My Wife's New "Buddy"

[Dominic]

This is not about insecurity or jealousy....you have never acted this way about her REAL guy friends, right? (although, see what I think on THAT subject below)

This is not acceptable or proper behaviour for a married person - man or woman - to be doing. It is incredibly inappropriate, and puts you in a no-win situation: if you object, you're an insecure, jealous husband. If you do nothing about it, you're a pussy.

Don't act jealous or insecure - act outraged and rightfully indignant. She is in the wrong - completely - and needs to be told that.

***As for guys being friends with girls, well, read my last column. Married women having guy friends who aren't also their husband's friends, is suspicious and unnecessary. What purpose do they serve, other than as back-burners (inappropriate), guys who make her feel attractive and wanted (your job, by the way), or guys who giver something emotionally you are not (again, your job)?

Only if the guy is gay shoulds you condone a friendship with the opposite sex. Unless you both are friends with him, of course. By the way, this also goes for married men - what's good for the goose, etc.
