Most of my friends are guys. My husband talks to them when we are on FaceTime. My friends gfs don’t like me but I’ve been friends with them for years prior to them getting in a relationship. My friends have honestly asked my opinion of their new gfs and we like to do a vibe check due to them having some insecure gfs in the past. I mean as long as y’all are just friends. I don’t see the issue.
I would have no problem getting to know my male friends' gf's ! I'd want the gfs to get to know me so I can actually show them that I am no threat to the relationship. Boundaries would be set, and I would give them all the space they need too.
That’s a tough one.. I think it depends on how long you’ve been friends with them. If you’ve known each other for many years prior to him being in the relationship, then I think it’s fine but boundaries should be set. I would personally try to befriend the girlfriend. I can definitely see how it can be disrespectful but again BOUNDARIES need to be set. If I was the girlfriend, I would like to know if he had close female friends prior to starting the relationship. From there we can discuss if that’s something I’m comfortable with and if I’m not, I wouldn’t even start that relationship.
