Even you are both married or one of you, its not a reason to stop yourself making freinds with others. I agree with Gloria marriage doesnt mean loosing self identity. Go out and meet others even in your opposite sex there's no problem with that.. If your talking about conservatism, then i probably guess that you dont have male freind coz you're conservative and you will ONLY allow ladies in your circle of freinds.

- you are absolutely right lukaret.
