    i would say it depends on your and your wifes relationship. i know some married people dont talk to the opposite sex unless for work or whatever, and other couples have a more open marriage. if you know it would make your wife uncomfortable or upset, i think its great that you only reply to males successes here. home life comes first :) and there are plenty of other people here to congratulate each other too!

    I think it depends. I would never make a comment I wouldn't feel comfortable hearing come out of my husbands mouth to another woman. Great job, you look great, or holy crap are acceptable to me... sayinf holy **** I'd hit that or something like that.. not cool

    :wink: Being a married man I don't believe your wife would be thrilled that you compliment women on a site that is suppose to be there to encourage you and be a tool for your own success. I would keep it to only communication with guys. If you feel like your being disrespectful changes are your instints have already started kicking in.

    I try not to do or say anything that I wouldn't do or say if my husband was standing right next to me. I know him well enough to know what would make him uncomfortable.

    There's nothing wrong in congratulating someone in their success. I think as long as you're being respectful and tateful, there are no problems. I'm married myself, and one of my best friends is a guy. I have a lot of guy friends. That's just how i've been my whole life. But i'm honest with my husband and he's ok with my talking to other guys. I work at a gym too where i'm constantly talking to guys and congratulating them on their sucess. So i wouldn't worry about it. Gold star for you though for being concerned!

    I don't think there's anything wrong with commenting on the opposite sex. This site...for me...is somewhere I can go where there is tons of people going through the same struggle..Losing weight. I have been married for 7 years myself. As long as your comments are not sexual. It's all about the approach. I have a mix of friends and am strictly commenting on their boards, pics, status, etc. as a tool for support. Nothing more.

    and commenting on a member of the opposite sex's success story posts?

    I admit, I love checking out the success story posts; they're so inspiring. There are some people who've had some amazing, life-altering changes. I'll always comment on a guy's post because, I'm a guy and we need to encourage one another, but if it's a girl I won't. Being married, I wouldn't want to give my wife any doubts. Am I being overly cautious or respectful?

    I think this is admirable and your wife must really appreciate that fact that you respect her enough to guard yourself from other women. Your eyes SHOULD be only for her so I'll give you my opinion on this.
    As others have said, ask your wife her opinion on this. Chances are this will be her response: If the poster doesn't have all kinds of near naked photos of herself or anything that could be considered a "sexy" pose, it would be ok to respond with a positive response to their progress.
    I have the same healthy respect for my husband. I do not respond to posts of men or women that have provocative photos and rarely accept friend requests from men unless they are married also, and most of those that are married, their wives are on this site as well.

    I go for the standard: "Congratulations!"

    That way, nobody can try to say I was being flirty or whatnot.
