I'd be ok about it as long as he had friendship boundaries, and didn't cross mine.
Hanging around with a member of the opposite sex, or being alone with them doesn't determine if a person will cheat or not. Their character, and self-control does. If opportunity controls someone's loyalty then there their moral compass is questionable. They'd also lack self-control and willpower
I believe in these types of situations people need to set boundaries , so their partner doesn't feel disrespected or humiliated. Their partner's feelings should always take priority over a friends. For example; if I hung out with a male friend, and my boyfriend was uncomfortable with that , I'd respect his feelings by changing my behaviour. I would no longer hang out with my male friend when I was alone. It's not always about trust issues, it's to do with respecting relationship boundaries, and knowing when you've crossed that line.
Just because you trust someone that doesn't give them the right to put you in uncomfortable positions , or disregard your feelings. I'd never have sex or sexual contact with another guy when I'm in a relationship, and my boyfriend trusts me , but that doesn't mean I'd sleep at a male friends house , alone. That would be totally wrong and disrespectful towards my boyfriend. It'd be humiliating for him.

No, I don’t mind my partner having female friends. This is a debate that I’ve had to experience with one of my exes for our entire relationship. The only problem was I wasn’t comfortable with him hanging out other girls. Majority had to with insecurities at the time but he also played a huge role in why I had those insecurities. I think the main thing to keep in mind if you’re going to be friends with someone of the opposite sex is to be respectful (to yourself, your partner, and friend) Make sure there are boundaries and everyone feels comfortable. If you can do that, it’s surely possible! :)
I trust him but at the same time I don’t trust the girl
Girls can be manipulative and men can sometimes be very blind too it
Which doesn’t help
You see what she’s doing but he thinks it’s completely innocent
Yes, I would because you dont know what is really going on. men and of course the female will lie to you to keep their fling going.
God yes!!! Do I show it, no, not at all!!!
And I'm sorry, I'm not a blindly trust kinda mate! A guy and a girl getting to close has the potential to lead to more... and that potential possibility is more than enough to cause worry yeah.
It would make me uncomfortable but as long as I can tell she’s still faithful it’s ok

Why would I feel jealous when I'd already be there...
in the bushes..
like dis... lolNot at all. I'm not allowed to control my partner's life. They are allowed to (and should) have friends beyond me.
No.
I think both parties should have opposite sex friendsNo, not really. I trust him so I know he wouldn't do anything inappropriate.
Little bit but without at least some trust its hard to justify being in the relationship in the first place. But jealousy is the key word here, so I'd say seeing her smile at someone else's words is something you need to come to terms with.
Its not jealously unless they are doing something you want to do. Its more territorial and yes I would if he got to close to her.
Yes, I'll feel jealous if they hang out! If they are just friends, that's fine. But hanging out is not acceptable to me
Nah, as long as I can sleep with strippers then I'm good.
She better not be, literally my only friends are women.
Yes but not the bad type jealous
Not at all. I trust him.
Honestly no. I would trust him completely.
I wouldn't be with someone I didn't trust.
I'll be so jealous but I won't show it
