If you are married as a woman and a man gifts you something, would you take it?

If you are a married woman and a man gifts you something would you take it? As for me I would take it, if it doesn't involve something else. There is nothing wrong with receiving it, it isn't a bad thing right? After all it just a gift. Gift is gift. If you are a married woman would you take it or refuse it?

I believe it is not just a gift. It gives a message from a man to a married woman. It can be misunderstood by her and her husband. It can even sow a seed of mistrust between them.

Yeah, the husband might not be okay with another man gifting his wife something.

It depends on why the gift was being given …..for Birthday, Christmas , as a thank you etc. then yes of course that’s fine. If it was obviously for another reason then no I wouldn’t take it ….im not interested.

I’ve been offered gifts from married men who want to cheat on their wives. I never accepted, because I am happily married and my husband would be hurt. I only accept gifts from male friends and family, who my husband knows.

As a married woman you don't need to accept gift from men you don't know or those that want to be your friend.

I am a married woman and I have taken a lots of gifts from men in the last 24 years of my marriage. They were close friends and family. So, it really depends on the gift and the person who is gifting. If the intentions are right, why not? I keep gifting many of my men friends on their birthdays and such occasions.

I asked Yvonne about this Yvonne said she would not take it. Because it likely would eventually be about him wanting " something else"

if that man is your friend and gave you gift for an occasion then i think there's nothing wrong with that. But if the man who gave you is a stranger or you just know this person but you are not close to him then i will refuse to get the gift. It's important to respect your husbands feelings.

You are absolutely right. But in some cases, your husband wouldn't allow you collect anything from a man even if the man is your course mate or someone you know very well. In such cases what do you do refuse it? Which might hurt his feelings.

If I were already married, and a man who was not my husband tried to give me a gift, I would not take it unless it was also from his wife or girlfriend.

@augusta123 My husband does not tell me what to do. He can except a gift from another women it is all considered friendship. You need friends from both sexes.

If the occasion fits in the gift giving then there's no reason to refuse receiving a gift. Also if the intention is purely no hidden agenda. Well, why not it's a gift, I might say kindly gave it to my husband because that's so heavy for me to carry. Lol! hahaha But yes, there's also need to consider as well especially when you married a man that gives meaning to everything then probably better refuse than escalating things that will turn to misunderstanding.
