“There’s a girl I recently befriended. Just friends!! I’m not attracted to her at all, but my wife has been very upset about my friendship with her. I want to know what’s the big deal? We’re just friends. Am I out of line or is my wife just being a bitch about this?” (Tyson, 43)
Ms.Zombie says:
Well to me I think it is a little insane that she is getting weird about it, however lots of women are like this. It is an insecurity thing between her and you. She might not feel as attractive as she use to be. Try being a little more lovey-dovey with her to assure her that you are only interested in her. Also talk to her about why she is affected by this relationship. Maybe she is picking up on something that might have passed you by.
Madam Cougalicious says:
Tyson.. Ever heard of a woman’s intuition? Your wife is picking something up between the two of you. A better question would be, how important is this friendship to you? If the answer is very important, you have non-friendly intentions, so be honest with yourself. If the answer is not important at all, move on.. it’s not worth your marriage.

First of all your wife should be your best friend. If you are not having your friendly needs met by your wife then there are other issues at hand. Find out what they are and work them out. Not to mention, what kind of girl would befriend a married man and not befriend his wife? Consider your ‘just friend’ may be wishing for more because I don’t know a single respectable female who would do that.
In case you didn’t get the memo, most girls have an agenda and are pretty damn manipulative when they want to be… it should be manditory for all men to watch The Bachelor, then they’d see what women are really like and how they can pretend to be around the poor schmuck they are trying to win over. Be cautious, is this ‘just friend’ worth losing your wife over because I guarantee you will lose her.
When you spoke those vowes you sealed the deal that she’d be your best friend forever… remember? Ditch the bitch or get ready for a one way ticket to divorce town. If you want to fix the problem, introduce them and include your wife in your plans together. Chances are if your ‘just friend’ gets along with you so well, she’d probably get along with your wife too.
