Week #4 response to Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I couldn’t agree with you more. My blog and DB post this week pretty much said the same thing. I don’t think men and women can be friends without one of them having an emotional connection or sexual connection with the other. I think that even if the issue is addressed it is hard for people to try and control their emotions. And if I meet someone and I tell them I’m married I shouldn’t have to say anything else, they should automatically know that I am not interested in anything more than a platonic friendship. I have had a few male friendships go sour where I had to just end the friendship all together because it would end up hurting him or me in the end. I had a guy that I was friends with that wound up going thru a divorce and venting to me daily and in the end confessed his love for me to me? I was like, “WHAT”? I’m happily married, I have 2 kids…I’m not looking for anything. I give the people that have opposite sex friendships a lot of credit.
