I have a level???

I don't care where he gets hungry... As long as he comes home to eat...

for me, it would depend on whether they were pre-existing friends or if he were making them after we'd started dating.

another difference would be whether they were my friends as well, or whether he kept them hidden away and they only saw each other separate from me.

My ex hubby had women friends!!! 1 was a butch.......seriously I thought it was a guy!!!

Another was a woman with fingernails so long you could use them as a shovel!!!! She skeeeeeeeeeeered me with those claws!!!

Don't mind usually.. unless they are exs. Then it kinda rubs me the wrong way. (if kids are invovled another story)

I have very close friends of the opposite sex. I wouldn't give up for a S/O. In saying that I would be a bit shocked if he didn't have female friends along with male friends.

It's silly. If you are that insecure in your relationship you shouldn't BE in it. Period.

That's a very general question. What do you mean by "friends"; and how would they be interacting with them and how often. I need the question operationalized, damm!t. For example, are these "friends" they'd be meeting for romps, having phone sex, dancing, drinking, or cybering with? Are they friends they have frequent, intimate phone conversations or tete-a-tete dinners with? Or, is is something a lot less personal, even including others?

My response can vary from one end of the spectrum to the other, depending on the circumstances.

Might be safer that way, yes. Although there are no guarantees in life.

Friends are friends... you can't just abandon them at the whim of someone's insecurities. My friends have withstood the passing through my life of my significant other... and they are still here and s/o is not.

No, maybe insecure, depending on how you handle it.

good point
