The man complains about married life with his wife (as there is always something to complain about, right?) but the younger woman then feels she needs to fix this older man. Next she is "falling" for him. He, going through a mid-life crisis loves the extra attention and doesn't stop or set boundaries and the next thing you know he is lieing to his wife and spending day time hours (he is retired from working) with this woman. She then fills his head with all sorts of non-christian ideas (she is not a christian) and does her best to get him to leave his wife. All this under the deception of "being best friends". NO, men and women cannot be friends for very long without becoming tangled in each others lives or arms. The end of the story? The wife stepped in and raise hell. The man returned to his wife and the 'friend' tells everyone she knows that her life is in danger. What started as a friendship ended as a broken romance on the young woman's part. The man was just enjoying the attention and feeling guilty for sneaking. So no, male/female friends at any age is difficult and other people involved with them get hurt.

Friendship is a basic for every new relationship and sometimes feelings of loving your friends are stronger than loving someone you love, right? I agree with you to start the marriage with friendship will give more chances to stay longer. But sometimes couples do neglected how important the friendship effects and the influence to maintaining the lasting relationship. Thanks again Yulia. Hi Yulia, thanks for sharing.

Yaaa...it's not easy to maintain that friendship especially when we already knew that person for long time, and of course our feelings can change through time and something unpredictable things may happen even we never expect it will be. The more we know that person, the more we appreciate them and the more we comfortable with them, so as you say, "just a matter of time". If you comfortable just being friends than go ahead, and if you think you are falling into her/him, then you have to tell what you feel and see, does he/she feel the same way? Whatever the answers, please respect it - because you both start it with friendship. Hi Evorgleb, thanks for sharing.

I guess the women I pick to be "just friends" are too good looking and it become a "just a matter of time" kinda thing.
