I don't like it at all, it's nearly destroyed what we've built over 8 years.
It would only cause conflict, even if trust is not an issue!
I'm his best friend
I tend to get jealous. I totally trust him, but I'd be worried about the chick because my boyfriend's quite a catch;)
I trust him; if he's open and honest and I stop getting my girl on, I think he could be friends with someone of the opposite sex. For me I don't trust guys and their intentions
I completely trust her. That being said I would still be uncomfortable. I personally wouldn't be comfortable with me having a best friend that was female. I think it would cause issues. The only female best friend is my girlfriend.
I think it would depend. I would be more afraid of the casual friendship of the opposite sex then a best friend relationship. I have a couple really close male friends who I would do anything for. But I'm not attracted to them in a sexual way. Never have been never will be.

I dont mind as long as he knows the limit and doesnt treat his 'girl' friends the same as me.
I do not like the idea of it at all. I'm very territorial.
I'm not typically an insecure person and pretty trusting, but I would want to see how they interact with one another in person if that were to be the case. My husband is mostly friends with guys though.
Scared but okay. If he really loves me and cares about me. I think he would know the limit as being bestfriend
Um, no. Absolutely unacceptable for me. If it is not a mutual friend, their should be no friendship and a married person should always make sure their actions when dealing with the opposite sex cannot be misconstrued by others. If you would not do or say it in front of your spouse, then you should not do or say it when they're not around.
A little nervous. Only because I've never met her and don't know how they interact and what the dynamic is like. I trust him though and I've only heard wonderful things about her, so at the end of the day I'm glad he has a best friend like her.
NFW. Sorry. What's mine is mine.
Honestly im alittle wary it could be that i havent got the best confidence in my self or that ive had past relationships who have had chick best mates n shit has gone down.
I've never been given any reason not to trust her, so I don't have a problem with it. I honestly think that it depends on the relationship ad the situation though, because even though I'm ok with it now, I've had relationships in which I wasn't.
