Married women having male "friends" is not such a hot idea. Get yourself some lady friends whom you can confide in. You and he should seek to socialize with other couples . . . jointly.

I disagree. I do not think friends should be of one sex or the other. I have been friends with some of these people way longer than I've known my husband. One of them has been in my life for almost 25 years. I had female friends and he didn't like them, either.
We socialize with other couples but we live in a small area and most of our friends like 44 mins to an hour away, so it does not happen very often. Also, we are at that age where everyone we know is having kids and they are too busy being parents to do much hanging out. I am not a kid person and neither is he. So we are very limited in our choices.
Also, he is an introvert by nature and tends to not want to be social, so any time we are out and being social, it is me doing the carrying and him feeling left out. He would rather be at home playing guitar. And if he doesn't go out, he does not want me to, either, because JEALOUSY.
Are you seeing a pattern here?
