"Best Friends or Lovers"

gtim
By gtim

To some extent it happens to both male & female. If they are singles, no hassles… But what IF… a guy is married and the girl is unmarried, or vice versa? Do you think its acceptable? “Maybe they will reason out; “ were only best of friends…nothing more”.
But then, they’re always together, going out and coming in the office, eating together, going to malls, etc… Is it really friendship or anything else?.... If you happened to be a wife/husband of that individual with “friendship” to another, it is acceptable to you or not?
Guys, you are free to give your comment….

I am wife and got a good career and conservative too, It is very very difficult (I guess will never can) to approve my husband friendship with his female colleague. I think most wife will agree with me.

Those girls out there who having "frienship/whatever they call it" please respect other women marriages, otherwise, it will be boomerang to those girls once they got married.

To Gtim : tell your friend if she feels something not right, then her feelings is right. She should talk to her husband calmly. Hope they can set the limit to have a long lasting marriage.

helo gtim...

i think now its problem in ur side and ur vision on this case making it more complicated. bcoz u seems to be looking dat much deep to gents weaknesses...

Sure der will be som desire and passions towards other ladies for the married guys!

One who control his feelings and keep his family life safe is perfect.

And always make sure dat the wife is caring and loving him much as he wish frm her or more dan daat.

A good wife can guide a man to success...

A bad wife is enough to spoil minimum a community...!!

I’m a simple housewife and just open this topic. It’s quite interesting as it reflects reality. I just stayed at home and I don’t really know what happens in my husband’s office. I accept the fact the men are polygamous but then they can also loyal to their wife if temptation is out. For me, it’s a big no to have friendship with opposite sex if married. As I said temptation is there…

As for Gtim’s advise to her friend Mheljes is correct we should not be biased, we don’t know the rest of the story itself.

Actually, it’s a good topic if Glorya don’t start bashing Gtim.

well.. for me... a married man or woman should not make a very close friendship with opposite sex... khalas... coz there could be something that could spark..yah know! ;)

as for gtim's advice to her friend... well, she just gave advise... its not her fault if her friend decided to follow her advise. it was her friends choice unless gtim force her friend to follow her advise, and that would be a different story then.

we have our own choices, we seek advice from different friends/people, but the decision is still ours, and whatever consequence it would give, we should not blame it to others.

i guess it was not only gtim's advise that made her friend do those investigation churva...

bashing gtim's advise to her friend is kinda one-sided and only narrow-minded people can think of...

i mean c'mon... in this generation... only naive and fools will believe that aint no somethin' goin on between a married man getting close to a woman friend...

just my toe cents...lol

and I quote you: "...the wife is here and she's my friend. she confided to me and asked some advise. she did what i told her. she make some secret investigations and talked to her husband what she knew. but naturally, boys will be boys...all he can say was "honey... were just friends and then turned back from her." i felt sorry for her. She is so worried that it might affect their marriage life..

i was thinking about this other girl? all the while she know that the guy is married, why then she kept on clinging with him... so disgusting...

---> Your friend did what you told her...what did you tell her exactly? Investigate, check his phone?

--->"Boys will be boys"...you're generalizing and made a conclusion about men (or boys) and your friend's husband.

As a friend, you should have consoled her, told her to be strong and trust her husband more....not give her ideas. Besides, you're SINGLE...how would you know and what don you know about married life? They're married...you're not.

Like I said earlier...whatever happens now to your friend and her husband...will be your fault. Just pray they won't get separated, coz if they do...you'll have that in your conscience.

Azi, I don’t gave her this idea. She's the one who told me that a girl in the office is flirting her husband. I told her maybe she’s getting paranoid… and she said that this girl texted her husband… she happened to read it when the husband is in the bathroom. It says: “gud am… May sandwich akong dala. Share tayo.” She don’t usually check her husband phone, only lately when she sense some changes on his activities. She knows what she feels, which is normal for a wife.

Very well said, QS.

"...It’s not about having facts, it is about your sense of the issue.. You as a wife definitely have sense of what exactly is going on… if there is something fishy or not.. If you do feel that there is something, trust me, THERE IS!..If it is only friendship, she would respond properly, demonstrating you that there is nothing between her and you hub.."

A further note, this comes from the wife having no self esteem issues of her own. She can then observe the situation (face to face) and assess it for what it really is - whether just best friends or more than that. People can lie but their actions will speak louder than words - eventually. Notice inconsistencies, etc.

sometimes it difficult to give advices to a friend you need to listen to other story, it best just to listen to a friend who confides you about her problems and let her feel that you are there to listen. but saying things that will feed her mind to let her decide the worst. esp. in this case maybe gtims friend family life would at stake lukaret is right "Instead of adding more fire why dont you pour some water to kill that fire..

An officemate came to me one morning teary-eyed and asked for help.

The night before, she accidentally opened her husband's mobile phone(they both have the same Nokia model N90) and saw/read text messages from our other female officemate. when she checked the call history, there were exchanges of calls from 2-3 weeks back.

She suspected that our officemate is having an affair with her husband. And she's devastated at the idea coz the girl in question was so close to her like a sister.

I told her this: Talk to her husband, tell him what she found and how bad/hurt/betrayed she felt and give her husband the chance to deny/admit it. If he (my friend) believe him, well and good but if she's not convinced, give the husband an choice: continue his friendship and lose his family OR try and save the marriage.

In my opinion: avoid getting involved with MARITAL ISSUES, especially if you're not MARRIED.

One QLer posted that it it likely for people who works in a company/office 8(or more) hours a day, 5 or 6 hours a day develop a sort of bonding with each other; like brothers and sisters...

BUt look at this way:

(1) The husband can have close friends (opposite gender) as long as he does not neglect his wife;

(2) The girl in question (the female officemate) should know her limitations.

the problem is, people around makes/creates the problem when there's none.

GTIM, some of the posters here are right...you DID insinuated to your friend that her HUSBAND MIGHT BE cheating ON HER. You created the clouds of doubt in her mind. Accept it or not, whatever happens next to your friend and her husband will be YOUR FAULT.

He's f****in around and she's being foolish. If it bothers her tell her to tell her husband that she dont like it and wants him to stop? Simple.

If she cant communicate - She's already failed.

Even you are both married or one of you, its not a reason to stop yourself making freinds with others. I agree with Gloria marriage doesnt mean loosing self identity. Go out and meet others even in your opposite sex there's no problem with that.. If your talking about conservatism, then i probably guess that you dont have male freind coz you're conservative and you will ONLY allow ladies in your circle of freinds.

- you are absolutely right lukaret.

If your talking about conservatism, then i probably guess that you dont have male freind coz you're conservative and you will ONLY allow ladies in your circle of freinds.

I have one close male friend....we go for the coffee,for the dinner, sometimes we go out for the drink together.. but we are really just friends.. He always share with me news about his endless searching for the “right” girl.. he changes these girls every season, and every time we keep discussing what was the problem last time.. i share with him my issues, and again we discuss things.. He is like my 'girlfriend'. I would never consider him as a lover. I mean, of course there is some element of attraction.. but hey, that's how we choose our friends of any gender: element of attraction to the person is always there.. in order to share private things you have to trust person and to like him/her.. but these feelings are way too far from the sexual attraction..

Also this "friendship" cannot interfere with my family. When I have a choice to spend time either with my hub or with this friend, I always chose my hub. So here is the point: if your husband spends too much time with this girl, and if you are neglected at the same time, this is different story..

My hub has some female friend.. she is our common friend actually.. I know her very well.. We spend some time all together (with some other our friends), but I also know that my hub and her sometimes used to go for the lunch, or he used to help her with something.. She recently moved to another gulf country, and my hub and I along with our other friends recently went to visit her there.. So what I want to say is I had never have even one doubt that this is a pure friendship. It’s not about having facts, it is about your sense of the issue.. You as a wife definitely have sense of what exactly is going on… if there is something fishy or not.. If you do feel that there is something, trust me, THER IS!

Why wouldn’t you invite this girl to your house, why wouldn’t you try to become her friend? If it is only friendship, she would respond properly, demonstrating you that there is nothing between her and you hub.. Tell you hub next time when he is going to go to the mall, that you were planning to go exactly to the same mall, and why wouldn't you go all together? Organize outing for you, your hub, this girl, and bring some other friend or better some couple (guy-girl). Try to become part of this group..

But again, just to 'confront' your hub will lead you nowhere.. He perfectly understand that it disturbs and upsets you, and all these fights, tears and ultimatums will only piss him off..

And for those who advise her to get a "Boyfriend" to be equal.. well,, this is not the best way of acting when you want to SAVE your family.. if you want to complete destroying it, then sure, go ahead, get a "BF" and be "equal".. would this equality bring you a happiness?

i think trust is strongly related to your story::

she make some secret investigations and talked to her husband what she knew.

(for what she is investigating if she trust her husband :

* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

if both of you are unmarried, there's no problem. As you said so malicious people are just around the corner, often they got the negative conclusion, 'though, you dont make it. in a concervative manner its not actually acceptable.

I myself have bestfreind at work. We came together and we go out together at office since, ofcourse we have same office timing. We talk, we laught, we tease, we eat together which is become our normal routine. We even go to malls together which is i dont think any problem in that. We are bestfreind and nothing more. The affair thing you were saying is just on the mind of malicious and jealous ppol surround them. In one office you cannot avoid to find ppl who likes to talk about others and make a fire.. Tell your freind not to simply blve those kind of ppol.

If this happen to me, if I am the wife, and my husband told me that he don’t have any affair with this lady.. If you trust your husband and respect him why you worry I believe that even we are married we don’t have to lose our identity ( we can still have friends and go out with them) I know my husband better than anyone else if I see him any changes in our love life that’s another story.

its not good

if someone is married then he/she should not have any best friends whom he/she eat , shopping or coming n going to office..he/she must spend that time shooping or eating with husband/wife

avoid friendship after marriage or otherwise introduce ur husband/wife with that friend..

that what mostly boys and girls doing, but in this case 85% there can be something between them. she should take action on that and get her husband before it will be to late.... or let her do the same thing to show him what he is doing. i mean just get her good friend and go out with him front of him.... and then let him feel what she feel.

WATCH YOUR BACK......

i know a case just like that. tell your friend not to sit tight on her couch & just forever wonder if it's just friendship or what, at least before it's too late. If her husband is not cooperating, better confront his "friend." Being the wife afterall, OMG! she has to do it...who else will do it for her?

By gtim• 6 Apr 2010 09:31

azi, the wife is here and she's my friend. she confided to me and asked some advise. she did what i told her. she make some secret investigations and talked to her husband what she knew. but naturally, boys will be boys...all he can say was "honey... were just friends and then turned back from her." i felt sorry for her. She is so worried that it might affect their marriage life..

i was thinking about this other girl? all the while she know that the guy is married, why then she kept on clinging with him... so disgusting...

talk it out... best for both of you.

I may not act like a pessimist who wud conclude it as a case of cheating, but I strongly suggest that such issues should be talked out and a common minimum consent should be made in order to have a healthy relationship.

my two cents, but your life...

If the wife prefers to stay home, take care of the kids BUT neglect the husband's needs...there's a problem. Sometimes, romance disappears...

But if the wife is not here...oh oh...
