Is it right for a married man to be texting another woman everyday, even if its all innocent and they are just friends. ??

And if not, why not?

I don't see why not. No-one would say no if it was a man texting another man so why should a woman be any different if there is nothing more to it.

For my married man, no.

I don't care what others do.

Sure, why not? DH has a female friend he's known since uni. I wouldn't bat an eye if they texted every day. Maybe they do, I wouldn't know because I don't scrutinise his phone or our phone bills.

I'm with Johnfarley .

Dont see anything wrong with it.

I wouldn't be happy if my dh did it. I think it means there's a level of emotional dependence / intimacy that I think is a bit dangerous. I'd hope that the woman who texts him most is me!

Depends what they're texting about and how prolific a texter your DH is with other people.

Everyday? No, I wouldn't be happy with that. It shows too much of a connection with that person and could easily become an affair.

If people don't mind that would be up to them. I would certainly object. Every day. I agree that it implies emotional dependence and could easily turn into an affair.

Too little information to judge really. Texting about what exactly? Doing it openly or in secret? Woman in question part of the family social circle? Old flame? Colleague? Willing participant or being reluctantly stalked?

It wouldn't worry me at all if it was my DH. He's got female friends that pre-date me by years and I've no idea how often they're in contact. He's also good friends with several female colleagues and they text / meet for drinks, etc. I guess it boils down to the fact that I totally trust him.

Yes it's alright.

Unless they are fucking each other as well as texting.

I whatsapp a group of friends daily. They happen to be women but if they were men id be annoyed if dh was not happy.

Dh regularly texts work clleagues (not about work). Some of them are women, sme are men.

No it's not right. Why does he need to text everyday ? ?

If jt's all open and above board I don't expect my dh to socially isolate himself from members of the opposite sex.

He goes to work all day with other women, and talks to them, as I do with other men.

why not? i do it often

I trust my dh, cheers.

It would be totally out of character for him to be texting anyone every day.

I get 'on the 18.20' text most days from him. I wouldn't be impressed if he was communicating more than that to someone else.

"If jt's all open and above board I don't expect my dh to socially isolate himself from members of the opposite sex."

Yes, but in this scenario, the guy is texting the same woman everyday. A bit much really!

Few men text ANYONE every day.

I text my dh every day.

I text male and female friends sometimes daily sometimes not.

but I love texting! It's my fav method of communication although love a get together. Not so keen in phone chats.

Time, I still stand by what I said.

I trust my dh, and if/when I don't, it's game over.

I don't own him, and if he chooses to go off with someone else, he can and will.

Are you the "it's just innocent" recipient of these texts OP? And starting to feel uneasy?
Either way, I would say trust your gut.

He has got a male friend he texts everyday aswell, and he does me.
They text about allsorts he said, kids, computers, nothing inappropriate he's promised.
He has female friends he goes out with and I've never had any problem with it , nor him with me.
I dont think for one minute he'd ever have an affair, and I've explained my worries about an EA and he says that's not what's happening.
I was just a bit uncomfortable with it being everyday and trying to work out if I'm justified or feeling a bit frumpy mum in nursing bras for the last six months.

Every day? Wow, he sure does think about this person a lot.
