Is it okay to have female friends when you have a girlfriend?🤨🤔

Not that it matters but there's a difference between actual friends who respect your boundaries in general single or not, and guys/girls who are in the friend zone and clearly wanted to and likely still want to sleep with your significant other.

There’s nothing wrong with being jealous, it’s a normal human emotion, what’s wrong is when you start controlling that person based purely off of that alone.

It's not controlling. It's called having boundaries. You're free to have female friends, and she's free to walk away. And vice versa.

So he basically says that he wants to sleep with his female friends? 😂😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Me; “never mind.”

My sister has a boy best friend. They’ve been friends since the day they were born. My sister is now married and she still considers him her best friend. They’ve never dated and didn’t grow up texting or calling each other. He is like a big brother to both of us. I believe you can have a friend of the opposite gender while dating someone but i think there needs to be boundaries so your partner feels comfortable with the relationship.

Edit: for everyone saying it’s sus that he stuck around for so long. Notice how I said he’s like a brother to *BOTH OF US*
His mom is my mom’s best friend. He’s not just our friend he is apart of the family. I call his mom my aunt. Stop being weird about it!

There is nothing wrong with having friends from the opposite sex. People just need to learn how to control themselves & respect relationships.

[lucidlemon]

Personally I believe it's ok to have friends of the opposite gender, and it's ok to be jealous, but its never ok to be controlling

[foreverxplays]

I think there should be enough trust in a relationship where you can have boy friends even if you have a boyfriend ❤️✨

[wizeyy]

Never understood this. Imagine having male/female friends you’ve grown up with and went through the ups and downs of life with and then you have to cut them out because of someone you’ve only met 1 or 2 months ago

An that always be a dudes response “well that’s different “ an this is why I’m doing me lol

I don't mind as long as those friends are aware he's in a relationship, don't cross boundaries and respect me as the girlfriend. Have just stumbled upon clown ass girl friends that purposely did shit to get me to feel jealousy; being touchy, hanging around him more, never greeting or noticing me when I was with him and saying dumb ass shit like "your gf would be jealous if she saw me" = in other words being self aware that they are doing something that isn't okay. I'm glad my relationship has transparency and we could both comfortably and calmly talk about our issues/discomforts. The so called friend wasn't a good person at all and it was so blatant that she just wanted to fuck with me, even though I'm not one to get jealous lol. Bottom line, there are cases where it's okay to be uncomfortable by girl friends, there are special kinda bitches that wanna be every man's favorite girl (aka pick me hoes), they feel superior to any other girl in the man's life and are willing to demonstrate it to you through belittling actions that usually go unnoticed by guys. If your man respects you and values the relationship, he should take that into account and solidify their boundaries or just cut the stanky bitch out. Being controllingly jealous is never okay, but there certainly are cases where it's understandable and justified to speak up about your discomforts. Some girl friends do shit on the boundary lines and you're not immature/toxic for feeling ticked off over it

It works both ways.

[elliottbroach]

Personally I think it’s more a matter of trust then anything. Trust your partner and it goes both ways. I think it’s important for both individuals to have friends and relationships and to have trust in each other. I think if you don’t trust your partner with other girls or men you have trust issues or you have bad intentions

[WatiSaurus]

It’s always “stop being jealous that I have female friends”……just wait until you tell ‘em about your male friends 🤣

[delilah_]

I think that this should be going both ways for both genders. The guy was right in the first half and that should go to girls too. The important thing is boundaries that should be set so both parties feel comfortable in the relationship.

[cinder]

It’s funny because if the guy thinks the only reason a guy would wanna be friends with his gf is because he wants to sleep with her then with that logic the only reason he has friends that are girls is because he wants to sleep with them.

[elihollingsworth]

The thing is, you just have to have the expectation that your significant other will cut 'friends' out of their life if said friend starts acting inappropriately. If a friend doesn't respect your relationship, they aren't your friend.

[claracatlady]

Jealousy is normal and human it’s the way you react/act on it that makes the difference. Being controlling is not the way to go. If you are too insecure for your partner to have friends then you need to work some stuff out. Saying that “all of your Male/female friends obviously just want to sleep with you” is not being concerned, it’s toxic bs. If there is a particular person that makes you uncomfortable and concerned then it’s fine to voice those concerns to your partner but just saying “any male/female contact other than me is bad” just won’t cut it.
