No problem with it at all as long as it's not a secret that he's speaking to or texting them or going to the bar they work at and as long as their texts or conversations about them are respectful . Everything on the table
I have no problem with it. A relationship needs trust to survive.
I don't like it because he has lied about his interaction with ALL of them and some of which have said nasty things about me...not cool.
It's fine ;) trust trust trust
I'm okay with him having female friends. I trust him fully to know nothing will happen
Not very secure with that sadly
Not a problem. We seem to do well with fairly long leashes. Trust is the basis of everything in a relationship. At some point in a relationship you graduate to more important things to share and worry about.
Same sex or opposite isn't a problem.
I don't think it's necessary. although I trust him, what's the point ? stick to your boys :)
as a general rule i'm ok wiht it, so long as boundaries are established and understood and there is no secrecy or shenanigans. i'm protective of my relationship but i also have trust in my wife. it's a fine line that you have to walk...
the only male friends my wife has now are gay, husbands of friends or family or are my friends or family. I'm not sure what it will be like if she made new friends in the future.
I know she doesn't like me having female friends so I talk less to them.

As long as it does not involve secrecy, confiding in each other, or spending time together without one's spouse. It is fashionable to say otherwise, but many marriages end due to infidelity that could have been avoided if both partners really acknowledged the reality that friendship with a person of the opposite sex can grow too deep and can cause too much temptation. I gave up my two male chess partners out of respect for my husband and our marriage and It was worth it!
I'm OK with Rob.
I usually don't care at all or will pretend I don't or try heh cause I have alot of guy friends like all my friends are guys so id be the biggest hypocrite and nothing really matters aslong as I'm the one he comes home to..
it's fine with me, no problems with that.
