Y'all have some super-paranoid jealous partners, if you can't even talk to a colleague of a particular gender, purely as colleagues. I hope both for your partner and for you that they stop being that way someday.
- nsxwolf 10y agoOh sure I can. I'm just not taking one out for coffee alone.
- andrepd 10y agoYou mean to say you aren't allowed go our for coffee with a colleague? That sounds like a really unhealthy relationship to be honest... She doesn't trust you alone with a person of the opposite sex?
- serf 10y agoas someone who has had such partners (and thankfully do not now), let me assure you that it's a fairly common phenomena. Also, for me at least, yes; it was a very unhealthy relationship/lifestyle. You're absolutely right about that. edit: I didn't realize spouse implied only married-partner. I changed my wording on that. I always thought it just implied 'live-in partner'. (i'm not the marrying type, hah.)
- mbfg 10y agothat's cute. not married eh?
- Chinjut 10y agoAre you suggesting this is a healthy dynamic that all married couples share?
- beachstartup 10y agojust the ones that will likely end in divorce because somehow the husband thinks a woman will remain faithfully attracted to a witless, scared man for years on end.
- mbfg 10y agoi am not attesting at all to its health, just its commonality
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoI'm married. I have friends of both sexes. I'll go out alone with them if I please. He has the same freedoms as I do. I don't see what the problem is. That is being respectful and not allowing jealousy to stifle your partner's behavior. IMHO, if you can't trust your spouse to go out to lunch or coffee with their coworkers, perhaps there is a problem with the relationship.
