Wait, do not throw a stone at me, is just one question, and is serious, my best friend offered him a date to let her husband go with me to a party at work, where everyone came with her husband or wife. Last year, to the new year party, all came with their wives or husbands, I did not want to go alone, and my friend offered to let the husband go with me, just to go; of course that I refused.i never accept something like this; not to borrow somebody husband for a party, and of course if i have a husband, i ll never borrow him to my good friend to go toghether to a party;is very strange for me, but for my friend is not so strange. For you is strange to borrow somebody else husband or wife, just to go to a party?

I would not borrow a husband for a party from a friend. That is very trusting of your friend to offer this arrangement to you. Still i would choose to aviod this because i would feel there could be problems later if the friend regretted this or became jealous. I would not wanna run the risk of losing a good friend because i borrowed her husband.

I never thought this would happen in real life.. I have seen a lot of movies like this borrowing, but strange to hear in real life, Actually i'm single and i don't have a girl friend, i wanted to go to disco and other dance programs, but i need a pair to enroll , so this kinda offerings are very good for young people like me..

Sorry but I don't go for borrowed items let alone a partner on loan. Women have no problem to find someone who is willing to be a partner in a party. But for goodness sake not a friend's husband or wife.

If only for one night like being an escort in a party that would be alright for me as long as my husband agree and the problem is if my husband would reject it so eventually she have to find another replacement. In case my husband agree it is still okay as long as he go home after the party is done and any extension would be a cause for suspicion. So far when it is only for a short time i would not be so jealous or so selfish i would permit it as it only test my trust on him if he could resist temptation so it really mean i could trust him. i like to test loyalty of a man in any cases i'll do it even it hurt this my way to test loyalty, respect and trust.

As long as those people in the party are aware that your husband was just an escort of that girl and nothing more, other wise they themselves will get suspicious about it. i agree that as long as respect and trust is there then there's no problem in lending him a bit.

My first thought is that is not something I could handle. I don't think I would ever let my husband go on what is essentially a date with one of my friends. However, my husband has accompanied my sister to the club before, but that is not a frequent thing and I really don't think it was weird at all - he needed a sober driver because he wanted to drink with some of his friends, I needed to get up early for work the next morning, and she wanted to go to see some of her friends.

No way!! It's too dangerous. You won't know what will happen when everyone is drunk.

I dont want to send my wife on loan or I dont want to be borrowed by somebody. Lwt us hope the system of borrowng the wife and husband will not come into force.

I'm not married, but if I was, I don't think I would accept this kind of proposition from another woman. I'm a conservative person when it comes to marriage and I don't think it's ok to share that intimacy with someone else, other than your husband or wife. That's why people shouldn't get married and have children when they are young; instead, they should take their time in exploring their feelings and sexuality.

I have a friend whose new husband is THE BEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD. I totally have hubby envy. I'm always asking to "borrow" him so he can fix me a meal, or take me somewhere or do some of the other nice things for me that he does for her.

I am pretty open-minded about most things. I trust my husband with every ounce of fiber in my being, but I would not lend him out as an escort to a party, even to my best friend. I think that would be setting your relationship up for disaster. I see no need to "tempt fate" by putting myself or my husband in a situation where there could be problems. Even if nothing happened between the friend and the husband, there would more than likely there would be someone to start rumors that something did. People like nothing better than to stir up trouble if they can.

When i read your first line of this discussion i was really thinking to throw a stone on you. But when i read your whole discussion then i feel relax. I will not allow my husband to go with other to any party. But if necessary then may be i will use my friend husband to go to the party. But only for going to the party nothing much my friend.

This is a very interesting topic. I have heard of similar situation, but even worst. Well, my aunt has two daughters. One is married and the other one is single. She wanted to go abroad. So she decided that she would take her sister's husband to the ambassy as her own husband. She did not see anything wrong with this, but everyone frowned at her. Her sister, however, was totally against it. But in your case, I feel that your friend trusts her husband a lot while keeping herself open-minded. I am not sure how this works.I heard that if things go out of control then the relationship turns into an open marriage and later divorce.

lolz... very weird to me though. Do you HAVE to have someone to go with you? I thought it is a work party and it doesn't REQUIRE to have a mate there right? if you dont want to go alone then bring a female friend. But if this party is required only couple then they should know that you dont have a couple so they should invite you. lolz... well, there is another way... do you have a guy friend? ask him to go with you.

Reading most of the responses that this discussion has generated so far, I would presume that most are females. And it seems that most, if not all of them, are not willing to loan off their husbands even for an hour. Ok, so this is a guy here, who has never been in a serious relationship before. But from my personal stand, if my best friend were to ask me for my wife/girlfriend for an hour just for a party, I would most probably say yes. Haha, yes, I know I'm different! My point is that if it's for a valid reason, I think it's fine. Besides, I am sure I will whole-heartedly trust my wife (and also my best friend) that they will not do anything "wrong". Both of them are accountable should they misuse that trust. But all in all, the most important thing is that my wife agrees to go to the party with my best friend. I am not a person who forces people!

That would just be all too weird because it may be taken out of context. Now if it was a married guy friend who offers to take me somewhere and the wife is perfectly fine with it, maybe I'll take up that offer. But not because I absolutely must have someone go with me, but only if I think the person will have a great time as well. and it wouldn't really be a dat. Then again, we should just be able to take our girlfriends with us.

Hello icesmile,well, that's fine i mean why bother borrowing him if he's not your husband. although i have a bit of experienced friends letting me borrow their gf() once and then pretend am the bf in front of the parents, iwould never do that again i swear it was too much

If she really need to have a date & there's nothing available,yeh i will, if my husband is also her friend...because most of my friends are my husband's friend too & they are very close to us & surely can trust on them. And i trust my husband too. AND OFCOURSE NO STRING ATTACHED. HE HE
