Are women supposed to relate to their male partners like they do their female friends?

[Anonymous]

Like I could be totally wrong but isn’t it a different dynamic. I recently had a breakup and she was like when I hang out with her there is no arguing or disagreement because we are so alike

[Rei13]

No the dynamic is different between my boyfriend and I vs my friends and me. We relate on a lot and are naturally good friends, but there are specific things that only relate on the experience of being a girl that we will never be able to relate to or bond to that I have with my friends where while there is a form of intimacy in all of my relationships it is obviously completely different with him that I wouldn’t have with them.

there's no people alike... and female friends are just like how male friends are.

No, men and women are very different, we have more differences than similarities so we cannot truly relate to each other. As a man you should share your problems with your male friends and elder male members of your family or peers. Do not show weakness or emotional vulnerability in front of your girlfriend, it's a ssure shotway of her losing respect for you fast.

No, you're not one of her girls, you're her man. Different.

with your ex is a bit unusual. Sounds like you were a good fit and natural friends but the romantic stuff didn't work for whatever reason. You both understood and reverted to your natural state with little animosity.

I am sorry but these people are misleading you. You should absolutely be able to see a perfectly normal platonic friendship if you remove all the sexuality from your relationship.

If you can't talk to your boyfriend or girlfriend like your best friend then something isn't right.

No. A boyfriend is totally different from "one of the girls."

[sheikalana]

No, you're not her friend you're her partner.

are you a trans woman in the closet? maybe you relate to her the way you do it to your sex friend. a lot of men think that they are a woman inside

She broke up with you bc you guys were too much alike? What? My partner and I have a lot of things in common, there's nothing wrong with sharing more similarities than differences. What's her deal? :(

[Opinion Owner]

We also rarely argue or disagree. That should be looked at as a good thing..

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe she felt there were no romantic feelings between you both? But more like platonic feelings?

[strateguy632]
