Do you think that someone could have a genuine friendship with someone that’s married?

That’s a tough one. Me personally I couldn’t go through with it if that ever were to happen. I wouldn’t wanna risk the friendship.

Yeah? You don't lose all your friends when you get married. If you can have friends while dating, you can have friends while married. They'd be just as genuine as before. Both my parents are married and have genuine friendships with people who are also married. This is an odd question.

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes. I have genuine friendships with married women. I am probably friends with hundreds of them. And a few are actually quite close to me.

I always keep proper boundaries, though. If I feel someone is starting to get too personal, I just start ghosting them a little until they back off.

[Jamie05rhs]

Thanks for the MHO.

Yes, just because somebody is married and has a friend of the opposite sex does not mean they are cheating

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

Are you… suggesting that every married person with friends of the same sex as their spouse secretly wants to fuck all of them? My man, I think you need more friends, period full stop.

[brightpapaya]

Married people still have friends, I don't know why it wouldn't be possible...

[SphynxUK]

Friends are friends, be they single, dating or marrried. Not a problem for me.

[Sparkie460]

2 people can certainly have a healthy friendship when one of them are married. I have 3 females that I'm good friends with and I'm married. They are friends and nothing more

[Booklover_90]

Nah. Personally, I wouldn’t want to make his wife suspicious. No need for unnecessary drama, ya know? 😊

[SotiCoto]

Are you asking if it is possible for married people to have friends?
I'm pretty sure they can.

[midnightmoon05]

Friends? Okay. Very goood friends? No way.
Friends of the couple, yes. Going out without the partner is a no no.

[nawtee_me]

Absolutely, friendships like any other relationship has boundaries and if they are not crossed then can be very healthy…

[SongBird3]

As long as it started as a friendship and stayed strictly as a friendship. I dont see why not. I have lots of friends

[rosemilk]

yes... i have plenty

[boggboss]

Yes why wouldn't you lol

[Ryle96]

Unless the other one catch feelings lol. Just a thought.

[boggboss]

Them catching feelings is somthing out of your control why be lonely on the small chance of that happening

[LazerBean]

Of course, a lot of our friends are married or will be soon.

[BadApple69]

Yes. A friend is a friend no matter their gender or marital status.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes, as long as you don’t get attracted to the person or vice versa

[KrakenAttackin]

Any spouse that puts up with this is a damn fool.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, no problem!

[Anonymous]

Of course. Half my friends are married.

[laly520]

yes if they both respect boundaries

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yeah, why wouldn't they be able to?

[Account]

Yes, of course.

[RedInnocent68]

Yu-uh…
