Yes, outside of my support group, I don't have any male friends. As for the men in my support group I have always talked about what kind of things were said during meetings and afterwards when everyone socializes. Again, I don't need to go into specifics but letting him know that one guy might haave talked about girl trouble another talked about their car, etc I am giving the message that I am being open. I think to do otherwse might make him feel uncomfortable. (naturally he knows that some stuff can't be discussed outside of group but I think simply saying so and so is really having a bad time or such thing soothes those hackles from rising up).

So yes, I think it's okay to go and have a male friendship - just as long as it is within boudaries
