What do folk think about males/females seeing their friends of the opposite sex alone when they are engaged/married to someone else?My fiance often visits female friends alone in their own home; do you think it has too much temptation; I should mention that some of these females have been people he was rejected by in the past.

I think you need to speak with your fiance and be open and honest about how this is making you feel. I would like to think that if the two of you are engaged then 'trust' should not be an issue. Do you know these female friends of his? Were they friends before you met him? If nothing is going on between them I don't see why you can't be included in some of these visits etc, however, you should be able to trust your finace to meet with these friends on his own as well. Be warned though that should you query your fiance's intentions and he gets defensive, I would seriously question why? Overall, there is nothing wrong with having friends of the opposite sex with attached. If you truly love someone and are committed to that person then having an affair is out of the question. However, should these friends of his want more than a friendship i.e. flirting, advances etc (from either side) then it would be good for that friendship to have some space or even cease. If something is tempting for the wrong reasons... STAY AWAY!
