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!
