I find it hard to deal with without complete honesty. fortunately I trust my boo with all my heart.
Would not like it
I'm pretty territorial, and also very private. It would bother me a lot to know there was another woman he shared everything with, and probably shared more than he even shared with me. He is my best friend and I'm his, and that's a role that I take very seriously. I wouldn't marry someone if we weren't best friends.
My partner has several friends of the opposite sex who I also consider my friends. It has never become an issue for me. He makes a clear distinction between his friends and his relationship with me.
It's not a problem if he wants to get balls deep in som French chick, but I do think he needs more penis.
I don't like it but it all depends on who it is an how long he has known her.
My woman's best 2 friends, are men. Of the 2 one is also my best friend. I trust my love with every entity I have. If I was the jealous or insecure type, I would be both if I did not have faith in us. I am in love with her which means I trust her. I know the only reason they are in her life and mine is because they are helping my family push ever forward. Only because I trust my love for her. So through all that rambling. I do not give a shit what gender they are. I only care about us!
As long as neither of them flirt with each other OR she's ugly, then I'm okay with it.
Haha afraid of competition

I think it's a bad idea unless the BFF is ugly.
He used to be best friends with a girl (she was married) and it didn't bother me; they had been friends a long time. But if he suddenly had a NEW best friend who was a girl (besides me) I would have a problem with that...and I'm sure he would feel the same way if I became good friends with a new guy
One word: concerned. Second word: suspicious. Third word: why. Fourth word: affair.
it's very inappropriate I would not want him to have a female best friend that is my role and I'm sure he feels the same way
I'm cool with it... If she's ugly!
Well, I'm very glad that my dear girl has a best friend. I fully trust her and don't consider such friendship as a menace. :)
Absolutely not okay. I am okay with him having female friends as long as nothing is kept secret, and as long as marriage-protecting boundaries are implemented (I.e. no going out alone together). But best friend??? No way! I'm supposed to be his BFF and he is mine.
