ding ding ding!!

It isn't "real life" hugging but it may still be "hugging" to a jealous wife.

Your friend needs to be aware that a little "hugging" on the internet can ignite a fuse to something
like mistrust or even a broken relationship and then she is going to say "I was just hugging him
on the net", but the damage will be real none the less.

And if the guy knows his wife doesn't like it he needs to be able to tell your friend to "STOP IT"
and end it right there also.

When it comes to relationships things start little and can get big real quick.

Word for her.....been there done that!

if the wife is jealous because of this "internet hugging", then:

a.) the wife is really way way way too jealous and he is probably better off without her neurotic ass

or

b.) there are much larger problems, and this is just the catalyst


Right,

a.)Tell him to ditch his wife because she is jealous and doesn't like him to "cyber-hug" and in real
person hugging another woman.

b.) there are larger problems so go ahead and hug away. That will fix the problem.

Throw gas on the fire........that always fixes the problem.

if the wife is that jealous, she's got issues she needs to work out. there's no sense enabling her by withholding friendly gestures. christ, online hugs? that wife is a psycho, she's got major animus problems. there's nothing wrong with hugging close friends of the oppisite sex. my friends and family have always hugged each other, or even kissed on the cheek, and no one got all jealous.
