vent to and share their innermost feelings. There is nothing wrong with it.

I don't think it is wrong at all. I don't know what I would do without my girlfriends there when I have problems in my marriage. Sometimes it is good to get someone Else's perspective. to get other ideas and opinions about what to do etc... However, if your husband is not comfortable about you talking to you girlfriends about your marriage, perhaps it is time to talk to HIM about your marriage! after all he should be your best friend right? but then again there are somethings I wouldn't talk to my husband about, but i will with a girlfriend. If worse comes to worse love, go see a councillor... your hubby might feel insecure about you talking to someone that he has to see on a regular basis. Sometimes it is better to have a stranger know your problems than a friend. I wish you luck!

Your most intimate and trusting relationship needs to be with your spouse. I've been married 14 years, and I never take my business out of my house, and my wife doesn't either. We work it out together.

I think that telling your friend about your marital issues violates your trust with your husband and is wrong. A man needs to feel like he's king of his house, and talking to your friends about him knocks him down. It's not cool.

That ain't all she keeps between ya'll. Who's foolin who?

No it's not wrong. We all need our girlfriends.

If you have marriage problems, you should talk to your
husband and try to work them out. If they can't be worked out between you and him, try an independent 3rd party. Your
friend will usually take your side, and not be able to give
an honest opinion.

Everyone needs a good friend that they can trust.
sounds to me like hubby is the one that needs a friend.
what is he afraid of?

no,just don't tell your husband that you talk to her about it.

If you don't vent you will end up filing. Talking to your friend gives you a chance to get your frustrations out when he won't listen or before you confront him so you're not so angry. As long as she keeps it between the two of you I think she is saving your marriage more than she is damaging it. Everyone needs a sounding board.

No I don't think it is wrong to discuss your problems. In fact I think it can actually help a volatile situation sometimes - when you discuss it with others they can give you a different point of view and also once you get stuff of your chest it sounds not as bad as first thought.

I wish I had someone that I could count on like you can count on your best friend. You are fortunate to have her. I think it is ok, but you need to be absolutely certain that she is trustworthy. And also, why does your husband need to know that you are talking to her. I can certainly understand why he would be concerned about it. Hopefully you are not saying things like 'Well dear, I talked to Suzie about this, and she thinks...'. That would be wrong.
So talk to her, and BOTH of you keep it quiet.

No its not wrong at all if u cannot share you feelings with someone that means you bottle them up and then you are likely to take your problems out on other people.
I always talk to my mum about my relationship problems and frankly i dont know what i would do if there was not someone there to listen to me.


nataliya
Your husband is absolutely right.I used to be just like you.I thought that if i open my soul to my friend and i trust that friend,nothing is going to happened-I was wrong.For some reason sooner or later everything was against me.It was very bad experience(and not once).Now I've learned my lesson.I'm married too,and you know what,it's not worth it to risk your relationship with your husband.Please don't make the same mistake.You will understand it later,but i hope that it's not going to be too late.Your husband is your best friend,and all the other ones are for shopping and movies.Believe me.

No! But you know what they say, the more you tell your girlfriend the more she'll try to convince you to leave your man for her to have him.


lightvein2000
It is not wrong. We need some one to share our problems.

I think you should deal with your marital issues only in the home. Best friends are nice & an easy escape when you need an ear but nothing will be solved by airing your "dirty laundry" about your marriage. YOu need to respect your husband's opinion & deal with the issues like an adult.

Does she treat your husband badly after hearing of a fight. Do you tell her things maybe he needs to here himself? I can understand your husbands feelings , but you have a right to confide in someone as long as they can keep things to themselves and not hold thing she hears from you against him. Think if ever time you saw one of his Friends and thought this guy knows everything we have ever fought about. It would probably make it weird to be around his friend. Just let your hubby know that you also tell her good things and admire him to her too. he might like the idea that you are making him seem great sometimes too, and he may mind less.
