Some of these men are smooth operators. Women giving out money, assisting in grocery shopping, etc. The game has changed. This couple has been married for 19 years and the wife is slighted because her husband's female friends are showing him a little too much love. His days are free because he works at night. This guy is smart...he said "I was raised by a single mother, and aunt so all I've been around was women." If I ever (which I won't) think to pull this on my woman, I'm going with this excuse. It worked for him, why wouldn't it work for me? His story seems to be common among most men: Grew up around women so he has a valid reason for being overly loving towards female friends. When a man takes a woman to be his wife, his woman is priority #1; everything else 2nd (with the proper exception of Jesus). He may not have given his wife a reason to mistrust him, but other women doing for him raises red flags.
Women know women, and men know men. Women know when another woman is trying to push up on her man. Very few women, if any, would tolerate another lady trying to take what's hers. Think about it: Another woman is doing things for a married man that the wife should be doing. These women are getting more bold by the hour. I smell competition between the wife & these other women. From a man's perspective, Steve brought up a good point: No man in his right mind would turn down things that another woman is paying for, let alone do for another woman without expecting a return on investment. Any married man would have a problem with his woman receiving money from another man, because that would make him (the married man) think he can't take care of his woman. A man prides himself on being able to care for his lady. If the script was flipped, he'd be calling for her to sever all ties with her guy friends.
He may or may not be cheating on his woman, I don't know. The wife has good reason to feel the way she does, and if I'm him...to avoid any drama, I would just keep contact professional between these women friends of his.
