terminology
well maybe it's just terminology, but when I go see a movie with my friend MJ, I don't call it 'taking her out to the movies;' and I don't pay for her or anything like that, we are just going to see a movie together, usually just because it's a movie we want to see, not just for something to do, or to hang out or go on some kind of pseudo date or anything. And sometimes we'll go have a couple drinks afterwards, but even though it could probably very easily develop into something more, we both - we *all* know that it probably *shouldn't* for numerous reasons, and respect that.
Personally, I have always enjoyed the company of women more than the company of other guys, and usually felt more comfortable around them - that is until I did feel attracted to them in more than a 'just friends' way, then I become dead nervous, but that's another matter! And my wife has always said she always has had more guy friends than female friends, she just always got along with them better - she was a bit of a tomboy growing up, I think. It does sound like jealousy, and maybe it is! I know when my wife first started going out to do things with her guy friends without me (after our first baby) I was pretty jealous, but quickly got over it. I knew she wasn't going out "dating" anyone, she was just going to to get out of the house & socialize with her friends. Nothing wrong with that. Is there any time you have ever wanted to go somewhere with your male friends but felt you couldn't because your husband wouldn't let you?
