Do You Trust Your Husband to Have Female Friends?

i trust him completely. he trusts me completely - we have been together for about 15 years - married 10 in may. we have sadly found - in our lives - the Single people we WERE friends with - wanted more from each of us. we learned it when it because obvious that they werent in it to be friends - we are talking about people from the past - and the present. not everyone is that way. we are both ALLOWED to have friend of any gender. but we both choose to be cautious about who we hang out with because we are happy together and want to stay that way.


new friends I would probably have an issue with. Just like he would have an issue w/ me making a new guy friend.
When we first met we both told each other about our friends, so if was going to be an iisue it could be resolved immediately before we got serious. It's been awhile since then and most of our friends have moved away or gone in different directions, but if they were to call neither of us would have an issue with it.

Yes. DH has female friends at work, as well as male friends. He runs into females he used to work with and will say hi and strike up a conversation. He also used to hang out with females when we were dating.
I can't go around expecting my DH to cheat with every female he comes across. I'm not that paranoid and if someone is, they probably shouldn't be with their DH since a relationship requires trust.

He has a female best friend and I have a male best friend. We aren't paranoid about each other's friends.

We don't have friends of the opposite sex. It has nothing to do with trust. It has to do with legally you cannot be alone with the opposite sex in Islam if they are not blood related to you. This includes cousins of the opposite sex since we can marry cousins in Islam and BIL/SIL. Now I can be around my FIL alone since I cannot marry my FIL and my husband be alone with my mother since he can't marry my mother.
