what!? the only reason to let your wife date other men ( or women for that matter ) is if you are dying; in which case i hope it is quick & painless and you have lived all your dreams into reality; but dude, really. UNTILL DEATH DO WE PART means after you die. answer: after you die is when to let your wife date.

Why dont you discuss it with your wife.  You said that she is a sweetie, work it out with her.

That's a sin some where. And any way would you like you wife to cheat on you? "Do into others as you have them do into you" Get it think about that  for awhile!

I think that there is not a problem with her going as long as you are comfortable with it. I think that you have a right to be uncomfortable particularly if they were together for a long time. I think that she should try to include you in some way. I can understand that she feels that you don't trust her but you are her husband so you should be included if not the first time but at least sometime like a double date or something.

You need to be honest to both women, You just got back with your wife, don't let her hear this from anyone but you. This is the fastest way to ruin trust. Be nice to the Friend, tell her you like her but only want to be friends. You can also tell her that you may be working things out with your wife. Don't let both women think you have been leading them on. you can loose your wife for good and that doesn't sound like what you want. Tell HER Now. Marriage is a blessing and your wife's feelings should come first. if the friends gets mad then so what. At least your wife knows you're not trying to play games with her.

Be very patient, this is the time when she needs you to be by her side and just understand, even if you have no real clue about what’s going on. Take the time out to (listen) to what ever she has or want to tell you. This is your time to be supportive, be the man she married and stay true to your vowels.

Look, let me share what i think here...You STILL have not mentioned any GOOD reasons for a divorce...Being attracted to other women, first of all, is pretty natural for men. Resisting that temptation is part of the vows you took. also, you say she recently was diagnosed with Diabetes. Again, this is when your wife needs you the most. I can understand not wanting that kind of responsibility, but again, that's part of the vows. And lastly, the peach fuzz thing is hardly worth mentioning, EXCEPT that it reveals the fact that you are afraid your wife will let herself go in all areas, if she hasn't already done so. It just seems to me there are some deeper issues stirring around here, and it might be worthwhile to really examine what you're feeling.\nI can see where you're coming from, But I think divorce is a hasty idea for you. As much as we don't like to admit,  ANY relationship is hard work sometimes. This is one of those times. The trick is NOT to give up. If you do that, all you'll ever do is start over again and again, and mistake the lust for new people for the possible real connection you could keep with your wife. \nYou loved her enough to marry her, after all. Try to work it out and good luck.

She walked away from the marriage, giving you the right to start a new one. So, go date..have fun and enjoy life with your kids.

I have seen it happen! It happened to my neighbor and they are happily married for 4 years now. You can tell if you are compatible with someone by talking with them. Just make sure that you are always honest whether you think that person will like you for it or not. After all you want them to love the real you, not who they think you are.

Never! Even if she is unhappy in her marriage, you do NOT have the right to interfere. There are enough unattached people in the world. Find one of those. Think about her family. Does she have children, who will be affected by this? Do you want to start a relationship with someone who is willing to betray her current husband? Could you ever trust her not to do this with someone else? Be realistic. Lastly, would you want someone to do this to you?

Depends how serious you are with them.  If it's casual dates, then go out with 2 or 3.  If you are boinking one, it's not right to date others.

Let your wife handle it.\n\nMake sure she knows, in private, how much you love her, every day. Otherwise, it is truly between her and the person hitting on her.You don't own her, so it is none of your business.\n\nIf it turns out that she likes to flirt (I'm not suggesting that she does), then that is an issue between you and her, and has nothing to do with the man hitting on her. If you and your wife ever have an issue around this, handle it privately.\n\nIn short, you do nothing because you have no relationship or connection with the man hitting on your wife. You have a relationship with your wife, and he is interacting with her, not you. You and he are completely disconnected. (It may take a while to fully accept that, but you can and should consider it carefully, please).\n\nFurther, this issue has NOTHING to do with your ethnicity or your wife's appreance. The moment you think it has, you are playing a losing game. Good luck!

How many dates is a couple?\nTo me that means only TWO.\nYou are both adults with kids, slow down. Allow the kids to get to know each other, take them into consideration, it is not only you two this move would change.\n\nThis will affect their lives too. Make time to introduce the kids on Weekends, Holidays, go to dinners together and at any old time. Get them comfortable with each other, at the same time you will begin to learn all the things you would have never found out about the other person.\n\nKids are straight foward little people. You could never pretend to be someone else around them your kids will sell you out at the drop of a hat.\n\nTrust me I know.

I guess talk to her to set dating guidelines. But if you have established that the relationship is over then she is allowed to date &  you just have to accept that. I'm sorry. If there is a chance of getting back together, than you need to discuss this with her rationally. If you have children than it's important that you two can still communicate.

Don't do that. Never force or convience anyone who is not \nready. If you are a real man or gentleman you will put her\nfeelinga into consideration. She will eventually come around. Understand men and women are dofferent. Their timing\nis different. Please be understanding with her. If you love\nher you will understand.

It depends on what you mean by boyfriends. \n\nYou can date more than one person at a time (and I'm not talking about having a sexual relationship with any of them) if they all know where they stand and that they are not the only one. Too many kids these days think that they have to be mutually exclusive almost immediately. What happened to playing the field? \n\nWhen I met my husband I was being asked out by several nice guys. I was getting to know them and we were enjoying doing things and each other's company. They all knew I went out with other people and they all knew where they stood. And they were willing to date on those terms. It is very healthy. The purpose of dating is to meet and learn about all types of people. You learn what you want when you date different people. It has nothing to do with a fear of commitment. When you meet the right one then you become exclusive. And when I'm referring to dating I'm talking about something most people would find alien-dating without sex. Most people jump into that without knowing a great deal about who they are being intimate with. Big mistake. \n\nFor your question-it depends on her motivation. And as long as she is honest with them and they know where they stand.
