    so for those who say your partners can't hang out with the opposite sex, does that rule only apply to heterosexuals? I'm curious.

    I believe Chris Rock explained it best

    I believe Chris Rock was also the voice of Donkey in "Shrek".

    I'm supposed to take relationship advice from a donkey impersonator?

  • She is mine. I have wooed her with the promise of beer.

    Frick, I still have quarters in my truck I was about to go to the walmart and coinstar them and buy her topshelf.

    You clearly don't know me. *Hair flip*

    The majority (~80%) of my closest friends are all male. I test them, talk to them on the phone, go out drinking with them, even go away with them. If my partner has a problem with that, it is his problem not mine. If he can't trust me, then we don't have a relationship...end of.

    Yes because when you are in a serious relationship its totally normal to "go away" with a male friend....

    Yes, it is totally acceptable in my relationship for me to 'go away' with my male friends. My partner trusts me, and my male friends know that I am not after them for anything other than friendship. If I want to get laid, I can stay at home.

    I think it's more of them feeling threatened by us females. I know in my relationship I have been married 6 years and because of my weight loss am getting a lot of attention then I have ever, on Xbox, MFP and random strangers.

    He feels threatened by the fact that I could "like" one of these males friends one day and leave him. Insecure I guess.

    i think it depends on how you react when hit on. I mean xbox girl gamers.........Come on now.....


    Agreed. Those dirty console peasants cannot be trusted. PC gamer or gtfo.
    But what if you like both??

    Then that makes you a transient. Gross.

    LOL I play DnD with my husband too...I'm all whacked out!

    Slore.

    HA HA...You have to tell me how you came up with that one!

    I believe Chris Rock explained it best when he said men don't have women friends they just have women they haven't fuc@ed yet.

    Lol. This is what my husband says. I don't have any male friends (in real life) either....that would not go over well here. And no, not because he's insecure. He says he does not trust that a guy friend would never want/try anything more. FTR, I don't care if he has female friends. But he doesn't anyway.

    Like isn't this topic NAIVE? ARE WE 12? All ANY woman has to do is turn to the guy friend and offer him a happy ending, MARRIED, SINGLE, TAKEN, he is gonna take the bait. He may be a friend, but he would sleep with these women married or not if they let it get to that place, and they are dumb to think otherwise. Sitting at home with a male friend, your man isn't going to be home for 3 hours, and they dont THINK if they offered something he would take it? Are they dumb?

    You mispronounced 'jealousy'

    Jealous of what exactly?

    Relationships where you can trust your spouse not to *kitten* around behind your back at the drop of a hat.

    If this thread were at all to be taken seriously, I'd second the question. However, heteronormativity going to be heteronormativiting. Clearly gay men are just "girls" and lesbians are just "one of the guys." -_-

    It's called humor. I promise you, if I offered to blow one of my guy friends in the bathroom at Starbucks, they'd laugh, say "yeah, let's go" and then take another drink of coffee and continue with whatever else we were talking about. If I interrupted and told them I was serious, they'd laugh some more. If I continued to press it, and finally got them to believe that I wasn't joking, they'd get serious and ask me WTF is wrong with me b/c I'm happily married, and regardless of their relationship status, they respect ME and MINE.

    That was Eddie Murphy. It is racist to think all black people sound the same.

    How dare you!

    I think all donkeys sound the same...

    If it is ok for him to do it but not you then he is obviously doing something with these women or having thoughts about these women that he would not want you doing or having with other men. It is NOT okay for him to have female friends if he gets jealous of your male friends. It is his guilty conscience telling on him! Kinda like when they accuse you of cheating all the time when they are actually the ones cheating!

    Not everyone has trust issues...my best friend would be really worried about me...knowing me and knowing my husband. He would want to know if I was on something..

    I'm in a male-dominated major and my best friend is actually an ex who's 2000 miles away. Can't handle that then you can't handle me. Trust is everything! Weeds out the insecure boys from the men pretty quick:)

    Of course Harry would dictate otherwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8kpYm-6nuE

    ...but I like my guy friends :cry:

    For real though, I get along with guys better than girls. It doesn't mean that there's anything going on. It's insensitive if your man thinks that it's ok for him to have female friends and restrict you to only female friends. I would never let my man tell me I couldn't be friends with someone unless there was some huge reason why we really shouldn't be friends besides the fact that they are male.

    No! Don't you know men have absolutely NO self control when it comes to sex. None whatever so ever. Men are horrible, evil, sexually driven people.

    sorry for your troubles.

    I dont have any troubles. I have a great relationship. Unlike these people seeking emotional comfort from the opposite sex who ISN'T their s/o and masking it as "friendship". You can keep reaching though

    Oh, honey.

    But does he trust that you would say no? Because that's what matters.

    A man can try something with you all day long. If you say no, then what difference does it make?

    I would certainly end that kind of friendship because that friend is disrespectful. But what your SO is actually saying is that he doesn't think you are capable of saying no when propositioned for sex.

    Agree, simple as saying no. I guess he thinks I'll be offended/hurt by it, having trusted someone to just be a friend?? Whereas I wouldn't take it that seriously.

    If this is your view from inside your relationship, I'm sorry you have to suffer through such trust and security issues. I remember times in my life where I was in relationships colored this way, I hope you to know the day where everyone the same gender as you is not the enemy.

    Hmm, glad my fiance knows I get along with males better than I do females due to being a tomboy growing up.. And he knows I'm bi, as well.. I guess it all boils down to trust and self-confidence of the person you're with. He knows I will never run around on him. :heart:
