Throwing in my two cents

In my 21 years of life, I have not gotten along with girls very well.  (Aside from the girls I've met on here who are absolutely fabulous) I've always been able to talk and interact with men better.  My DH is absolutely my best friend, but that does not mean I'm cutting ties with any male (or female) because I am married to him.  I talk to him whenever I get the chance.  But for instance, we share a mutual friend "C".  I've grown closer to him as the years have gone by, and he's there if I need to talk to.  I talked to him just about a month ago about a serious situation my sister was in, because DH wasn't available for me to vent and ball my eyes out too.  Just because I can go to "C" with anything, doesn't mean that I don't go to my DH.  Anything I tell anyone else, is something I would tell my DH.  Not to mention the fact that "C" gives me a little insight to how a man's mind works.  If I need to vent about DH, or better understand why he does some of the things he does "C" is there to help.  I'm not emotionally cheating on DH, because I always tell DH everything.  Anything I could tell "C" or any other friends I could easily tell my husband.  Even if its something about DH, we end up talking about it.  I just get a little advice on how to handle the situation.  Its healthy to have friends of the opposite sex.

most of my friends are male... some of them are gay... i have female friends... some of them are gay.  really gender alone makes no difference to who you are attracted to etc.  i don't consider being close with friends as emotional cheating.
