If you’re in a relationship, can you really be just friends with the opposite sex?

Well, this question is becoming popular again because people have different opinions about it. Some says that females are only friends with males they are not so attracted to. And men are friends with females that are attracted to. Also that they go after their partner's friend and cheat with them as well.

Other says that its bullshit and of course opposite genders can be friends like siblings or something pure with no feelings. (Open minded people) While a third part says it is impossible (mostly people who were cheated on, has trauma, insecurities, traditional or conservative minds or arrogant people) A fourth part are unsure and says that it depends on the situation

Yes, you *can* be just friends with the opposite sex while in a relationship, but it depends on boundaries, transparency, and respect. No secret chats, no emotional cheating, no flirty “situationship” vibes. If your partner feels safe, informed, and prioritized, that friendship is fine. If you’d hide it? Red flag.

Not this again.

Of course you can. Most of my friends have always been male.

I'll summarize> In my view, the more likely you are to think opposite sex friends are not possible if:

* You're immature and insecure - you perceive every person who talks to your by/girlfriend as a threat.
* You've been hurt or dumped by a partner and blame them, even if it had nothing to do with their interest in someone else.
* You have no real understanding of what friendship is because you've never had a real friendship, you just thought you did.

That makes sense as well

Absolutely!! No problem about it! Why would I sudden feel the urge to fuck another girl if I've already got one that I love and who loves me?

Sort of. I’m in a committed relationship but do have a female pen pal I’ve had for longer than I’ve known my girlfriend. Otherwise having the friend calling or having lunch or whatever wouldn’t be wise and I don’t care what the SO says
