My husband and I have been married for almost seven years and like most couples we fight.  About chores,  family, driving, sex and all that other stuff.  But our big one is, can men and women actually just be friends.
  I can count the number of female friends I have on one hand.  Most chicks just don’t like me.  I was told once that I didn’t act like a girl so I couldn’t be trusted.  I don’t know what that meant, but let’s be honest I don’t really give a shit either.  My view on friendship is simple…friends should be able to talk to one another about anything and agree to disagree if you have opposing views. 

TheHarry…

....& Sally concept is based on the movie “When Harry Met Sally” where Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are on their way to New York and debating whether men and women can truely be friends without any sexual strings.  Meg says yes and Billy says no.  So who is right?
  My husband has a huge problem with me having male friends that are just mine.  He believes that men are only friends with women because they are attracted to them.  My husband says I give off signals to men that maybe I might have an interest in them and that is why were friends.  He on the other hand has no women friends and thinks it’s the way it supposed to be.
  My problem is that I’m basically a guy with breasts and women hate me.  I find talking to men easier then women and I don’t have to watch what I say (I suck at that).  I think farts and burps are funny.  I think having the better put down is fun.  Just hanging out in an old pair of jeans is better then going out.  All of that crap makes men more open to having a friendship with me.
  My husband says it’s not that, it’s the idea that I give them attention so they think I want them and they might get something from me.  I say that is crap, all my buds know that I’m married and I’m not going that way.  Not to mention most of my buds are pretty good looking, what the fuck would they want with a fat chick with an attitude problem?
  SO he yells and I yell and we never get anywhere.  I have a few close male friends that I would love to invite to come over for dinner and cards, but it’s not worth it when you feel like your being looked at under a mircoscope the whole time.  The biggest bitch of it is, that when he looks at me I can tell he really loves me and he is actually kind of concerned one of them will see something in me that they like and I’ll see something back.  So I deal,  there are worse things.
  What do you think?  Can men and women just be friends or is there always an underlying sexual issue?
