Would your husband have a problem with this?

If I (by the grace of God, so help me Baby Jesus I will) manage to get David tickets, I'm going with a male friend.  Yeah, he's attractive, but he's simply a friend.  No sexual attraction whatsoever.  M has no problem.  He's just glad that he's not going to have to go.

It really would depend on how well DH knows this friend.

firefightersgal

No, my DH wouldn't care. 

squishywife

if the male friend were gay - no problem.

if the male friend enjoys vaginas dh would have a problem.  it is hard for dh to understand why any man wouldnt want me - lol - so he would assume any man who wanted to go to a concert with me wanted make out with me.

I just asked dh and he said he would not be thrilled. 

breezee_bean

only if he knew the guy, they he'd have no problem at all. 

cooker71

I don't think he would care, but I'm not positive.

Where are you going?  David Gray, perchance?

Anyway, no, H would not have an issue with this.  He wouldn't have to go and that would make him very happy. 

summerbrideDC

No, DH would not mind at all. ?He'd be thrilled not to have to go. ?;-)

katie277s

Probably not.  We have very different tastes in music and he would be fine with me going with someone else so he wouldn't have to go as well.  But if he had never met the guy before, he would probably insist on that first.

No silly winery, David Cook. 

I do love David Gray too, just not in an "I want to lick him" way. 

winery

Of course David Cook!  Duh, I didn't remember who I was talking to!

Yes, still stands, maybe even moreso now.  He'd definitely not want to go and be happy that I'd found a stand-in.

bebemama

He wouldn't be crazy about it. ?But, I wouldn't be crazy about him going to a concert with a girl AT ALL!?

I have an over active imagination.  Which is why I don't want him friends with other girls and why I shouldn't be friends with other boys;)

Seriously?  Neither of you has friends of the opposite sex?  That's kind of sad.

maybaby519

I don't think so.  MH is prety laid back when it comes to having friends of the opposite sex.  hell we even have my ex from college over with his GF and they come to DS's bday party each year.. it's kind of like we were friends, tried to be more, and realized friends was a ll we were.

Thats actually not what I meant to say and I edited to say "going out with" and I was kind of joking. ?Neither of us have co-workers so for us to make new friends of the opposite sex that we didn't previously have, or meet together it would be strange, like in that we met them at a coffee shop or something which is why it would be weird. ?But yes, we both have friends of the opposite sex.

no problem

Brideofranken

no- he sent me to brooklyn  with 2 cute boy friends- one of whom I shared a bed with. Just friends from back home who were passing through on their way back to Brooklyn, I was just joining for fun and flew back to D-town. ( I trust him a lot, but I don't know if that would fly the other way around...)

femmegem

Nah. He trusts me.

MrsSledge

Depends on the guy.  I have one guy friend I've had since high school and I don't think he would mind if it were him.  If it were someone else that would mean that it was a new friend, and unless he was gay my DH would have a problem with it.

mmbench

Nope.

 Of course my DH doesn't care if I go out dancing w/ friends and dance w/ other guys.  He's even been there with me.  He refuses to dance with me, so he says whatever as long as it's just dancing.

HasteTheDay

Hmm... I don't think I'd ever consider going out alone with a guy friend. So I think if I asked about it, DH would raise an eyebrow and say "seriously?" and that would be the end of it. I guess we must consider going out alone with the opposite sex "inappropriate" so it never really comes up. I'd be uncomfortable with DH going out with a female friend... 

babykin18

No, my dh would be thankful I wasn't taking him and tell me to have a good time.  That's what he did when I went to see DMB a few years ago.

Ditto this. Call me old-fashioned, but I just don't think going out with another man is respectful to our marriage. I do have male friends, and DH has female friends, but neither of us would attend a concert alone with an opposite sex friend. Our outings with opposite sex friends are generally limited to coffee or lunch. A concert just seems like the next level to me. 

*Note that I said "our marriage" and not all marriages. This is just how I feel. I'm totally not judging what others choose to do. 

DandR

as long as it was a friend and not a stranger to my DH, he would have no problem with it.  If I said it was a random co-worker that DH hasn't ever met, he'd probably raise an eyebrow....but I still have a hard time thinking he would get super upset or nix the plans....I don't know.
