Would you be ok if your boyfriend/girlfriend would be hanging out with someone of opposite sex alone?

[Anonymous]

Lets say your boyfriend/girlfriend has a new friend or coworker of the opposite sex. Would you be ok with them hanging out alone and texting often?

I don't mind if we have a good and trusting relationship with very open communication. I've had people on here say my trust in my woman is so naive. But I don't think they understand what we have. We're a very unusual couple. We can do things like tease each other when we start getting fat. It's laughs and hugs all the way. We have a new style of honesty that makes people say, "A husband shouldn't say that to his wife! A wife shouldn't say that to her husband!" It works. I'm pretty sure my wife doesn't cheat on me. And when I go out for dinner with one of my female colleagues or friends, I don't cheat on her either.

Going towards 12 years now of marriage and still going strong. Our style is very unusual with the degree of openness and honesty, but fidelity doesn't seem like an issue whatsoever.

Has anyone ever seen Bill Burr with Nia? We're like that. We can say what would make the worst, relationship-risking arguments and remarks between most couples and just laugh and hug. It's not perfect, for sure, but it's not at risk of falling apartment based on the trust we place in each other.

But I can tell her, for example, that I think another woman in our group is very attractive. She knows I'm not going to cheat. And she can tell me the same about a man in our group, and I know she won't either. We agree. It's all very, very unusual. But we started out as close friends who never imagined we would ever date each other. So we had that dynamic early on of confiding and trusting in each other, and that extended to the dating process, and living together, and so far into almost 12 years of marriage.

Generally, yeah- I wouldn't be dating her if I didn't trust her. I'd probably want to meet him at some point, though.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

If it's so innocent, why wouldn't he want you to meet her so you can see that's nothing going on?

[KasonBader]

I wouldn't care that much but I would bw cautious because they may be friends but either of them might want to be more, but don't make it obvious thatyou are being cautious about it.

[HighValue]

Nope. New opposite gender friends are unacceptable. I'd leave her over it and I'd expect her to do the same if the situation was reversed.

[Mdm617]

If they truly are just friends, then suggest that all three of you should hangout. If they refuse or are super wishy washy about the idea, then something weird is going on.

[worldscolide]

Not really, it's not appropriate for a partner of either sex to do that in a marriage or committed relationship. Especially if they feel the need to hide it.

[Wise4myage]

I wouldn't like that because it shows a lack of respect.

[jae_jae]

Only if I trusted the person they were hanging out with.

[Robh55]

HELL NO! Unless they're related.

[spartan55]

Don't think so.
