We are fighting a bit of this right now.

We have had long time friends who 'expanded' to more friends when we were having a child. We are very good friends, and she has a husband that likes to tell me of their latest exploits. I don't really mind her having other playmates, thats to be expected, but when I hear she does things with other couples she won't do with us because they 'know us too well' it kinda hurts.

I think we are almost past this, but because of our close relationship and proximity to each other I think they take us for granted as playmates and we become the fall back couple when other plans don't happen or they can't find a sitter.

It is funny that I am more jealous of her than of my wife, but again, I know my wife, I know her motives, and I have no insecurities there.

I know this won't get to the 'unhealthy' stage, and we are seeing more couples now so that exclusiveness feeling is less of an issue as well, but I could see how a exclusive relationship could turn ugly in a hurry.
