One of our male members posed this question asking that only women respond. But of course, the men of the forum couldn't resist and answered anyway. He didn't want to hear the male perspective. So, please give one of our male members a hand and give him your opinion of his question.
Quote:
I am deeply in love with my wife of 10 years, and I cannot (and would not) imagine life without her. We have a wonderful relationship and each passing day gets better and better.
Recently, I regained touch with my former best friend, who is a female friend. She and I grew up next door to each other all the way through high school, and we were always as close as siblings, but NEVER anything sexual or deeper than friendship. For the past 25 years, we have had no contact with each other, and within the past month we've located each other and begun swapping e-mails. We're now talking to each other via e-mails the same intimate way we used to talk all those years ago (which means we're swapping e-mails daily). We were always very comfortable speaking openly and intimately with each other, and apparently that aspect of our friendship hasn't changed.
Neither my wife nor myself have maintained very much contact with old friends and this is something new in our relationship. Although my wife knows I have re-established contact with this friend (and she knows we were never in love), she doesn't know the extent to which we've been talking. I would not ever want to hide our renewed friendship from my wife, but I'm not sure how much I should say to her about it.
Will my wife think I am betraying her if I have frequent and sometimes intimate discussions about things with another woman?
