How Would You Feel If Your Partner Wanted Friends Of The Opposite Sex? (Page 2)

Anonymous · 2022-03-17T13:33:31Z

I want you ladies and gentlemen to post your own opinions in the comments; however, I am speaking about my own experience as a man. I am 31 years old, and all of my friends are men. Do I talk to women on a casual level? YES. However, I DO NOT go out of my way to have female friends. When I used to have female friends, there was always light flirting and banter going on and then they would want to take it up to the next level eventually. Also, when you are in a relationship with someone or MARRIED, I just don't feel it's a good idea to entertain having friendships with people of the opposite sex. These days, I find it alarming that women want male friends so bad. In all of the recent relationships I have been in, I had to end it, because the women I was talking would discuss wanting to have male friends and that "healthy people" have friendships of both sexes. My last relationship ended, because my ex had male friends. Her male friends knew she was in a relationship, but they would call her or text her at 2am and they would try to invite her over at random hours to hang out. Personally, I feel like if you are in a committed relationship with someone, you shouldn't be entertaining people of the opposite sex.

Depends on the friend. Depends on what kind of friend. A best friend or just a friend? Lots of factors to consider here because it is a slippery slope.

I have friends of the opposite sex so I don't see there being a problem.

Wanted? I'd find it kinda suspicious that she doesn't already have any male friends.

Dude, what are you going to do if she is bisexual? Just make it so she has no friends?

It's not a good idea to try and make new friends but if you already them before you met, you can't expect someone to lose their friends. But most people wouldn't like it unless you aren't hiding it.
