You really believe that don't you? Despite hearing how many of us have successfully kept m/f friendships over the years with no ill effects, you cling tenaciously to the belief that men and women can't be simply friends. I'm baffled.
how "many of you" that there really are that have had successful friendships "throughout" the years outside your marraiges still has yet to be seen. I've only seen maybe two or three of you discussing how easy it is and how it's really not a problem.
