Its ok with me , just not to go out for hours with him. Or put him before me. I would trust my girlfriend but I expect her to be respectful back and keep clear boundaries with her male friends
Yes we both have friends of opposite gender but we are smart about it we dont go alone over to their place.. meet for coffee or something to catch up in public not one on one behind closed doors
Why not? I don't own people. I can't tell them what to do or what not to do I'm not a baby sitter. If they cheat, then I'm out. Not my loss.
As long as you’re not cheating I have no issue with my girlfriend having guy friends I have no issue with Her having new guy friends as long as she’s not cheating we’re good
Why would I try to forbid him friends? 🤨 I trust him therefore the gender of his friends doesn't really matter.
You don't get to "let" your partner have friends. If you're so insecure about yourself that you feel threatened by your partner having friends, that's your problem. Not theirs.
All about trust. My best friend is a guy a long with most of people I know. It's not even a thought to my fiance
“Let”? I don’t “let” him do anything. He is an adult and he has a few female friends. I trust him. If I didn’t trust him, we wouldn’t have much of a relationship.
yes because you need a social life outside of your relationship. I feel that as long as your significant knows the person then its fine.
Let's be honest, girls will continue making guy friends of a "just-in-case" scenario of dumping her current boyfriend for another guy. A guy has to accept it but if a guy makes friends who are girls she will freak out and blow up at him.
They are a partner, not a slave. I don’t “let” them do anything. They live their life, I live mine. With a lot of overlap.
As long as I know who they are and their intentions and as long as they respect each other’s boundaries and not fawning on her, then it might calm me down for a great extent.
"Let" and "voluntary relationship" are incompatible. You decide what you are willing to accept and act accordingly.
No not at all. It’s a trust thing i know but there is no way in hell I’d want someone telling me who to befriend or not so I don’t do the same.
Of course. Im not a controlling ass with no self esteem.
Definitely. It’s a bit possessive and controlling not to, no?
no I would not like his doing this for he needs to get to know me better since he is in a relationship with me ! however if he insists on doing this then I will tell him it is over between us for he is not mature enough for me ! thanks
Hmm, but it's not like that dearie
I'm new here can you text me , I followed you already dear, God bless
There's no "let", I don't own my partner, but I'd be fine with them having friends of either sex, because I trust them.
Any woman who wouldn't "let" me have female friends would join that group known as "ex-partners".
He is my partner, im not his owner. It’s toxic to “let” or “not let” them do things
I'd be surprised if she didn't. What's wrong with you?
