if you were happy to watch hollyoaks I'd suggest she was perfectly safe from any unwanted attention from you

Your wife has trust issues, there could be many reasons for this.. Rational or irrational we'll never know. If you love her like you should do you'll be emotionally sensitive enough to work them through.

Not really. I think I just managed to find "a person" who wanted a relationship with me, but was prepared to accept that wasn't going to happen, so contented him/herself with a platonic friendship.
I also managed to stay friends with most of my exes (I accumulated quite a few while I was going through my "must be normal, must be straight" phase) until they met someone else who didn't like us being friends.

It's just a matter of negotiation between the parties involved. For the record, I sometimes ( though not recently ) go out at night with a complete bunch of weirdos and hang about briefly to wee on Clapham Common on Friday nights. My wife is not happy.
I sometimes venture further to a city with a large Gay population. It's a worry!

I would point out we're not a complete bunch of weirdos. Not every weirdo is able to attend.

Normal is not even in the vocabulary with you lot.

Just make sure that when you are riding with your new found friend you practice safe cycling, wear a helmet and take lubrication to stop chaffing.

Absolutely acceptable so long as she is old, ugly, and poor!
It's great to have friends of the opposite sex, I have had many. But it can also be dangerous, I ended up married to one of mine. Anyone who is slightly insecure could have reasonable cause for concern, especially if you have more in common with the friend than you do with your partner.
