see now I have to disagree I have lots of male friend and I maintained these friends during my marriage and now my husband is gone but I still hve all these great male friends. Btw incase you were wondering what happened in the marriage it was my husband cheated with one of his female "friends" which sucks but I really believe if you are with someone where it is just in their nature to cheat it doesn't matter if they have opposite sex friends or not because if it is their nature they will go find some random and do it anyway.
