    to confide in a friend or multiple friends of the opposite sex when you are married?

    Maybe. It largely depends on what kind of stuff you confide, and whether you also confide this with your spouse. I'd also say that if there is an issue, it isn't so much the gender question but the keeping or sharing of secrets.

    Huh? When you confide it is with one person, or it's on the evening news.

    It's not necessarily one person, it's just not everyone. So what you are really asking, then, is whether it's okay to keep secrets from your wife that you instead share with a mistress? The answer is no.

    No, that is not what I am asking at all. Do you always tell your friends everything you tell your wife and vise versa? Jeez you are controlled by your wife aren't you?

    I suppose I posted this in the wrong forum, hoping for rational discussion on something.

    You're going to have to provided more info. At the moment it looks like you are either keeping a mistress, or have a BFF you've told about your urges for cock.

    It doesn't matter which forum you post in, any thread with you as a participant is not going to have "rational discussion", since you're incapable of it, you clown.

    Problem with you confiding in anybody, ED, is that nobody would give a flying fuck.

    There are some things that should ONLY be shared with your spouse.

    If it is one of those things then yeah it is wrong to confide in another person.

    just as an example, EP, if you hit your wife, you probably don't want to confide in your fag hag.

    Disagree! It's apples and oranges. You have a special bond with a mistress (or male version of a mistress if you are female) that's separate (but equal) from the relationship you have with your lifetime spouse. Things you share with a lover are sacred, just between you two. Things you share with a spouse might be repeated to their friends, family members, etc. etc.
    But you can "be yourself" with a lover. It's hard to explain. Regardless, guilt never enters into the equation in my case because my brain doesn't really comprehend/feel guilt.

    Dickynoo's got a point here. If you're not 100% confident you're doing the right thing, you're probably not doing the right thing.

    This thread needs to die on the vine. It was a poor question to ask of a bunch of WF geeks who don't have any friends. Exactly how many friends should a person have ?????????

    Naw, I think I will continue this. Now from what I gather the WF rules are no friends of the opposite sex then. Has no one here told a friend something they didn't tell their spouse? I think that is pretty much bullshit. You guys live by some pretty fucked up rules.

    Again, the people you meet at the roadside rest area and the truckers you service at the truck stop aren't "friends".

    The former are called "perverts" and the latter are called "clients".


    Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Hiram Walker, and all their like aren't really "friends", either, though we can all understand how you could get confused about that. :matt:

    For you? The fact that you tell your wife everything?

    So what is it you're telling all these "female friends" that you aren't telling your wife?
