Would you cut off all opposite gender friendships after marriage?
After you get married, would you cease being friends with all non mahrem friends of the opposite sex? Would you cut off all contact with non mahrem friends of the opposite sex?
Do you already not have contacts (and or friendship) with any non mahrem of the opposite sex because you think its haraam and/or bad and/or a zina-trap?
How would you break it to the person? Would you just block them online? what would you say in real life?
Discuss.

Of course, if the lucky guy felt uncomfortable, I'd totally cut off all contact with every male firend and not think anything of it.

Why's it any more wrong after marriage than before?

Re: Would you cut off all opposite gender friendships after marriage?
Before we even considered getting married, I was straight up honest with my husband and told him, that I have male friends and it's something he'll either have to accept or move along. He too has female friends, which I am completely fine with. Of course the friendships do change after marriage, even same-gender friendships change after marriage.

Re: Would you cut off all opposite gender friendships after marriage?
just friends? are you refering to co-workers/classmates. majority of the time, i interact with girls, and at odd occasions i do communicate with male classmates/ co-workers while keeping my limits in mind and i speak with to them when there is a dire need to do so, and if after marriage, mr. o_O finds my extended networking irritating, and unbearable, i'll cut it off just to make the poor guy happy. ideally, i'd expect him to be more open-minded than making silly demands such as this.

Re: Would you cut off all opposite gender friendships after marriage?
I guess it really depends. But in most cases it's easier to cut them off. Or at least buddy them up with you hubby/wifey. I hopefully won't have that problem.

what she said.
so i'm not really worried about the friends i have of the opposite gender. because i don't have many. most are just classmates i knew in high school that i still see around campus every now and then.
despite having said that, i doubt my husband would bother tell me that my friendliness with the opposite gender irritates him when most likely he'll be doing the same thing at work or whatever. if that's really what happens, i'm not marrying the man  . practice what you preach, sucka.

No she meant asking her hubby to be (insha Allah). No one would confide in you (unless they were really really stupid)
