Would you go out 1-1 with opposite gender if you already have a partner?

[Anonymous]

If you would, would you send your partner the picture of your friend you go out with?

If you wouldn’t, why?

[HawkPerception]

I honestly don't see an issue with it as long as you are not chilling with them more than you do with your partner and that your partner has already met them and deemed them as trustworthy. Otherwise, it's suspicious.

Despite what a lot of people may think, you can definitely just be friends with the opposite sex. There could be sexual attraction, but respect for boundaries. And just because you're sexually attracted to someone does not mean you would necessarily date them. You have to be compatible... at least for long term relationships.

If you trust your partner, and you trust the person they're going to chill with one on one, then it's okay. However I will also add that if I'm friends with a girl, I will make sure to always invite their partner to come along as I respect that they're a package deal. It's disrespect to the partner to not invite them.

It's not a total no. Let me explain:-

Whilst I wouldn't dream of going out to a club, or anywhere that could be construed a date, I have been out for bike rides with on of our mutual friends, when she needed to go shopping and asked if I was free to go with so I could look after the bikes.. Bike crime is terrible round our way!

It depends on the purpose.
If the other person is just a friend, maybe a friend I already had before getting engaged, why not?
If the other person is a random girl, I wouldn’t.

Exactly.

I go out with friends all the time...

they're just friends, and we're just hanging out, from time to time

[Asker]

But why would you hang out with your friend (especially opposite gender) frequently? You can do that with your partner instead

[NathanDavis]

no, that's now how it was...

I would hang out, go out, date and live with my girlfriend... we would things all the time, together

and it was with friends that I would catch up from time to time only, not as frequently as my girlfriends, lol

[Asker]

Catch up is acceptable.. but not like every 2-3 days everyweek

[NathanDavis]

I've never had that much time to go out three times every week, lol

[jahaims]

I have female friends and my wife has males friends. It is perfectly okay to spend time with them lol.

[Asker]

I would assume husb and wife is acceptable.. Not as much as when you are just a couple especially in early stage

[Staximus]

Definitely not

[avery58]

Nooo

[Astarlessnightsky]

sure.

[Asker]

Your partner is ok with that?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yes, of course.

[Iron_Man]

No lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely! why not?
