Would you ever let your boyfriend meet your female friends?

[Haha456]

most common form of cheating is that he cheats with her best friend.

[HighValue]

They shouldn't be friends with homewreckers or cheaters. If they are then it is partially their own fault when something bad happens to their relationship since they purposely brought those kinds of people into their lives.

I have a rule that when in a relationship, if your SO isn't present, you shouldn't be letting their friends in or hanging out with them. I refuse to go inside of a house of an SO's friends if she isn't there with me, and I wouldn't let them in mine either. It is easier to prevent potential problems or even misunderstandings than it is to repair damage after the fact.

There are many reasons people climb mountains, but the one reason that is NOT why they do is to see the mountain; when you're so close to something that you're on top of it, you CAN'T see it- not for all that it is, anyway. It's no different from being in a relationship; when you're THAT closely involved with someone, you're too close to see what may be glaring flaws to someone (or, on the other hand, what may be great virtues). Letting your partner meet your friends and your family can give you some real insight into them by having people who know you give their perspective.

And bluntly, if they're going to cheat on you, it's better to learn quickly, before you get too attached.

Ofc, my exes met my besties. No cheat.

My bestie's ex asked me to be his girlfriend after they broke up and been textin me a lot while they were still together. I declined him.

Its all about every person's characters. doesn't need to always about our girlies. If they attracted to new girls while he's still having a girlfriend, and still wanna make them 'mine', then he's sick.

[Brando10222]

Exactly! I agree with you.

[bubblegunnn]

🥂 cheers

[Haha456]

Its not as much as individual character as much as it is extremely common.

[bubblegunnn]

Then so many sick boyfriend's out there

[Brando10222]

Cheers 🥂

[Haha456]

it happens more with boyfriends dating his girlfriend's exes than vice versa.

[Haha456]

it happens more with boyfriends dating his girlfriend's best friend**** than vice versa.

[Brando10222]

Best friend is a b**** too. Isn't it?

[Haha456]

@Brando10222

For me, its not the fact that my boyfriend is dating my best friend that is the worst part. The worst part is the all the trauma that comes along with it. Emotionally this can permanently scar me a lot. I can have trust issues or doubts in any of my relationships moving forward. Thats why i think this is such a serious matter. Personally I would never ever let my husband or my boyfriend meet any of my female friends. You can accuse me of not having any trust in my significant other. But even if I trusted my man, I would never put myself in a position to risk myself experience something like that so traumatizing.

[Brando10222]

Yeah, I agree with you. But hey, if a person has ro cheat than he/she will find a way to do it. You are over thinking

[Blackcupcake]

I don’t have a boyfriend nor plan on dating anyone so I guess that solves the cheating issue. now if I ever went more crazy and got in a relationship, I would introduce him to any close friends I have at the time no matter what gender they are.

[Faith18letsgo]

That’s not true most people when they cheat don’t cheat with there partners best friend. And yes absolutely. My girlfriends are good judges of character I’d want to know if they didn’t like him.

[Kori1236]

I mean I’m not seeing anyone currently. But yeah they meet my friends, simply because most of my friends are considered family and I won’t be ditching them for a guy.

[Anonymous]

Seeings how all my female friends are trans women, I don’t think so. Plus my partner is demisexual so I doubt he would cheat on me unless he stopped loving me, and at that point the relationship would already be over and therefore it’s not cheating.

[sunflower00]

Yeah of course. He’s met all of my friends, why wouldn’t he? It would be weird if he had never met them in my opinion. I trust him so why not

[FilmGuy93]

I doubt that’s the most common form of cheating lol but I think the idea of letting your friends meet your partner is a necessary evil, but not great in any case

[EmmaMary]

Quite naturally my boyfriend (now husband) got to meet the majority, if not all of my female friends.

[Mybeachlife8888]

Have you ever caught him looking at any of your friends, pretty much checking them out? If so…. Did it bother you?

[EmmaMary]

@Mybeachlife8888

Absolutely, however if you have faith and trust in your partner, then I don't see a problem.

[spartan55]

@EmmaMary
You are giving me faith that there are women who get it.

[EmmaMary]

@spartan55

That's most kind of you to say so... Thank you.

[spartan55]

@EmmaMary
You are welcome!

[DermalPunch]

Nope! Very rare a women best friend is truly a friend. Especially when it comes to the realm of you and your man.

[Jdjfjcjj]

If you feel such action is necessary, perhaps you should have spent more time qualifying the guy before you committed to a relationship with him.

[Jdjfjcjj]

My response is wrong. Actually, he could be a seemingly great guy but if you've been cheated on in the past, it's understandable to consider this. It gets to a point sometimes where you just waiting for it to happen so he can prove you right and you can say I knew it would happen, guys just can't be trusted.

Doing this can become a self fulfilling prophecy though. Good luck

[Anonymous]

No. I don’t trust female friends at all. Unless I’ve known them for YEARS (Two of my best friends) and know they’re respectful of me and my boundaries and have their own things then maybe yes I would introduce them.

[Mybeachlife8888]

Have you ever had a friend mention how they would totally F your boyfriend?

[Opinion Owner]

No but I’ve had a “friend” message them multiple times behind my back :)

[Mybeachlife8888]

Damn that’s wild you women can’t be trusted

[musicbrain5]

Of course. He’s met all of my friends at some point.

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely. My husband knows all my female friends.

[spartan55]

If my girlfriend pulled that crap she would get the gate... such bullshit.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Well most of them. He'll meet my respectful and loyal friends, the funny friends, the caring ones, but NOT the lewd ones. No way.

[linka_pat307]

A relationship meant to last forever will no matter the persons around... so why not... my friends obviously have to know him

[CloudMassacre]

I think at some point it would start to become weird if she just never let me be around her friends

[PainusNdeeAnus]

I don’t let anyone im dating meet my friends they’re all taller , richer , funnier and better looking I say that not in a homoerotic way but as an acknowledgement of my competition

[Sanamina]

Then those are not people u want to be dating or be friends with.

[DancingQueen16]

Sure because my boyfriend is friends with other girls and I don't mind

[snackthatsmilesback]

Ya, one even lives w us. I'm not worried. He's not even into women.

[Strangerdanger2120]

Yeah, but I'm a loner so, I really don't have friends just acquaintances.

[TroyDT2]

Why do people date people whom they do not trust?

[BJP21]

Listen I have guy friends and I have girlfriends, we can coexist at the Bar and not have to worry about that kind of stuff.

[lorenagshi]

Yes I know my friends are loyal and I would be more than happy tbh one thing I'd be scared is them hating him... they don't really like the guy I like as for now

[Mangospacho]

No way. Once he’s in a relationship, he shouldn’t even speak to or look at another female

[sirderpsalot123]

Why would you be with someone that you don't trust?

[sirderpsalot123]

Or be friends with someone you don't trust.

[24_7_Amazing]

I met the friends of the girl I was dating but it was awkward

[Anonymous]

I don't have female friends, or any friends at that, haha 😀

[melanieeeB]

Of course!!! I'm not an insecure woman lol

[rienna888]

hell no, go find ur own man

[Kingofkings1992]

I don’t see an issue with it

[LovingJo]

Why not?

[Agape93]

Yeah

[Mybeachlife8888]

Who wouldn’t? Do you actually know girls that are this possessive?

[Agape93]

None that I'm aware of. I don't like controlling behaviors and jealousy. Anybody I date, my friends will meet them.

[Becky316]

Yes I would

[Mybeachlife8888]

Do you have friends who you wouldn’t trust around your boyfriend alone? I only ask because I remember the girls at your age and I wonder if you feel the same way I do.

[Becky316]

He knows all my friends and knows that there are a few that I would definitely not trust THAT much

[Mybeachlife8888]

What about the opposite. Have you met his guy friends? Have you ever caught any of them looking at you a certain way?

[Becky316]

We both have seen them kinda leering at me, I don't mind guys looking as long as they don't try anything

[Mybeachlife8888]

Understood, taking it a step further…. Have any of these friends that you’ve noticed looking at you been attractive? Even if you’re completely happy is it more awkward when you find them attractive?
