      On the one hand, I think we do have a right to expect our partners to rely most on us emotionally, share most, be emotionally closest to us.

      On the other hand, you can't get every emotional need fulfilled by one person & expecting this leads to disatisfaction in relationships

      Also, the 'infidelity' aspect is highly subjective and always seems to come down to the potential for sexual infidelity, ultimately.

      I've always got most of my in-depth emotional support from female friends & one male friend who was gay. No male partner has ever objected.

      But if I were to have the same kind of close sharing friendship with a heterosexual man, I think this would be much more likely.

      Once a boyfriend said,'I'm jealous coz your minds work the same way' abt the male friend. On revealing that he was gay, jealousy gone.

      And how would it work with same-sex couples? Particularly women? Do other ppl see firm boundaries between couple sharing & friend sharing?

      Is the boundary between emotional closeness and emotional infidelity abt a sense of being 'in love' & does this always relate to sexuality?

      I cld see that I might find it a problem if my husband more emotionally open with another woman but harder to feel I had a right to object.

      That would seem like an unjustifiable possessiveness. At same time, I cld say I felt like that & try to fix it from my end or leave, Dunno?

      On other hand, if my husband shared more emotionally with a male friend, I'd not be threatened at all. I do this regularly re female friends

          This is all hypothetical, btw, in relation to someone else. Neither my husband nor I particularly emotionally expressive!

          Well, all of your replies indicate the same confusion I feel on the issue. Ppl talking abt all sorts of things from all sorts of angles.

          I think evolutionary psychology can offer answers. Lack of emotional exclusivity in some sense implies replaceability.

          Absolutely it can. Women are more likely to experience emotional jealousy and men sexual jealousy which makes perfect sense.
