I do not need female friends. I am married, my wife is my best friend. No others need apply or bring complications into my marriage.

[@Onguard8737]

A men brother. You should be her only male friend in her life

[@gigimaloney6503]

That's exactly what I think. Can someone answer this for me. my ex has been calling me complaining her boyfriend of 1 year now has a best female friend who's very attractive. Girlfriend is attractive too however the friendship is questioned by everyone. He claims he has never slept with his best friend..lol... He doesn't complement his now gorlfriend they don't conversate much as a couple. I basically think he doesn't not have the right intention for her, with that being said I think she's being used... are my thoughts biased because she's my ex!!!... Being in a relationship I want my partner 2 be my bestie not another woman.......

They say dog is a man's best friend. If you can be friends with a dog you can be friends with a woman. I have seen men and women married and their relationship looks like a jail sentence.

It can work but you need to have boundaries and be respectful of your friend's main relationship. I have a male friend. He has a girlfriend and daughter. I don't hug him or anything like that. We talk, I visit sometimes cause their daughter is my god daughter and I talk with his girlfriend she's a nice person. But I also distance myself to a certain extent because friendship is secondary to a spousal relationship and you need to respect that and act accordingly.

[@AKH702]

It’s possible but if man found a little opportunity he will do it tightly 😂

[@carlosbonilla2135]

Yep, temptation is always present

[@michaelangst6078]

not really... Why would I fuck single mom's I know and have her expect me to help her out with her kid and give her a false sense of support? men who barely have sex can't be just friends with females because they have no options and will take anything they can get

Emotional cheating is very detrimental to your current relationship. It's a fine line.

[@danielgreenwald4517]

Agreed.. and I’m surprised hearing that from a woman (assuming you’re a woman)

[@lsblovey68]

Daniel Greenwald yes I'm a woman, my picture is real...lol

[@lsblovey68]

Daniel Greenwald why are you surprised

[@danielgreenwald4517]

Laura B because soooo many women don’t think like you or say they don’t think like you and are dishonest and manipulative.. just surprised to hear a woman come forward and say yes, getting close to other men or for a man to other women is “nothing”, “no big deal” is just a load of rubbish

[@lsblovey68]

Daniel Greenwald I I think a lot of men or women don't really understand the Dynamics of emotional cheating and because you're not involved with them physically they think it's okay

[@dkrhone8417]

[@jake8748]

If you have a friend of opposite sex or same sex if that way inclined, then there becomes chemistry. Either physically attraction or emotional. Either way once the boundary gets blurred you become unfaithful. The only way you could make a friendship work in that way is if your intimate partner is present in all the contact and if you listen to your intimate partners concerns. The thing is, if your friend has any fantasies about you or is attached only to you in your partnership then their advice is not without bias. There advice will be based on what they think is best for your relationship with them. So you vent that your husband forgot to do the dishes. Expect the remark some time later about them doing the dishes - such as you message them and they wait 5 minutes to respond and then go - sorry for replying slow was doing the dishes. And Bam now they've put a crack in your intimate relationship because they've taken your frustration and made you think a positive towards them. Also the most telling bit. A friend wants whats in your best interests. So how can I be best friends with a female knowing that my presence in her life will undeniably cause problems in her intimate relationship and thus cause her pain or sadness. Thus to be a real friend I need to remain distant and disconnected.

[@kaseyconahan9444]

I have a male friend that just entered into a relationship. We didn’t really share many conversations our friendship was built on me going to see him play basketball or tennis. The last tennis tournament I went to he gave be a huge hug and we both didn’t let go for a long time and when I began to loser my hold he tightened his. The next day I returned to see him play in tournament finals but I came with another male friend tyler never asked who he was so I didn’t tell him we were just friends. All of this happened in September and he started dating another girl at the end of February. For me our friendship was strong without the conversation piece because almost every time I saw him he’d have a big smile on his face and give me a hug. I haven’t seen or talked to him since basketball season ended and he put his hand up when I reached out to hug him

[@MiaCarter7]

He probablly respects his girlfriend. Good on him!

[@MultiMackle]

Awesome

[@mysterio1570]

If someone has a friend before the current marriage. That could work. Not having the current marriage /relationship and then having a new opposite-sex friend will cause problems.

my brother used to think female and male can be friend and he brought the guys over to be friends with his ex girl friend of 7 years and he tried to bring them all together like mr pettiford is saying, and that guy put 3 hot one in my little brothers head, so yeah go and try this and ill be prayiing for you as well,cause like that women said lets be honest what if you woman /spouse dont want to be friends with them, (he didnt answer that)relationship is more then just sex,but your spouse should want your undidived soul tie also,and you will make the spose jelous if they feel you more connect to the friend and not them,

wise man

[@angiebone7999]

Both ppl should hv friends bc if and when the two break up then what. they need an ear to talk too. if he or she mentions the other friend, yes, perhaps it's innocent. Perhaps, it's that one who doesn't mention it, may cause a problem. it's complicated all around. It depends on the age and degree of the relationship. Sometimes, seniors hv more than one friend that they know for decades. If two pl get involved, he/she can't just say, they will never see the person they know for ten yrs, the person who gets their mail when they are not home, etc. Old ppl need their friends, one to walk with, talk with, go shopping, etc. It can be a tough situation if one of the partners is not as social as the other.

[@JIX9ISLER1986]

Women are so naive......if there is attraction its no longer a friendship.....if one is attracted and the other is not....there is no reciprocity

[@hasanipettiford]

Exactly. That's the only way it can work! But you gotta leave each other alone if one is in a relationship.

[@Maki-qw8he]

I agree guys and girls can't be friends. My friendship group is a mixture of guys and girls. (6 guys and 8 girls) We were all friends. 2 of the girls in the group were attractive and the rest just average or not to mean unattractive. All of my mates liked the same chick and she only dated 2 of them. And one out of those 3 dated the other as well. I dated my best friend but then ended because I realised nah I don't want that. All my guy friends have left. I'm literally the only guy standing. No I'm not gay. I need new friends not because I'm saying guys and girls cant be friends but because they don't really talk to me anymore other than when they're bored. Plus if I get into a relationship, how is my gf gonna react when I'm friends with females and the fact that I dated one and nearly dated another.

[@lornaswasey4687]

With gay guys

[@elijahrector2168]

When does the guy in the relationship need to step out and reach out to say, another guy that keeps messaging the woman in the relationship, claiming to just be friendly but lines have been crossed before, emotionally with said other guy.

[@blackcaramel8175]

She doesn’t won’t to be your friend because she only says that because she don’t won’t to hurt your feelings. Bottom line she wants to use you for your TIME, ATTENTION & VALIDATION MONEY AND RESOURCES, WANTS YOU TO BECOME HER THERAPIST. She Wants the relationship benefits without giving it up in return.

[@stoney1962]

My Neice has numerous male friends!.

[@alextheskaterdude07]

[@dwighthayles1226]

It sounds terrible however, I think if the woman is unattractive and fat and the same for a man then it is possible. Even then it can get complicated.

[@msm445]

Truth don't need your approvals or your ticks. Women dress half naked to impress the opposite sex. Yet if you ask a man to pick a sweet in a wrap, or a sweet unwrapped. Response will be I don't know where the unwrapped sweets been. Value your beauty your health and your life.

[@smcpeek61]

If she is attractive absolutely NOT!

[@69Alpha69Wolfe69]

Where did this guy get the definition of Intimacy? There is no definition of this word that does not include sex. Cambridge Dictionary states Intimacy is " a situation in which you have a close friendship or sexual relationship with someone" Oxford states 1.2 Sexual intercourse. Does this guy just make up his own shit? What language does he speak?

[@ricfig4867]

If I have to change my relationship with my female friend for my partner,she better do the same too.. but I do not believe that men and women can be friends.. women who only hang out with men are dominant, insecure and can't handle you having ANY female friends.men who hang out with those women are mostly either gay, losers or just the guys that a lot of women do not see as attractive. Also, trying to be better for her then her friends does not work .those women are therefore NOT good relationship material
