I am a married woman and my husband is very loving and caring but I can’t share my thoughts with him. I have a good friend with whom I share everything. I have known him since the last two years and met with him once. Is it wrong for a married woman to have such a male friend? Sometimes I feel bad and anxious. Please help.
Feeling lonely in a marriage or a relationship is not uncommon. You have mentioned that though your husband is loving and caring, you find it difficult to share with him. Right or wrong is a slippery slope as it is based on a number of factors, the primary being the mutually stated expectations in a relationship. Some questions you could ask yourself are: has my primary relationship been affected by this new friendship? Has this new friendship become a big focus point in my life, side-lining other aspects? Am I secretive about my communications and meeting with my friend? If the answer to the above is yes, you are most likely grappling with feelings of uncertainty and guilt. It would be a good idea to seek out a therapist to think through things a bit more clearly.
