I want to start a discussion and hear people's opinions on whether you are fine with your partner having a friend of the opposite gender, presuming the friend is straight.
Nothing is absolute, so here are a few things that could possibly happen:
- They could go to a café and have coffee.
- They could text, maybe sometimes late at night.
- They could call.
- They could have lunch/dinner.
- They could go for drinks.
- They could share hobbies and hang out together: watch movies, play games, watch sports, etc.
- They could go on trips together.
- They share their emotions and thoughts together: things about their partners, careers, and giving each other advice and comfort.
- Worst possible situation, but they could cheat.
Are you okay with your partner having an opposite-sex friend? If so, will you let your partner do as they want because they are an adult and can be friends with whomever they want, or will you have limits? Or, would you not be okay at all?
