If I didn't have male friends, I would have no friends at all! When I was working outside of the home, I would have lunch "with the guys". My DH and I worked at the same company and we had the same friends. He never cared. If I was still working outside the home, I would still hang out with my guy friends.

I do not go to movies and/or dinner with my guy friends without my DH though. It sucks because I miss doing things with friends but evening things or date like things are not okay because of hte "talk". My DH wouldn't care and I wouldn't care if he did it but the we know a lot of people around us and rumors would spread like wildfire.

Lunch with the opposite sex I see no problem with and luckily, neither does DH. He has gone to lunch to female co-workers...big whoop. A lot of the people from work are there anyway.
