 You've to keep your male friends.
If your partner doesn't allow you
to keep them then it's very clear
that he doesn't trust you!

 You should maintain friendships
with the opposite gender, but
provide transparency to your
partner so that he or she
ultimately feels comfortable about
it. The very fact that you have
"partnered" obligates you to work
together on resolving this. This
may mean stepping back from the
frequency or intensity of seeing
your male friends, out of respect
to your partner. Good luck!

 I would never say lessen your time
with them. Just because you have a
partner, doesn't mean you can't
have your male friends. I'm sure
since you consider them friends,
they know the boundaries. That
you're a women in a relationship
and that they should respect that.
Your partner should also respect
the fact that they're friends and
you're loyal to yours and his
relationship.
Remember that saying,
"Relationships may come and go, but
friendships are forever."?
That's how I think of this
situation.
If it was me, I wouldn't change a
thing. But if you spend more time
with them then you do with him,
then it's definitely a
situation.
Talk it out with him. State what
you have to say. Get how he feels.
Make an agreement to spend more
time with each other.

 Of course, ( sorry guys), but its
lack of self esteem, and I think
they our thinking how could they
stay friends with the opposite sex,
without Sex on the brain

 Yes you shouldn't see them if
that's what he/she ask. Because it
may make you love one uncomfortable
and that's the last thing you
should want your partner feel if ya
love them

 Yes.. There's nothing bad having
friends with the opposite sex.. But
the worst thing happens if you seek
for deeper relations with them..
Friends are just normal for us

 Trust is the foundation of a
relationship. You should have other
friends male and female. He is
either insecure or he is cheating.
Because usually those that accuse
are guilty themselves. He has no
right to tell you who your friends
will and will not be. That is
control live. What next you cant do
this or that. The only way I would
agree with him is if you have a
history of doing such things, or
you have had sexual relations with
that person before.

 It all depends on how you feel
about your boyfriend,do you love
him could he be the one???because
if there's any chance that he is
the one then you should respect how
he feels and work out some kind of
compromise that you can both live
with,maybe you can only hang out
with the guys in public and always
make sure that he knows that hes
always welcome to hang out with you
no matter who's around,let him know
hes # 1 even if your not willing to
kick your friends to the curb,as
long as your respectful about it
there's not much he can say as long
as he knows that hes your best
friend ,and only lover any way good
luck and i hope every thing turns
out good for you

 You should stay friends but respect
your partner and be around them
only when he is around until he
sees there is nothing there

 I had a "girlfriend" whose
boyfriend would not let her talk to
her guy friends, especially me. I
think that is bull, like Phreekshow
said, these kinds of people are
insecure. And actually, for my
friend listening to her boyfriend
made me hate her because we were
friends before he came along.

 I think you should still have
friends that are guys. In fact it
might be better to do that. I have
friends that are girls and my
girlfriend doesn't care, at least
she tells me she doesn't care and I
believe her. Like Phreekshow says,
" A true friendship is forever,
whereas a relationship might end."
So yes I think you should stay
friends with them.

 Im my experience,when ur partner
says not to see ur other male
friends,that means there
jealous,but this my experience.I
think u should continue to be
friends with the opposite sex

 Yes! I feel that people of the
opposite sex sometimes make better
friends! People are jealous because
of their own insecurities! Your
friends are your friends no matter
their sex! As long as they are good
to you then keep them!
Relationships could come and go but
true friendship is forever and
invaluable!

 He sounds insecure you should keep
seeing your friends but reassure
and make your man feel good by
addressing that your friends aren't
a threat to him.

 I know that's how guys are but
friends are your friends and if you
had this friend before the guy you
are with now i would not give him
up just because your bf does not
want you to have any male friends
chances are you will still have
those friends when you bf is gone
like i said i don't know how long
you have been with this guy that's
just how i feel.

 Truthfully, its about having
confidence in yours and his
relationship. When i worked as a
male nurse 90% of my friends were
girls. When i started going with my
now wife i could sense that she was
a bit uncomfortable with them even
though they went out of their way
to make her feel welcome. But
knowing that i had actually dated
some of them in the past made it
even more uncomfortable for her.
She never once asked me to stop
fraternising with them outside of
work. As our relationship continued
i gradually saw less and less of
them. My late mother asked me if i
loved her, i said yes. She then
added that if i really loved her
and wanted to marry her that i
should always put her feelings
first. Even those she has not
expressed. Put yourself in her
shoes and imagine things were
reversed. I understood and my
friendships remained within work.
Would you really feel happy if he
kept hanging out with girls you
didnt know. Girls he may previously
have had a relationshipo with.

 Your male friends should
strictly be your friends , you
should not have sex with every
male friend ..your boyfriend
and / or husband is the one you
have sex with

 I would tell him he needs to except
your friends if he wants you to
accept his friends. Maybe tell him
look I won't hang out with them all
the time or without telling you,
but they are my friends and you
can't give up your life just
because this guy doesn't like it.
Everyone needs friends. If you have
to give up your friends for him
then he should have to give up his
for you. Fair is fair! He needs to
know what comes around goes around.
If he doesn't let you keep your
friends and won't listen to you or
give up his friends too then you
need to walk away from him cause he
probably doesn't like your male
friends cause he doesn't trust you.
Trust is very important and you
shouldn't be in any relationship
unless there is trust there. Good
luck and I hope this helps!
