If your partner won’t let you have ANY friends of the opposite sex 🚩

Hot take, but I think women are able to have friends of the opposite gender, but when men have a “friend” of the opposite gender there’s always a lingering thought in the back of his mind….or the front

If you respect your partner you won’t have any to begin with

Trust her until she gives you a reason not to bud

Honestly I only date people who have friends of the opposite sex.

there’s a difference in having friends already that are different gender versus actively going out and making new friends of the different gender. that’s weird but gotta respect the bonds made already

There is a big difference between already having those friends vs actively trying to make new ones

Imo you CAN you just need to have clear boundaries with them, and you and your partner have to trust each other.

my girl made me unfollow all my girl friends (in which i did so). but is this actually controlling??? like they were genuinely really good friends

Yeah I never understood why this was even an argument I’ve always had friends of every gender. Also I’m bi so like if we wanted to avoid any possible cheating opportunities I wouldn’t be able to have friends at all?? Which is stupid. Luckily for me, my girlfriend is normal and I’m not going to cheat on her.

I feel like it depends on your age

I mean, my ex was skeptical of me having friends of the opposite gender but I already had some friends that were girls and my ex was scared of them taking me away from her. So I still kept my friends from before the relationship and made some new ones

That’s crazy. Like, I don’t look at my opposite gender friends and think, I’m gonna cheat and fuck with them instead

If you respect YOUR partner you wouldn’t expect them to dump multiple legit platonic friends they’ve known for years just because y’all are dating if they haven’t given you a reason to think there’s something else there

Precisely, which is why I’d never waste my time with people like that.

You do you but if you’re with someone prone to cheating they don’t need friends to help them do it 🤷‍♀️

Usually cheaters are the first to accuse other people of cheating so good luck with that

You could’ve just replied “Nuh uh” and saved us both some time

Didn’t realize someone was forcing you to reply. Have a great night then bestie

To me, you are someone who’s so horny that you can’t help controlling your sexual desires whenever you have connections with the other gender, so that you have to completely isolate yourself from them.

I agree with number 1 here, it’s not a issue about trust between partners it’s the fact that opposite gender friends can in certain cases have intentions beyond friendship, so avoiding even having that start all together

Like a guy friend trying to steal someone’s girlfriend or a girl trying to steal someone’s boyfriend, it has nothing to do with the trust of the relationship it’s avoiding bs drama

That’s why you should be able to trust your partner and set clear boundaries if you sense anything suspicious instead of forcing them to dump every single opposite sex friend all together. Saying “you can’t keep any of your old friends at all cause one of them may wanna eventually secretly get with you at some point” is extremely controlling.

Using that logic every guy friend a girl in a relationship has wants to fuck her

It’s not controlling when it’s a mutual agreement

That’s kind of an unhealthy amount of care and respect imo

you’re ignoring that there’s some men who aren’t attracted to women

Well then the guy is not a friend! Friends have pure intentions. You can cut them off as soon as you find out but you can’t just cut them off regardlessly

From personal experience it’s a pretty common theme. Obviously not always, but it’s a good majority

If you were all genuinely friends and they weren’t posting thirst traps or the like I’d say it is 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn’t that mean that women still shouldn’t have friends of the opposite gender then? In fact the guy shouldn’t have guy friends either cause they’d be thinking the same thing.

96% of the time yes. For all you women out there go text those guy friends saying you’re single or something…..try to refrain from fucking them all though
