Can men and women be friends without sex?

my ex boyfriend 18-8.says women and men can be friends with out any sex at times he would go out with anywhere from two to six women. An when I had a problem with it he made me feel like a foo what do you think?

It’s not right in my books to "go out" with other women if I was in a serious relationship with some girl. It's a trust issue and I think the "trust" falls on him in this situation to not put what you’ve built together in jeopardy. I have a bunch of friends who would disagree, but then these aren’t the people who have model relationships in my books. But we’re not all after the same things, are we?

it's not healthy in a relationship for guys to go out with women or women to go out with guys. not saying it can't be done, but it can make some uncomfortable. think about it. you have someone you love very much sitting there and you say your going out with some friends of the opposite sex tonight. the only way your partner would be 100% comfortable with that was if they were invited to go along. i wouldn't even think of asking my wife if i could go out with some of my female friends. doesn't even sound right to me, but that's just me.

His story sounds a bit fishy to me! First of all we are not talking about one really close girl friend but numerous women that should tell you right there something is not right here. Is there some reason he cannot choose males friends another not so good sign. Lastly he is in a relationship with you. Healthy relationships are formed from a deep respect. That means being aware of how your actions will affect your partner and vs. He is fully aware of the boundary lines of what he can and cannot do and hanging out with multiple women is in the cannot category. You already know that for him to hangout with these women is not what you want from him. Your intuition is telling you not to believe the things he is trying to convince you of so stop and really listen to yourself. DOn't be fooled into what other people want you to believe.

My best friend is a very hot looking girl.I once had a crush but today we are close friends and nothing more. We share everything but nothing more. she's like my sister now also she's married and her husband trusts us to go out alone together for lunches. So, it can be done then again, all my friends are female.

I tell people I'm serious with that I have women friends. I don't lie about them. I feel that if she trusts me enough, it will never be an issue .
I tell everybody in my 'inner circle' of friends that the quickest way to leave the group is to come in between me and my friend(s).
It works the other way as well. I don't mind if I'm in a relationship with someone with guy friends, even if it is an ex. If I trust them, it isn't an issue.
'Cause as long as they're with me at the end of the day, it's good.

more than possible

however sex is also always possible

it,s funny how life works out sometimes

Men and women can definitely be friends without sex, if someone tells you otherwise, then they are missing out on alot in life.

Just because someone happens to be a member of the opposite sex doesn't mean you have to have sex with them. I have very good friends of both sexes, and I go out with whomever happens to be available when I go out. I would not miss out on having my friends for the world.

If the person you are with doesn't trust you enough to go out with friends of the opposite sex, then there are some serious trust issues that need to be deal with. Also, if you were going out why wouldn't you invite your signifigant other along? Don't you want to be with them? I would always invite them along.

Also, if you are not capapble of going out with friend of the opposite sex and not have sex with them all, then that is your problem.

There IS more to life than sex. Sex is but one facet on the jewel that is life and relationships. Explore the other facets such as, intelligent conversation, hanging out, being there for a friend, helping someone out, giving praise.you know all the good stuff you can do with all your friends, besides having sex with them.

Yes, I believe it is called "platonic" friendship. I suspect if you work, you have friends of both sexes at work, doesn't mean you have to go out and "play". You can have a successful breakup (love each other but know you're not right for each other) and remain friends w/out sex. It is humanly possible. It boils down to each individual person is and what their comfort level is. Some are comfortable with their partners having friends of the opposite sex, while others aren't.

yes that sounds very wonderful in theory but the human relationship is much more complex then it's my way or the highway. They often involve sacrifices on both parts. Knowing that your partner the one you supposidly love is not understanding or hearing your wishes is hardly solid grounds for a lasting relationship. Communication break down is the major killer of relationships. Regardless of whether all of us think that this is right or wrong or if we are capable ourselves the point is that this leap 49 is not cool with it. We do not know this situation at all only by the info given to us. Using that info it is easy to see that leap49 already knows that this situation is not right for her. I sense that she is seeking confirmation on something that she knows is not right after all she knows the situation better than we do. She is with this guy. So who better to judge than her! Trusting your intuition is definatly one of the hardest things to do but when you learn to do it it rarely is wrong. Go with your instinct.
