A married man asked me as his friend, do you think is it appropriate?

it depends on your judgement.if he only just wants to make friends,why not.if it is not that simple,refuse it.

Hello. This is a very difficult situation indeed. I am a married man, but do have women as friends on other websites such as facebook. In some cases the women are mutual friends between my wife and I. Others are just social friends. You need to trust your best judgment. If this gentleman seems to be looking for more than just another friend to chat with you may want to be cautious. When in doubt, you always have the option to not accept the friend request. I have done this on facebook if I feel the situation may not be appropriate. Good luck with your decision.

Well, it is still appropriate NOW. But when you talk frequently, it is already a recipe for disaster. It is called emotional cheating.:-)

Hi, Betty! Making friends is not wrong, but you have to be very careful be it online or offline. Some people would say anything bad about their wives or husbands just to get attention. You have to know his real intentions are, if it is just a simple friend request, you can still cut him off once he crosses the line. However, when you said that he wants to make 'good' friends with other girls, that probably means he already has planned to have online affairs with other girls. It's not going to help the relationship between him and his wife, but things will get worse if his wife finds out what he is doing. Let him settle his problems with his wife the right way.

i think, its ok to befriend him but you must consider some limitations. remember that he is a married guy with a problem regarding his wife. he just wants to share his feelings towards his wife. You can give him advices what to do. there are certain cases that if u befriend a married guy, there's a tendency that you may feel a certain feeling like you will miss him. then it will lead to something not good, remember that he is married and has only a problem. i hope you got what i am pointing out. just a piece of advice, put some limitations. i know you are big enough to know this. hope this will help you. have a nice day bettydeng5.

Well, to each her own. As an adult, you can make your own decision. Is he being lonely without being dangerous as well? Is he longing for someone's warmth to take away the loneliness and emptiness? If you want to get involved, know what you are doing. Pay the price and get the goods!

If he specifically said he wants to make friends with other girls because his wife doesn't understand him, that sounds like no good to me. Having one female friend online is one thing. He sounds like he's looking for something more than that.

As long as his "chatting" stays innocent, I see nothing wrong with it. However, one statement you made raised my eyebrows. That was that this man's wife can't understand his feelings. That is a common line from men who just want to cheat on their wives. I know. I've heard it before from a married man and he wanted more than just friendship! (He didn't get more, though. He didn't even get my friendship.)

I'd say that you should be cautious with this man. It honestly sounds to me like he wants more than friendship. These types have no intention of leaving their wives, either. They want whatever they can get from other females.

The clue is his telling you that he works very hard. Since he works hard, why doesn't he spend the time with his wife that he uses to be online? If his wife doesn't understand him, they should go to a marriage counselor, not try to find someone else online!

Be careful with this guy.

Hello betty. In my opinion i would not advice you to get to meet this married guy. This could only go wrong. He says that he wanted to have other female friends. That is a sign he want more than a friend.
If you talk to him you should advice him to talk to his wife, and try to solve things with her.
