    Cannot understand this question. I am not possessive of my husband, thats why he has never cheated on me. He could leave me anytime he wanted to. I wouldn't worry because there's more to life than controlling other people.

    Oh Bless. You sound in love and very pregnant lol! I dont think it is possesive to be like this. I think it is normal and perfectly acceptable to expect him to make you feel like you are his 'number one', especially at this time. I would defo be uncomfortable about my husband having female friends and I would expect him to be wary if I had male friends. Just because I love him so much and want him all to myself. I'm by no means clingy, which is how it sounds, I just love him so much I dont want to share his affection with anyone female apart from family. Which should be very flattering, actually. I want to be all he wants lol! I would be especially furious if he was friends with a girl who has shown disrespect in the past. So I will say, you have an absolute right to feel this way and you need to work out exactly what it is that 'bugs' you about it. Like I say, for me, its just the fact that I want to be All He Wants. For you it might be the same, or different. You just need a lot of reassurance. Men are a bit crap with that and he's probably just trying to do the right thing for everyone, including his friend. maybe setting limits on the friendship would be a reasonable thing to ask. Eg only come around when you are there, no texting or whatever you both find acceptable. Good luck xxx

    Wives are smarter. A man will almost always take the chance if it is spread out before him. It is the I am still wanted factor. I'm not over the hill etc.. That being said any husband that lets his wife have male friends is a fool because the only reason a man is your wifes friend is that one day he hopes you screw up bad enough that she will have it with him out of spite for your or any other reason she could choose. Unless he is gay he is just waiting to make it or is already making it with her.

    it's in a womans nature to want to be loved by one only.....which is why the Bible clearly says Husbands love your wives...it never once mentions wives love your husband. When a man leads in truth his wife will naturally follow.

    If a woman doesn't love and respect her husband then you can almost bet on it.....she's in love and respects someone else

    Because they trust the lying men who promised that they would take care of them. And you need to learn about being a responsible adult instead of trying to act like you are ALL THAT., because you´re not. Real men don´t send signals of mistrust in a relationship. Only wannabe Players. If you want to be a Player. Let her go on with her life with a responsible MAN, and not with you !

    Wifes are possessive because they care for their husband and their family.

    only because hubbys have much more chances to get involved with other females you will not find this phenomina where both wives and husband or where vwives have more chances of getting mix up with males

  • I think it should be that way with both parties. Why would I want my spouse to be involved with other females other than on a professional level or if they had friends?

    Because women are run by thier emotions mostly. They really don't like the risk of any sort of losing the guy they care about.
