meeting up with opposite sex friends

People how do you feel about your boyfriend/ girlfriend meeting up with friends of the opposite sex?

Fustrating but you have to trust them.
Since when did it become wrong to have friends of the opposite sex?
Nothing because I keep him chained up. Helps avoid little things like jealousy :colone:

But if you trust them enough, it shouldn't effect you. Trust is key in things like this. If you worry, you need to start questioning how great your relationship really is.

Frustrating *

Doesn't happen because I keep that bitch grounded.
I'm never particularly bothered, I'm secure and happy. I have my own friends of the opposite sex who I'm still going to see, so it'd be a bit feeble to whinge if my partner did the same thing.

Men and women are perfectly capable of co-existing without mating with each other at the first opportunity, despite what horny teenagers/Internet relationship coaches may say to the contrary.

Yes I agree, it sometimes annoys me but I do trust him, should I just learn to be okay with it?

A lot of my friends don't let their boyfriends go out with other girls and I disagree with that, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is a bit more lenient
If it bothered me, that would make me a hypocrite. Most of my friends are male. I meet up with them fairly often. I've had at least 2 of them say that their partner is aware that we're meeting up and they know what we're doing.
I'm friends with a lot of girls, so I'd personally feel like a paranoid hypocrite if I was to complain about my partner going out to see a guy.

Yeah it should be fine. Things like this contribute to a long healthy relationship.

Your boyfriend can't watch porn and can't meet with friends that are female?

Jesus Christ you are insecure.

He can meet up with female friends I've never stopped him and I simply personally don't like porn. It has nothing to do with insecurity as I completely trust and believe him, and I know he dotes on me. I'd ask that if you're going to make judgements and be overly critical of me, then stop reading my comments. There is no need to be rude and critical about people.

My boyfriend's oldest and best friend is a girl, if he were to see her on his own I would be okay with it because I know how much they help each other through, but anyone else I would be pretty wary about I'll be honest. He did it once behind my back, he met up with a girl he met on summer camp (to choose my birthday present actually) and I trust that nothing happened because she had a boyfriend and she's with her boyfriend still but I got SO angry after that and it caused us a lot of problems because he'd made a secret out of it. So if he told me then I would be much more okay.

Yes that's how I feel! If he's honest then I trust him, I only wouldn't trust him if he went behind my back

Yeah because going behind your back makes it look like he has other intentions! My boyfriend told me he didn't tell me because he knew that I would freak out, which is true, but at least I'd have time to process it and accept it :smile:
