meh...
My boyfriend tends to remain very friendly with his ex girlfriends or dates, who he's obviously attracted to given their past romantic history. To me, as long as I can be around him and that friend and he wants me there, and I don't feel threatened in any way, then it's really no issue to me how attractive the girls are.. I mean even I think they're attractive. It's completely just a matter of trust in the end, as with most things in a relationship.
Wouldn't bother me one bit. It would mean another friend for me and supporter of her.
super totes beyond cool w/ that. jef and i both have tons of best pals and i trust him fully and completely...
Not crazy about the idea. But I trust her enough to not be suspicious.
I would be ok with it within reason. If they were spending a lot of time together just the two of them - I would get suspicious.
I would have to say no because we have trust issues. That why we are not married yet !
I think it's weird. But he was my beat friend first, so not as weird. It's only weird when they hang out without me.
I tend to be slightly jealous, but not worried. Trust is the keyword in this, and in my case it is fuelled by my girlfriend reassuring me that she wants (in any sense) me more than anybody else. A word is enough to make me feel totally comfortable again.
Well, it is inevitable that he will have lady friends, and that they will be close... As I have male friends. But I would like to know I am his best friend, and if he is forever telling me how great someone else is, I would wonder why his not dating them instead, so coherently I'll be a little jealous. What would be great if his best friend and my bestfriend was the same person, than I could not be happier.
Wow good question! To be honest I believe when you're married you owe 100% of your affection and loyalty to your spouse alone--so to be honest I think I would be pretty concerned if he had a female "best friend." He's giving away what is mine to have!
I'm ok whith it it's cool
not happening. he just isnt friends with girls.
I think it would be fine, but I've never dealt with that, so I don't know for sure. It does seem like it might be easy to develop feelings for the other in an opposite sex "best friend" sort of relationship. Then again, my best friend is male so what am I talking about? ;-)
Although I trust my wife completely, I don't think they should be *best* friends.
