Search Results: platonic friendship

I got into an argument with another girl on here awhile back. She believed that if a man had a close platonic relationship (aka a friendship) with women while in a relationship that he was "acting single" and was being "disrespectful" which is absurd to me.

My ex boyfriend had a female friends and I never found it disrespectful or him acting single; it was just him hanging with his friends. It seems so controlling to me that she thinks a women shouldn't let her man have female friends.

She said it wasn't about control, but the more she talked, the more that is how it sounded. Plus, it sounds so hypocritical to me that she think this concerning men, but that its regarded by society that it is more or less acceptable for women to have guy friends while in a relationship.
