There's only one meter for me to go by... I have TONS of friends - most of which are of the opposite sex. A lot of them are emotional pillars... like if I'm mad at my husband, I call one of my friends and get a sanity check. Or, if I'm one second away from buying those $1,000 Jimmy Choo shoes, I call one of my friends for emotional support to bring me back to earth. Or if I'm just down and out and my husband is not able to support, I call one of my friends to cry on.
How do I know I'm not committing emotional infidelity? Because, for each and every one of them, I don't feel the need to "hide" it from my husband.
Believe it or not, you can have strong friendships with the opposite sex and still love your husband with all your being.
