When Your Partner's Best Friend Is Of The Opposite Sex

I've never had an official partner, but I had a female best friend whose best friend was a guy.
She rubbed it in my face frequently, and I acted naively in return, trying to win her over.  It was all fun to her.

 

The thought is unsettling at first but they have to make it clear that their is no monkey business going on under your nose.

@Seun, I dey suspect you,  what do you mean by 'I've never had an official partner'

 

Well if they were simply very good friends, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. If it's all out in the open, no hiding, no lies, no secret meetings then why get upset?

At first it would be no big deal, but when your partner start talking about it too much then you would feel the effect.

If my best friend is a boy, nothing wrong wt that 
if my boyfriend's best friend is a girl, thats too annoying. 

Totally unacceptable as long as the person is not her relation. Whaaaat This is not something to show off how civilised you are with. Once a person is not related to you and is an opposite sex, its only a matter of time before something happens - unless you don't spend times together alone. God made it so. Its worse when the so called best friend is not even as close to you as he is to your girlfriend. You remain on your toes all the time and you are expected to understand or be seen as unduely jealous or domineering. Well I am talking from experience. It never ends well. Trust me.

If you can't help yourself in a male presence, that doesn't mean everyone must be like that!

Unless ya body na wood. 
If you are close enough to be the best friend of a pretty woman that happens not to be your relation, how long can you hold out?
People like to pretend a lot in public. They are lions in the closet
Nature is nature.

no mind them jare.
My village people even have a proverb in our local dialect meaning that Man and woman do not relate without something happening.

Scandalous!!
How can my babes best friend be another guy? Me nko? What am i suppose to be?
Her worst friend?
Think about this peeps.
I am supposed to be my partners best friend, anything less is unacceptable.
Shekina!

It all depends on how mature and confident you are.

i am very social and meet lot of girls, I can name up to 5 girls that i am best friends with for over 6 years and my ex's  were cool with it. They had too

But, if i realise one of my friend's (girl) boyfriend is  not so confident with me around, i limit my contact with her until he grows up or till she breaks up with the fool (eventually).

@topic,

I will be very comfortable if my Partner's best friend was a guy under one condition - He is totally confirmed to be uncompromisingly and absolutely gay. 

I will have a problem with it initially until I see where things are going and I do be cool. Just know that this is the guy or girl who will be f**king ur partner when u two divorce or when things go wrong, its very likely that they will be messing

Nothing bad in making the opposite sex ur best friend. But if my partner is complaining about it then reduce the intimacy for the sake of maintaining a stable relationship

for me ve always had more guyfriends n my best friend at the moment is a guy and it has never been an issue. to make it easier i introduce both of them n they are even kind of very close friends now because they share a lot in common. if ma boyfriend has a girl for a best friend  its iight so long she knows her limits

Let's all face the fact. This does not sound healthy to any relationship most especially when those best friends are not related. Otherwise I think maturity after marriage day may to some extent prevent the danger of " HOT BODY" ,  otherwise your fiance/fiancee/husband/wife is meant to be your best friend.
