Would you be OK with your spouse having friends of the opposite gender?

[ohsheeT]

Every single one of us knows that happens every single one of us knows that we might not like it but every single one of us also knows that you don't allow your spouse to go through with a go-to thinking about your relationship with another friend because that's just wrong too allow them to make them have to live through that like I said we all have other friends and we should all be trusted with that but there has been many times where things have gone wrong so that gives everybody good reason you feeling to think with people do I think it's up to that spouse that has the friends to kind of put a hold on it or only see each other once in awhile or hang out once in awhile whenever it's less heartache for the spouse I have tons of friends that little girls and I'm single right now I think that's one of the reasons why I don't have a girlfriend because I don't want to have to go through this I don't want to have to say to my friends sorry I can't come hang out with you because I got a girlfriend now and she doesn't like it which if it was turned around I wouldn't either so I understand the whole thing

[NathanDavis]

yes... it is the most normal thing in the world for me

I have friends that have been my friends for 20, 12, 16, 10 years... and it has never been an issue at all

my girlfriends didn't have an issue with them, their husbands didn't have an issue with me all

true friends are just friends and a great thing to have in life

I see that not everyone is capable of doing this so they do not want this at all... but that is not my case, I've always been more normal about these things, lol

[Emiliamazing]

We are both very comfortable with that situation. Our whole neighborhood is full of sets of parents and we are all friends and we all help each other out doing activities with the kids. None of us go out for drinks with the opposite sex or anything like that, but we frequently team up to go to movies, church, swimming, etc.

I consider it a great benefit, since I travel so frequently. My husband and a couple of the other moms in our neighborhood and dad’s all help each other out immensely.

[Faith18letsgo]

Absolutely. That’s perfectly natural and important. I don’t want to be his/her only friend. And then when we had his friends over for dinner there’d be girls/boys.

[Rockstarrrrr]

No, my girl should be smart and sassy... Not some girl who enjoys male attention from anyone while also being in a relationship... Mutual friends, work friends are cool as long as there are boundaries... Again, she would be smart... She knows how to keep those boundaries and she knows how to choose the right people to be friends with... Not wankers

[smne35]

Yes if in my heart I feel she has displayed that she's trust worthy, have self control I have no problem with it, I mean we must trust you hopefully it don't happen but she give in and do get involved with him but you must have trust confidence in you spouse

[Mansearching]

Yes bc I am. She doesn't care as long as sje gets to know them. If she doesn't like them, then its hard bc of the history that them and I have.

But she has gotten jealous. Only bc of how they look. Told her she shouldn't worry bc she got me not them.

[Keepitreal007]

Like hang out friends or coworkers because there is a difference. And if it’s a long time friend from when they were kids that’s different too. But a friend to just hang out no unless we are all hanging out together.

[RealMarek]

With certain boundaries respected. I wouldn’t want them to go on little weekend trips together.

[MTC29]

I'm not jealous by nature, so I'd have no issues. My own SO grew up in this area, so she bumps into people, including men, that she went to high school with.

[slatyb]

Yes, of course. I have friends of the opposite gender. When my wife is gone visiting her sister, sometimes I have dinner with them. It's not a problem.

[Crafteroon]

Of course. Who only has friends that are the same gender these days? If you don't trust your spouse with another woman, does your relationship have any trust?

[D_Bone_Steak]

Nope. That's why I own guns. She's allowed to have female friends as long as I can watch, and maybe join in. ... don't ask about my friends... she don't need to know those girls. ;-)

[Ill_made_Knight]

Yes and I have been. My ex worked in manufacturing so most of her workmates were guys. You can't try to dictate who a person's friends should be without the relationship suffering.

[Emilyis]

Sure, my husband and I have several friends of the opposite gender. I like getting their perspective on things.

[HelloImGoodThanks]

Yeah why not. If they wanted to cheat they are going to cheat one way or another so why stop them from having female or male friends

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Absolutely. They'd best be ok with me doing the same.

Also, I'm enby so, like, most people are "opposite" gender, lol.

[Staximus]

Yeah but I wouldn't be ok with just the two of them going out or hanging out together

[sheikalana]

I'm okay ish as long as I've been introduced to them and there are no other intentions apart from a friendship.

[20yearsolder]

Yep, if I trust them then I shouldn't have an issue and I'm talking about trusting myself

[20yearsolder]

Stupid talk to text, yep if I trust them then I shouldn't have an issue. I'm talking about trusting my spouse.

[Carriage95]

Unless they’re my friend too, but no. Marriage is already hard enough, no need to add complications to the marriage.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Sure why not and fat friend should be me lol 😈.
If i am not her goto friend then i have failed the relationship or she has

[PeteBy]

Yes. Without trust you may as well not be together.

[exitseven]

As long as she had no dating or sexual history with them.
