Sure they can but just remember, when people get into affairs, it ALWAYS starts off as "Were just friends!".....

Yes, a married man can have female friends. It is when the friendships get romantic that problems start

Of course he can have female friends - so long as they are just friends and nothing more. And a married man should introduce his female friends to his wife so there's no secrecy involved. That way the wife won't feel left out or insecure. Works both ways with married women and male friends.

I thought so,,but I'm not open enough my husband had a female friend,and he was always wanting to call her,go fishing with her...go to a ballgame with her...I stopped it..it was coming between us...also I had a guy friend,and his wife stopped it...so I don't think you can cause the wife gets jealous,she may say she's not...but she does..and sometimes it gets more than friendly...you know?

It depends on the man - simple as that.

IF a married man can have female friends then a married women can too! I wouldn't suggest this... If you are allowed that standard it shouldn't be a double standard and if you can handle your woman having the same then kudos to you both. You have to put yourself in your mates shoes and ask yourself this question...? In reality we should be treating others as we want to be treated.

You should only be friends with women you are comfortable being around with your wife. If having your wife around them makes you uncomfortable you should probably not be friends with them. Also if they make your wife uncomfortable it might not be the best idea you ever had. I don't think it is "wrong" either way but not necessarily wise.

i dont see why not? if ur askin because ur wife obviously doesnt think so, maybe shes been hurt in the past so has trust issues?! dont stop seeing ur friends because of her though, or the jealosuy will do ur head in for the rest of your marraige!!

yes.i have.

Yes, as long as he keeps them in a professional type atmosphere. Lunches in groups, invite them over to the house when spouse is around, go out with them in groups(inc. spouse). However, if you stay alone with them after a reasonable length of time,flirting and cheating become possibilities. So, the choice is yours. Good luck!

Yes a married man can have female 'friends' as long as they remain 'friends'!

My husband has female friends, but I'm not the jealous type, and I trust him absolutely to be faithful. Not all females feel like this, and you need to discuss this with your partner. If you are seeing females covertly, then you are cheating on her, and that's not a good basis for trust within marriage.

PS how do you feel about her having male friends?


Lydia
No, not a good idea. Even if just mates. Just the suggestion of possible impropriety is enough.

Yes, of course they can

Of course men can BUT if your in a relationship/married the woman in your life does feel threatened,been there myself!Maybe the friends have nicer bums,are thinner,have blonde hair that sort a thing can feel threatening to your partner,but yes have female friends.


I tell it like it is
As long as your wife is going along for time spent with your female friends. It`s all about trust . Question the other way, Can your wife have male friends and be alone with them?

Well, that's nothing that your wife should be angry about (but I don't know your wife, so I can't say that for sure). If you mean female "friends" and not girlfriends (as in the type you date), as long as you keep it legit, I don't think she'd have any issues with it. But, again, this depends on the Woman. From what I've seen, married women can be very fickle at times. If you're not married, then I assume you're asking because you soon will be, so I'll say this. Be faithful and prosper, friend.

yes-a married woman can also have male friends


celticdragon
yes . most of my friend are female and my wife thinks it great. hell my cousin best man was a girl and his wife is best friend. with her to so yes you can have female friends


Mel
Of course you can, and you should. It's what you do with those female friends and the kinds of situations you put yourself in with them that may end up causing trouble. Just be smart and don't put yourself in compromising situations. And be sure both your wife and all your female friends know how much you love her so she doesn't ever have to be jealous or insecure.

OF COURSE THEY CAN MY HUBBY HAS A FEW FEMALE FRIENDS IF YOU LIKE SOMEBODY NO MATTER WHO IT IS HAS LONG THERE IS NOTHING SERIOUS GOING ON ITS TO HAVE TRUST AND LOYALTY

Yes

Yes i dont see why not has long as all she is, is a friend. If your wife is secure with herself and has trust in you, then it shouldnt matter who your friends are, but never tell her you have female friends and then never allow her to meet them. Its fine to have friends has long as you have no problem with introducing them to your wife and arent trying to be more than friends


Black_Rabbit
Well of course!
