I've been married 10 years and have met many women over that time who I've found incredibly attractive both physically and emotionally and who i have become good friends with. My wife has no unrealistic expectation that I will never look at another women throughout our entire relationship and I certainly wouldn't expect her to never become friends with other men. We trust each other completely. For a successful long term relationship I think this is essential. Obviously at the end of the day many people do betray such trust but that's the risk you have to take. You may get hurt. And if you're with someone you just can't trust then it's time to find someone else.
