To my LSU readers, have you ever heard of the term "Bromance?" Wisegeek.com defines bromance as being a very close friendship between two heterosexual men, classically two single heterosexual men. One individual commented on this article by saying, "Actually I'm a married heterosexual man and I am involved in two bromances. Both of the other men are also heterosexual and married. So it's not always single men involved." This ladies and gentlemen, is the issue I wish to elaborate on in this article. "Bromosexuality", in its purest sense often causes dissention between both partners in a committed relationship. In some cases, the male may spend- as I've stated in recent social networking posts- "every waking moment with their close male friend." This is a definite problem. For one, it causes the woman to feel as if she is not worth the time and attention. Also, it causes the woman to develop a hatred or (for milder words) a strong disliking, for her partner's friend, the individual who seems to have destroyed the bond between she and her boyfriend/husband. Most shocking is that some men jump ship in their relationship, to spend more time with their male friend and to alleviate themselves from the responsibility of treating their woman, like the special diamond she is (frequent calls, visits, outtings, etc.)
