I appreciate your perspective on this Alan! We should definitely have more patience with each other and understand growth is not fast, it grows and that is beautiful. As far as the female friend thing, as I've mentioned , when I was younger I was not as secure, but due to me loving and trusting my own husband, I never had an issue with his female friends.

However, I knew a few women who do not trust men who have female friends anymore because it always led to an affair with said friend. It happens. Often. Sadly.
