....with people of the opposite sex (or whatever)?

I have a few online friendships, with both men and women. My closest friendships are with men. My husband is 100% okay with this. We have a lot of trust in our marriage, which makes me wonder why I wouldn't like (allow?) him to do the same. He has no interest, so it's not an issue.

My husband asks me questions about my male friends, but out of concern. An example was last year, when Brian's daughter was ill, my husband was always asking me how she was doing. Every Saturday or Sunday, my husband dictates an e:mail to me with his prediction about the Cowboys game that week, and asks me to send it to Sonny. My husband goes to the Post Office to mail things out to my male friends. Are all guys that easy-going about this? I honestly don't know.

I can imagine only imagine if it was the other way around. :lol: I know it's a double-standard, but I can't help it. I am who I am. How about you and your other half?

My GF is also an online thing #@_@# and frankly, shes pretty jealous of any other women i know online! (So I rarely chat with anyone else on MSN :lol: )

I knew a girl who was in an online relationship with a guy. They started talking on the phone, sending each other gifts, etc. He lived in France, while she lived in Michigan. They had agreed to not date other people, despite having never met one another. He was making plans to fly here to meet her.

About six months into it -- but before they met, I forget why, but she became suspicious. She went under another screen name, and sent him an IM. He was flirting like crazy with her. They exchanged pictures. She got a fake picture somewhere. She broke up with the Frenchman. The whole thing seemed weird to me.

I don't really have any opposite sex relationships online. :lol:

No partner. Nope. No husband. Nope. Not even a boyfriend right now. But I'll tell you what I think anyway :lol:
I think your relationship is great. I would want a guy to be okay with any online friendships I had because that's all they are-- friendships-- that aren't even face to face. I wouldn't want to be married to anyone who couldn't trust me to have online friendships with people of the opposite sex, and I would want to trust my partner the same way. It would have to be within reason though. No online chit-chatting for hours or late into the night, things like that. Now, personal face-to-face friendships...that's something else. Single friends would have to be a mutual friend we only see together at the same time or it's not a friend. :lol:

You sound like a great gal Bing Bang.... ;)

Anyway, one should be careful about letting your partner have totally free online relationships, many a marriage has been broken over these things.....Ive known several from back in my MSN chatroom mod days! (It was like being a bartender, the roomieswould tell me all their secrets... i knew everyone who was cheating, online AND off! :eek: [Whether i wanted to, or not!])

He doesn't ask me. He only knows of this place called "the board." :lol: He will sometimes say, "How's the board today?" or "Who's making you laugh?" but he doesn't ask and I don't tell. :lol:

You and the US armed forces, Irene :p ;)

BINGO! :lol:

My wife knows about this place and knows all about Janice. There are no secrets there. LOL She always asks how is she doing and what not. She has no problem with SO.

As for me, if it was the other way around, I wouldn't want my wife chatting with guys online. :lol:

Can you believe our double standards? :lol: Lou just doesn't care. He knows that any hanky panky is the LAST thing on my mind. Sometimes, if it's late, and you and I are cracking jokes, he yells from the bedroom to tell me to quiet down, like I'm a liittle kid. :lol:

:rofl: You've mentioned that part before abt how Lou yells at you to quiet down. I have this image in my head. :lol:

When I used to be up late on the computer chatting away, having a good ol' belly laugh, I would try so hard to keep my laughter in and it hurt so bad to just not let it out. :lol: I didn't want to wake up anyone.

I'm not married, so it's not even an issue with me. :lol:

My boyfriend and I know the same people online. So it would be weird if he were jealous or upset or whatever. He'd more likely laugh.

Hubby doesn't mind, sometimes he'll hear me in here laughing over a funny post and ask me what's so funny. Every once in a while, he'll read a few of the posts but he's just not that into it. He's read some my pm's too and just shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

Ditto!

Yep, my boyfriend trusts me. I mean, it's not like I am going to get on a plane and meet someone. :lol: I guess your wife calls it the "boards" because that is what you call it too. I do. :lol: I mention names but I don't go into detail because whatever is said on the boards STAYS ON THE BOARDS. :rofl:

My Wife trusts me and doesn't care. She also calls this place the 'boards' too. :lol:
Would your wife care if you were very friendly with and chatted often with a few females online, sent and received cards, gifts, movies -- things like that? Funny, my husband calls this place 'the boards' too. :lol:

Awesome job Janice! :thumbsup:

Hey, do we have an online store for S.O. Merchandise? :lol:

She would probably shoot me if I sent cards & gifts lol.
:lol: I love her style. That's how I would be if it was my husband, yet he's fine with anything I do. It's a big, accepted double-standard in our marriage, lol.

Tell me abt it. I would do an "Angelica Houston" on my man...remember Angelica beat up Jack Nicholson for cheating on her. :lol:

My boyfriend has no problems with me going to bachelorette parties (with male strippers) or anything like that. When we were in counseling he told that to the therapist and she asked me if I would be that comfortable with him doing what I do. I said, "OH HELL NO!!!":mad: We all started laughing.

Same here. With the excpetion of Sonny (Walking Tall), Justin (Skywalker) and Michael (HuntingtonM15), all my very best friends here at SO are women. I have this secret fantasy that they all start fighting over me. :lol: ;)

Right on. What part of, 'Do what I say, not as as I do' don't they get? :lol:

That's a great shirt, Janice. :)
Thanks Mike. On your shirt, I'll put this on the back. ;)

:D That works for me, Janice. :D

I don't really email anyone or IM anyone from this board or any board that often. The only people that I'll really IM or email are friends and family, so my husband could careless

Flatterer. :rolleyes: :joke: :rofl:

My boyfriend is pretty :cool: with that, just like I have no problem with him having female friends whether it's at work, or whatever. We have a very good relationship with trust, loyalty, communication, etc.... :love:

not really, my last ex was very possessive and pretty much only "accepted" my female and straight male friends online and offline because he was afraid of me having crushes on anyone else. We were together for only 2 months but he always had a complex where he was for sure I was going to break up with him. We practically had a fight for three hours because I made the mistake of saying Chris Richardson was cute when him and a few of his friends were talking American Idol. To him, that meant I was going to leave him and go stalk Chris :lol:.

Flatterer. :rolleyes: :joke: :rofl:


Thanks for bringing me back down to Earth, Monika. I was starting to get a big head. :lol:
