Can't men & women be friends, & just friends? I've always (maybe naively) maintained that there is such a thing. I've been told, however, that this isn't the case.
I've always had friends that were men, with absolutely no intentions of anything other than friendship. I wouldn't ever suspect that they had other ideas either.
Gordo wrote a blog not too long ago along these very lines.
Everyone always says they want honesty & openness in a relationship. Yet, sometimes it causes unnecessary arguments. Two of the comments in his blog that got my attention were:
"Ladies, dont be open about every aspect of your life because if a guy is jealous no matter how open and honest you are with them, they will still get jealous even though it is not warranted."
Have you ever told your S.O. about the guy that flirts with you, or a new friend at work? It doesn't usually go over very big.
"I would never put boundaries on any friend male or female if they need me.........when you get into a relationship you should not have to change...if you are loyal to that person and open and have never given the other person a reason to not trust you then they should respect your friendships no matter if they are male or female."
Rather than relate stories of jealous Significant Others over the friendships I've had, I'll just open it up to you. You tell me what you think. Should there be limits & rules to your friendships, once you are involved?
