Marriage and a single friend

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

If you are already married, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be having single friends anymore. You may still have single friends around you with whom you are very much close with. There is fairly nothing wrong with that of course, but sometimes, a single friend can cause trouble. It may be that the person is jealous that you are married and he or she is not, or it may be that your friend is jealous of all the time you spend with your spouse. Here is an exerpt of what i have read in one blog on how a single friend might affect your marriage with your spouse:

Either way, don’t let the jealous single friend create problems between you and your mate. You can, and should, still go out with your friends sometimes, just be careful not to do anything that gives your spouse suspicions. For example, you probably don’t want to be hanging out in the club that your ex frequents, especially without your spouse. Making your husband or wife doubtful, suspicious, or jealous is not good for your relationship.

Your friend may also talk ugly about your spouse at times. If you get the least bit frustrated and complain, your friend is likely to not only agree, but exaggerate your mate’s fault’s as well. Don’t fall into the trap of seeing your spouse through an envious acquaintance’s eyes.

It’s also not a good idea to share too much private information with this kind of person. It has a way of coming back to bite you. The pal might actually use it against you to get you and your spouse into an argument. It’s been done. Then, your pal will undoubtedly say, "Let’s get out of here." You’ll most likely regret it.

To further emphasize the thought, it is not a sin to have a single friends, definitely not a wrong practice in maintaining a relationship with single friends while being married to the person you loved dearly. You just have to make sure which ones are your real friends. =)

As I browse over millions and millions of blog articles all over the internet, the topic on "cheating" caught my attention. needless to say, I’m a married woman, I am a mother, and a person. We may always encounter problems as an individual, as a wife or as a mom and the top most crisis in our lives is cheating. If a heart attack is fatal in human because it leads to death, cheating if fatal to a relationship for it leads to an end of a harmonious relationship. Insensitvity of a partner is one great concern in cheating because the partner committing this fatal reason for a break up doesn’t even care or take notice of what must the offending side may feel.  This realization is the truth. Be it your partner’s fault or other influences in your lives, it still is a cheating when committed…According to one article I’ve read. He stated what is cheating in an itemized form.  Here are some tips on how u may actually consider that u are being cheated by your partner:

  1. Thinking of someone else while having sex with your partner
  2. Buying secret gifts for someone else
  3. Sending secret texts to someone else
  4. Telling someone of the opposite sex all your secrets and your feelings about your partner but without touching them at all
  5. Kissing someone else passionately
  6. Buying flowers for someone else but not telling your partner
  7. Buying flowers for someone else who your partner does not like and not telling your partner

It was not mentioned here that cheating is also when trying to attempt of another party to ruin a relationship and your partner gave in to it? hmmmm???
