Should girls in committed relationships have other male friends?

I have always been the girl that guys love to hangout with and get to know easily. Therefore, most of my friends are guys. Many of them have girlfriends of there own but they always keep me as a girl friend. My boyfriend told me that any guy that I...

claim to be friends with will always want more than just a friendship because the only way my friendship started with other guys is through physical attraction. I do believe that this is true in some cases but I also think that it is important to have friends of the opposite sex. I never keep anything from him about my friendship with other guys.Before we became serious he was my best male friend and he still is but now anytime I get a phone call from a guy friend or I see one and stop to chat, he gets upset with me. I love him so much that at one point I was willing to let go of all of my male friends just so he would be happy. I know that is not the best thing 2 do but I don't want my relationship to end. Guys... what is your view on this? And ladies...what would you do in this situation?

Well, I think first of all, you should watch the movie When Harry Met Sally, and you will realize that men and women can never just be friends. That said, I don't think that it is a bad thing to socialize with members of the opposite sex who you work with or are mutual friends when you are in a relationship, but when it comes to talking on the phone and going out together, I think that is too much! I don't know how you are, but I would not feel comfortable with my husband going out to lunch with another girl or talking on the phone with her for long periods at a time either! I think if you want your relationship to continue, you need to cut ties with these other guys (and tell him to do the same if he has other girl friends...)! If you run into them on the street say, What's up, but other than that you should not have a relationship with them, because there will always be suspicion and awkwardness between you and your b/f. My husband and I became much more secure in our relationship after we talked about it and came up with some guidelines on what we were comfortable with when it came to members of the opposite sex! I hope you two can come to some kind of agreement! Good luck!

as long as there gay

See I disagree. You should be able to have friends of the opposite sex. If a couple cuts all ties with the opposite sex then that shows that they are insecure about the relationship and don't trust one another.

I'm coming out of a marriage that was like that, and my boyfriend is coming out of a relationship like that, Now we both have our real friends again and I wouldn't have it any other way.

As long as he isn't hiding anything from me, which I trust he isn't, I'm fine with it.

hey im the same wayto!!! I have more guy friends then I do girl friensd!! its ok its just hard for the boy friend to see that he cant have you all to your self when atleast duringg school hours!
