Yeah, none, except his wife. I can't even casually date two women at the same time anyway. I tried it once, being completely honest with both of them, but frankly it was too expensive in terms of... well, everything! Emotional energy, mental energy, physical energy, money, time, you name it. If a guy was independently wealthy, didn't need to work, and didn't give a shit, multiple partners might be for him. Otherwise, I don't see how you can do it.
zero 'less the wife is ok with it and if that's the case, the wife should set the number and make sure the gfs are up to spec
Umm girls as friends are okay...Just keep an eye on the shifty ones. But girlfriends as in dating, romancing...Zero, none, zilch...
bullshit! it doesn't just happen. If a man can be had, or is on the prowl for some strange, he shouldn't be married in the first place.
I agree with this. I've had a few friends who married and then had girlfriends (some with, some without the wife's consent) and it ALWAYS ended badly. Not always the end of the marriage, but sooner or later the wife had enough. Polyamorous situations are ALMOST ALWAYS a recipe for disaster. (IMO)
Im gonna go with ZERO since a person gets married to be with that ONE person for the rest of their life
I'll add that I am a wife who is letting my husband be friends with the woman he had an affair with. Right now it is a friends thing but it could turn out to be more. No, it doesn't bother me. When I look back over the 2 years he was sleeping with her nothing changed. It actually was better. And no, I didn't stop "putting out". He didn't find anything wrong with our marriage or me. He just found another best friend. The thing is he never compares us...You have to be ready mentally for it all and the jealousy thing has to be dealt with. I think you can love more than one person at a time. We are living it. It isn't right for everyone but it does work for some. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if you are happy or not. If you can say yes, then it is ok.
Maybe some wives are okay with this concept, but I'd say NONE unless you're both okay with open-marriage relationships. Me? No way, that's why I married the guy! love, mom
I know that people and society think that because you are married you can't have another best friend of the opposite sex. I have found that this helps. When my husband doesn't understand certain things I do even after we talk about it, then he has another womans perspective. And vice versa for her. Communication is a big part of it all. I can say that we are one of the couples that have been thru hell and back because of the affair but it has made us stronger than ever. We have learned who each other truley are. And accept each other. There is no more guessing or no more not saying anything. It is more than what I have ever imagined and I imagined pretty darn good. It takes certain people with support systems also.
None-if your married. Why get married then? If this is having friends of the oppsite sex then that's a whole different thing. Just because your friends doesn't mean your having sex with them. But then ofcourse it all depends on what BOTH partners AGREE on.
