I’m writing this to try to hear opinions or stories of friendships of the opposite sex while in a relationship.

My girlfriend and I met and started dating 4 years ago. We also have a mutual friend, whom we both are close too and became friends with around the same time.

Our friend, is someone I’m close to and would consider to be one of my best friends (as of this year). The relationship is completely platonic. We do hang out and grab lunch, or drinks but never without my girlfriend knowing.

I’ve had multiple conversations with my girlfriend about how she feels about her and I hanging out and she actually supports that, encourages it, as do I with her.

My question is, what are your thoughts on this? Does this seem complete foreign to you, is it weird?
P. s
Some of my guy friends thing it’s abnormal. But anyway, thank your for taking the time to read this.

- I suggested to her she could come with me last minute to go to the park once and she said she wasn’t sure as she was about to make lunch and go shopping. I suggested she lets me know if she decides she wants to come and she later texted me to ask if I’m still there and she walked 45 minutes to come and see me.
