DanielsParker:

I have one and she recently got a man, but she won’t stop calling me. I’ve turned to relationship counselor.

With due respect she is not acting right and you are not acting properly. Think to yourself, would you like your wife running to a man with all your marital problems, would you not feel disrespected? So why do that to another man?

The only male a wife should take her marital problems to (if she must her problems outside) are a male relative or her husband’s closest friend. Note I use singular. A good wife has one, no more than 2 male relatives or her husbands’ confidants that she can trust with her marital problems, if they are such that need external intervention. Her marital problems are not your business and again I repeat you are disrespecting her husband. What goes around comes around.

If she had any sense as a woman she wouldn’t bring her marital problems to you, if you had any wisdom as a man, and we’re truly her friend, you would tell her she is disrespecting her marriage and her husband by bringing her marital affairs to you. That is the acid test of your so called friendship. The minute you do she will stop calling you, but it is the right thing to tell her. So you see now that you really are not friends. Because you should be able to tell the truth to a friend without the relationship ending.

As a man you have no business in another woman’s marital affairs, the only women that should ever come to you are the wives of your best friend/brother/s or your sister/relative.

You are still young, just look at your moniker sef, you are not worth arguing with Mr bigdick

He is telling you an obvious truth, no age limit for a man who truly like sex. Try going out more and see older people carrying fresh young girls up and down.

Except you are deceiving yourself, you can't be a good friend to an opposite sex withiout setting a strict boundaries, and it becomes impossible if the person has a jealous partner. No sain man or woman will allow too much closeness of opposite sex to their partner, even if they are doing business together.

Because you forgot you where never in a relationship with her in the first place!! So where is the dumping?

I don't understand why we can have true love for brothers and sisters but when it comes to opposite sex of another different family, we start listing criteria of impossibilities

Ogbeni, Catching of FEELINGS must creep in from either the Guy or Lady. undecided

Anyone in a BestieShip, who believes otherwise is Deceiving his/her self. sad

Tranquility2345:
Never ever trust a girl that has male besties or that prefers to hang with guys. In most cases, she’s fukking them.

Those friendships occur because one person is attracted to the other that may not find them desirable at the moment. The undesired one accepts to be friend zoned with the hope of something happening in the future. And in many cases, something go happen. Una go fight and that bestie go take advantage to shine Congo. Infact, Bestie go dey pray say make una dey fight well well

Infact, girls that do write, "love you", "react in love emoji", "my boo", "my dear" for random guys on Facebook, in which they would say it's just for fun of it and thr is nothing btw them.

Beware of them, these girls/women fucck several of such guys , if u can get into their private chat, it will shock u.

What is bad in it. Sex is mutually agreed but everything is not sex. There are women that you can use to your advantage to grow your business to the benefit of both of you. Take my case, I have female friend that I have not seen since year 2020 but we chat regularly. She is happily married. She brings business from her and we share profit. We are not dating no assistance sex no sext chats, no nude pictures nothing romantic. But we chat nearly everyday. Even if it is to drop a sticker. When my wife is nagging and moody, what I do is I just book a call to her and we discuss other issues to allow my woman to cool off. We don't discuss family issues. I don't discuss my wife. She does not discuss her husband. It was her status that revealed she was the second wife of her husband and I never asked her but I know. But if there is money to be made, I am.her first contact.

First, the scenario you narrated is business partner and not friendship, but let say it's even friendship

If it's ur wife that is in your shoe, will you allow her? infact, will you give her opportunity to invite the man for discussion? Even when the man comes out clear that nothing more than business, will you still biliv and allow ur wife to continue friendship?

If ur wife chatting with a male friend deep into 2pm, how will you feel?

That's how marriage do crack and crash, if ur own wife strat chatting and having male friends, how will you chastise her when you urself is guilty of it?

If you leave her to be having friend just because you have, if her own now degenerate to ammouros, who will u blame?

Oga, I will advise you to reduce the friendship to bare minimum in which ur wife will even notice, don't let devil crack ur marriage because of things u think are not significant.
WE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GAME OF MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO DICTATE OF ITS RULES.

casualobserver:

I am glad you said “had” because all friendships with women end. That is ultimately why you cannot invest in a friendship with a woman…it ends the minute she marries. If it doesn’t then she is not a good woman and you are not a good man. It is disrespectful of you as a man to carry on a friendship with another man’s wife, so the minute she marries your friendship ends. This is assuming you actually had a real friendship in the beginning because she was most likely using you and you most likely were harbouring plans to get between her legs. Ask yourself, how many of your so called female friends were unattractive?

Women have men “friends” for different reasons, the one who helps her with her car problems, the one who takes her to club, the one who helps her with this the one who helps her with that. When a good woman marries, all her male related problems become her husbands responsibility and if she is well brought up and has any respect for herself and her husband, you will find out she stops calling you.

The only female friends a man can ever have are his female relatives. Otherwise you don’t know the meaning of friendship.

I live in the moment pls...

You digress a bit. All friendships end eventually for one reason or the other. I have also had very good male friends in the past some we no longer relate with each other. Some we relate just in passing. That bond that make a good friendship no longer there. Not that they were issues but maybe the friendship had served its purpose and we out grew it and moved on. These were guys we were so close we did everything together apart from sleeping with each other's girlfriends.

You think married guys do not end relationships with their unmarried male buddies too? I can tell you a personal story for free of how a guy I was best man for at his wedding started acting up right after the reception of his wedding towards his unmarried buddies and how he will "welcome" them back to the "click" when the become later married.

What is real friendship? Bro I feel everyone- male and female go into friendships for a reason. You are friends with your friends for a reason Dude. Does that mean you are taking advantage of them? Could be companionship or whatever... In the end no intention is truly genuine 100 percent.

Don't make it sound like women are villains for these reasons. Life happens.

It's odd and off you would say "the only friends a guy can ever have are his female relatives"
People do have sincere friendships with the opposite sex. I used my case as an example.

For the records none of My female friends were unattractive or ugly. I remember one in particular being a hottie and well composed/calm person who all the guys wanted.

In the very end we all have our different interpretation of life!

Yeah, very possible, as long as they don't see each other often and don't see each other's unclothedness and neither of them has feelings for the other.

Yes. And it is usually a cool friendship. But the thing can scatter the moment one of you have a partner who doesn't like you guys being friends as opposite genders.
I had one since year 2000 and we're still friends today despite being married for years.
