Jealous boyfriend can't see me spend time with friends

Name withheld

Dear Friend,
Most couples cheat to satisfy some longing for adventure or something else missing in the marriage. Truly happy people don't search and usually don't cheat unlessu00a0 coerced. If they give in because they "can get away with it", they probably were having problems to begin with.

Ask this married man out... for coffee?

Dear Diana,
I am friendly with a married man. Our sons go to karate together. We talk a lot when we see each other twice a week. He always seeks me out for a chat and seems to enjoy my company. I enjoy his company as well. Would it be okay for me to ask him out for coffee?

Dear Friend,
"Ask out"? Why? He has coffee at home if he's thirsty and a wife if he needs a friend. If you want to buy him coffee, fine, do that when you meet up normally. It's strange that you are asking. I got male friends who are married, and male friends that are in relationships. There's nothing wrong with being friends with a married man, but usually coffee doesn't happen. If you go somewhere together it's usually totally unplanned, unforeseen and innocent. I think you should leave it well enough alone. I can't imagine your intentions being in the right place if you are trying to push the friendship into something more private and exclusive between the two of you. It's how it would appear to others anyway and to him.
