I trust my partner completely 100%. It doesnt matter if she is just a common friend, but, i will really not like it if it is a best friend.

Im not approved of bestfriends of the opposite sex. Even though the trust is there, sooner or later, it will be broken. Why? In reality, there is no such thing as perfect relationship with no problems. From time to time, they will share it to their bestfriends, and can fall with them. A person in a relationship can fall with someone not their bestfriend and cheat. What more if they are super close to that someone as their best friend. It will hurt like hell if u gave your 100% trust and be broken. It can be better if the both of you are best friends.

I am my boyfriend's best friend and he is mine.

Probably not 100% comfortable - I mean especially if they are best friends - but I wouldn't wanna be "That Girl" either so I'd let it go until it became an obvious issue.

I am not sure I would like my partner's best friend to be someone of a sex they are attracted. I don't mind if they have a good friend like that but best friend implies sharing of secrets, troubles, time spent. All these things are potentially innocent but also could lead to trouble in the wrong situation.

I don't mind. I am 100% confident he will never do anything to jeoperdize our relationship.

I would be fine with friends but id probably start to care if they started spending "too much" time together

It doesn't really bother me. My partner is probably the most trustworthy person in the world.

Doesn't bother me at all. I trust my partner and feel I would never have a reason to worry about it.

Not a problem. I trust her completely so the gender doesn't really play into it. Besides, given our orientation, having an issue about that would rule out most of both of our friends!

As long as there was videotape.
Male, >50 years, Dating, DC, US • • Comment

Well, normally I would say "no problem"! And while I want my partner to develop meaningful relationships outside of ours, because our relationship developed from a friendship while he was with someone else....I'm not sure I would ever feel totally comfortable with him having a female BF.

Just fine. I trust my wife.
