It's certainly not an untouched subject, but a complex one, to say the least.

I have a very trusting relationship with my fiance, but I hesitate when given the opportunity to hang out with a boy "friend" without him. I instantly feel the need to let him know where I am/what we're doing and invite him to join. But I do know one thing; it's not guilt. I'm not doing anything wrong...but why the hesitation?

Considering this somewhat controversial subject I very much believe that when you are in a mutually respectful relationship and you truly care for the other person, the last thing you'd want is for them to feel as if they are not your first choice.
My ultimate determination is that I'd never want my fiance to feel that I want to hang out with any man more than I want to hang out with him...and I don't. Ever. Love you baby.
