I would like to thank all of you who have responded to my post “Friends of a Gender” Feb 20, 2009. The comments have been great. Personally, I agree that couples can have friends of the opposite gender when they are in a committed relationship; but, you might be surprised just how many people, men and women, that don’t agree. Just today, in our local paper’s advise column, there was a woman who was concerned because her boyfriend was still friends with his ex-wife, and saw or talked to her about once a month. She was insecure about their friendship and felt they had no reason to continue a friendship because there were no kids involved.
