I later was determined to get things working between me and my husband and I thank God he intervened for me. Things are well between us now and I always regret that encounter with my male friend. I don’t even want to see him because I have seen what it can do to my marriage. You don’t know the intentions of the other part, so it’s best stay clear from the beginning.

My husband is the culprit in this. He has done this to me not once not twice. He says he’ll stop. Then he tells me that I knew the man I was marrying before, and I said I would not change him. Today I have freed myself of the whole hullabaloo and decided to ignore and let him act a fool. Maybe one day he will come to his senses. I am hurt to the extent I am becoming indifferent to his behavior. That’s how bad.

The Bible says that "A friend loves at all time." In other words, a friend loves you so much that he cares about that which harms YOU — not what satisfies his/her desires above that which will hurt you and damage or destroy your marriage.

Make Christ your friend instead. "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 19:24). "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

Jesus thought less of His own comforts and more of yours. That’s why He sacrificed Himself for you. Please never forget that and remove this other "friend" from your life if he approaches you wrongly or you find you have feelings for him that you shouldn’t. That is a friendship that will poison. This is sound advice for ALL of us.

Last year I befriended a coworker of the opposite sex because we had some things in common. He is married and has a family, but understood my current situation. It was like finding someone to talk to who understood the way I was feeling and actually gave me some pointers on how to resolve some issues I was having.

Anyway, we went to lunch constantly – sometimes alone and at other times with other co-workers. We talked about personal issues and I agree with this article because the more we talked the more attracted I was to him and vice versa. Luckily he got another job but we still kept in touch (talk on the phone, texting each other etc.).

I know this was wrong and I should have stopped it, but I couldn’t. I still think about him, everyday and constantly look on my phone to see if he called. We had talked about this and decided to not pursue anything physical between us, but I still think of him. Should I tell my husband about this?

Part of the problem my husband and I have, is that he does not like to do the same things I like to do and because of my "wild past" he does not like to go out with me too often and this has cause me to have a lot of resentment and anger towards my husband because I never go anywhere. We have an 8 month old daughter and I spend most of my time with her so I would like to have something just for me (my opposite-sex friendships).

I do not feel like I am having inappropriate conduct and my husband does not give me any indication that he is uncomfortable with it but then again we have not been exactly on the best of terms, and he had also withheld information from me about his dealings with those of the opposite sex. Am I doing something wrong??
