[quote:Anonymous Coward 52739123:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDI4NDgxX0I5MkFCQTRD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 52739123:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDI4Mzg1X0JCMDg2OEQw] [quote:gracebear:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDI4MTE1XzY5NEUwN0Y3] [quote:SevenThunders:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDI3OTgwXzlFOTYwOURG] My old girlfriend had a coterie of male 'friends'. They were primarily ex lovers who would just hang around hoping for a weak moment. In general most guys aren't just 'friends' with girls, especially if the women are attractive. I'd make sure she was aware of that. Perhaps you could start hanging out with lovely female friends yourself and see if she's down for that. I'm guessing your girl just likes the attention. [/quote] For the record, I'm a female asking the question. I dont' believe that most guys aren't just "friends" with girls. Maybe that's cause I'm a girl and that's just my bias. I just find it unfortunate that this is such a big issue. So, how did you address the problem? Did you ask her to not hangout with them? or how did you put your mind at ease? [/quote] Happily married women who are smart will choose not to have any male friends (only male friends that are friends with the husband , and will not hang out with men out of respect to the husband). Women that need to have male friends outside of the marriage are the ones who wind up cheating because they have low self esteem, no self worth and always believe that sweet talking guy when he tells her the grass is greener on his side... the rise in divorce is also because the average person now has 100s of opposite sex friends on Facebook and other social media. Happily married couples stay off social media, or share one account. [/quote] I forgot to say, if you are not ready to make your husband the only man in your life that you are truly and loyally devoted to, then that is a red flag you are not ready for marriage, or he's not the right guy to marry. I've heard women friends say they keep men friends around because they sometimes feel their husband's are not right for them. Sad. [/quote]

How do you feel about your partner having friends of the opposite sex?
Is this an issue for you?
How have you resolved it?
Then, I want you to ask let's say there was a breach in trust, on either person, in the relationship.
In that case, how would you handle the idea of, your partner, having friends of the opposite sex?
This has been an issue for me and just would like a big pool of advice.
