Should I feel bad about hanging out with a guy friend when I am married?

[skuolstuff]

I have a platonic friend from class. We sometimes get together and do homework for our really tough math class (Abstract Algebra). It is nice to have him as a resource for this class since the material is soooo, well, abstract and he is good at it. But, I sense that my husband is starting to feel a little jealous when I get together with him. I have no attracting to my friend other than just wanting to be classmates. Today, however, I mentioned I wanted to go jogging and my friend asked if he could join me, I did not see a problem in that so I went home and mentioned it to my hubby where he went from a good mood to a crabby mood. My husband's response to this made me feel as if I am doing something wrong. Am I?
Thanks for everyone's honesty. I think you are all right, it is emerging on inappropriate and I am going to take care of that before it gets out of hand. And the last thing I want to do is upset my husband even if I dont think I doing anything wrong.

If it was the other way around, how would u feel? Even though there is no romantice feelings on your side, it might be a tiny bit innapropriate. Even though im sure your husband loves and trusts u, why aggravate it?

well would you get jealous if your husband was hanging out with another woman allot other than you?? if not then i think if you truly have no feelings for this guy and your just classmate Friends then reassure your husband that you are just that Friends and nothing more good luck

Even though you know this guy and know there is no attraction, your husband doesn’t know him. He has every right to feel uncomfortable.

What you need to do is introduce this guy to your husband in a social setting. That way he can see how you interact and see that there is nothing going on. Then when you say I’m meeting John Doe to study, he knows who you are talking about and is cool with it.

Edit---

I can’t believe people are saying that it is ok to have a study friend but not go jogging. Maybe I’m just modern but what do they think is going to happen? You don’t fall in love with him while studying but the sweat from his forehead while jogging is going to make you fall deep in love? Please. I had study buddies that were also male (some female). We would go grab starbucks during breaks in class while we were not studying. I did that for the seven years of school (undergrad and grad) and never cheated or had anyone express interest.

If you can't trust yourself enough to go jogging with someone and not cheat or cross lines then you are WAY too immature to be in a relationship to begin with.

These things have the ability to develop and he is feeling threatened. Why not respect his feelings enough to find a female friend for help with algebra? You would want the same from him if the tables were turned.
