I would have told my husband where to go on that one for sure. I most certainly would not give up all my male friends because I am in a committed relationship, that would be totally unreasonable..... how would you even go about that just say look I know that we have been friends for 20 years and we know each other better then anyone and have always been able to rely on each other but I cant be your friend anymore because of the relationship I am in? I think if you are faced with this there is something very very wrong with your relationship. My husband has female friends (some of which even dated long ago) and i expect and encourage him to maintain those friendships. If you cannot trust your spouse and vise versa your relationship is doomed whether you have friends of the opposite sex or not. Yeah right!

Relationships are all about trust and if one does not have that trust factor it is better not to go for a relationship at all.

It can be a sign of control issues, it can also be self esteem issues. Of course, a lot of times, bad self esteem brings about bad behavior like controling and abusiveness.
