which one are you?

Which one are you? The unmarried heterosexual male or the other person? And, if you are the other person, are you married? I have a dear male friend who is unmarried and I often wonder about this same question. It's hard if there is an attraction there, though. I have 4 brothers, so always have gotten along pretty well with guys in a platonic way. I am married and my husband doesn't seem to mind that I have this friend. I guess it depends on the people involved. I think it's very hard if there is an attraction on either party's part, though. The thing is, though, I get jealous when my male friend is interested in other people, even though I don't have that right. I think I am worried about losing his company, which is selfish on my part.
