[quote:gracebear:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDM3NTY1XzQ0MDUwMDBB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12182882:MV8yNDY0MDQ0XzQyNDMzMjUxX0UyNjgxNjAy] [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] The male sex drive is very powerful at younger ages. Some guys even delude themselves into thinking they are just friends, but I bet if you went over and snuggled up to one of your male "friends" they would soon be hunting for something more then your wonderful personality. It's nature. I suppose its one of the things males struggle with. It is an internal battle between the sex drive, and your brain. If you a flirtatious at all you are helping the guerrilla brain win. If you wear revealing clothing, you are helping the gorilla brain win. If you hint or otherwise make an innocent remark, then you may be helping the normal brain justify the urges of the guerrilla brain. That being said, you can have male friends, but you can bet, that deep within their subconscious they would love to bend you over a chair and drive you to china. If they are disciplined, and you are completely non sexual it can be fine. Now, your boyfriend knows this. Because he feels it! Now do you understand why he might be a little suspicious? [/quote] SO, you're telling me that no matter what the case will be if the woman is attractive there will be an underlying sexual desire for her. What about for females? Does that still apply? I know some women play their looks up to their advantage... [/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.
