I wouldn't be comfortable with it
He doesn't really have one. However, my best friend is a guy who I used to have feelings for but my boyfriend doesn't mind that I spend time with him
Shes attracted to every body,lol... but people of potential attraction , no i wouldnt like it at all. Not even a little bit
No deal. Those relationships are steeped in insincerity. At best one or the other has intentions/feelings/desires they haven't revealed. At worst the attraction is mutual. While a platonic relationship is espoused generally there is trouble roiling under the surface. Furthermore what is lacking in the couple's relationship that one is getting from another?
depends on the girl! if im friends with the girl too then woo! but she only wants alone time with him or is a x.. well.. that makes me suspicious of HER intentions
I always thought I would hate it but I trust her 100% and it really doesn't bother me.
Would not like it
I might be a little bugged by it but, I have a lot of trust so it would never be an issue.
I won't mind him unless she hides what's happening between them
I wouldn't be okay with my husband having a best friend that was a girl. Friends are fine, but we shouldn't have friends of the opposite sex that are TOO close, it can be dangerous.
I completely agree with you and I know that you worry about the girls I work with. I'll be honest, I wish I could either leave or change things so you didn't have to worry. I love you.

I don't worry about YOU, sweets... I just know you're friendly and personable and likable and attractive, and it's other women I don't trust.... Too many people/women don't have morals. :-p

Well to be honest, this is why I am glad they got rid of Tiff. She is the only one I worried about.

Meh.... You weren't as close with her as you are with Megan.... I never REALLY worried about Tiffany... It's the close friendships that can be taken the wrong way that I worry about ... That's why it's not safe to get too close with a friend when you're married... I'm actually glad I no longer have any close male friends.

Nah, Megan is too odd for me. There is no way in anything g that is holy that anything wound ever happen. We are friends, but that's it.

Lol, it's not about her being YOUR type or not... I wasn't asking if you would ever go for her... Although it would be nice if all you had to say is "she's not you, baby". :-p
All I'm saying is, it's happened way too many times in many instances, where two friends spend too much time together, get too close, and things develop that were totally unexpected... That's all. :-p we just have to be careful. :)

*snicker* *giggle* well that's good... Although, contrary to popular belief (yours), I've been at the bottom of my game, as far as singing goes. Blah. Been away from the game for too long. ;-)

fine. gotta be able to trust him 100%
It doesn't bother me.
It would bother me, unless she was old enough to be his mom, because in a good relationship, you should be one another's best friends. It would be really awkward to have your S.O. say...spend the day with a girl best friend.
Could be ok. Might not be ok. Depends.
I wouldn't like it.
I would not agree with this at all.
