Do any of you men (both single guys and married guys) have close non gay platonic female friends?
I have always enjoyed the friendship of men and women both. Some wives get it and are cool with it as I usually want to be friends with them too and most are confident enough in themselves and their marriage to understand I am not a threat... but there is one who is batshit crazy and accused her husband of dating me and then proceeded to threaten him and me.
Um, what? 1. I am dating, Steady almost 10 months now, 9 of those in exclusivity. 2. I have a pretty strong track record of fidelity. 3. He is married and my friend...not my lover, not now, not interested. 4. The last time I saw him was at a group event over a month ago BUT we do talk or text often. 5. I have encouraged them to get counseling about 100 times, and gave him a list of some very good and objective ones...they finally are.. I told him their situation may get worse before it gets better because counseling can force people to face uncomfortable things...it apparently has...she is much angrier and blaming him and everyone else for her unhappiness...btw I know this because he screenshot the rant to me. 6. I am sad because I am cutting off contact with him and he could use a sane woman's perspective at this time plus hr has offered good male advice to me... but I think the less contact he has with me the better for both of us. I told him to call the counselor.
Truly, it is likely she will just shift her animosity onto the next unsuspecting victim, he has a lot of friends who are women..and several single ones.. but it's his bed and at least he knows now what her crazy looks like.
TLDR...in some cases men and women can't be besties... This may effectively end a long term friendship and it just sucks.
