If she can't see a single man from husband family and no single man from her own family to be discussing her marital issueS with but unrelated male friend, such woman is nothing but rag. She is olosho in making who wouldn't think twice to bed her so called bestie.

That's your opinion and how you feel, it doesn't have to be the way she also see things.
And let me add: now that you're talking about them having sex, I must remind you that you're way off what you started.

Ask urself honest question, if ur wife is fun of discussing ur marital issueS with her male friend, how would you feel?
One: as long as the advice doesn't mislead her, why would anyone take offence from where the advice is coming from?
Two: will she tell you or anyone for that matter where she's taking advice? Lol

Yes! If the girl, is not the type that always see friendship of opposite sex as means of income. In a relationship between a boy and a girl, once the starts demanding for money from the guy, the guy will also start to demand for sex as a compensation. But I do tell my fellow guys that counting sex as your benefits after spending on a girl, is a stupid thinking.
If sex is the only thing you get after spending on your girlfriend, then such a guy is double Lossing, because you are financially and nutritiously at loss, especially if you cannot marry the girl.

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 sad

Exactly!! I totally agree with the bolded and I can tell you with total conviction that just as you discipline yourself, and make sacrifices to hussle and achieve in this life, so also is relationships where you just don't respond to every feelings that comes in btw relationships you have with the opposite sex, or else we are no different from animals that are wired that way.

U see many of proponents of female besties don't know the different between CLOSE FRIEND AND (NEIGHBOURS, CO-WORKERS, SAME-CHURCH, SCH-MATES even ACQUITTANCE.)


That's why as a man it's absurd to say you
Have female friends, I detest that language.

Yes. Depending on your age and maturity

From your teenage years to perhaps 36years your libidos are high, you have high testosterone and you want more sex...

sometimes after 36 you have probably fvcked black white, yellow, green, fat , slim, girls.. and sex isn't your priorities

When sex is no longer your priorities you set a realistic goal of relationship

Increase that age to 56.

Someone said a responsible lady should cut off all her male friends once she get married,but nigerian girls are wired with freebies and that is what makes it hard for them to let go of their male friend even after they got married...once your girlfriend or fiancée is having many male friends than female friends trust me you'll always have issues,women don't make Friends with man they are not benefiting anything from👂

I have 4 people I call friends, closer than siblings. 2 are men. We all respect each other. We are all rising together. They are my happy places without pressure to impress or hide our increase. I love all 4 of them.

They're friends and he's a man who she thinks would probably understand the mind of another man and she trusts him not to mislead her. Must she take advice from her family members even when she feels that she doesn't want family members involved?

You clearly do not understand. They are not supposed to be friends in the first place. How can you as a wife have a male friend that is not also a friend to your husband? Plus the wife, plus the so called friend are daft.


The reason why a married woman is seeking advice from you a male whp is neither a friend of the husband or a relative is because she is daft or a poorly brought up woman without self respect to start with. If she had any self respect, you would not friends. So it is no surprise she has problems at home. Again if you were well brought up and had any self respect, you would distance yourself from married women. The only business a man has with a married woman is professional or as a friend of the family. Family means you are a friend to both the husband and the wife.

Once a woman marries, her marital problems are not your business and you as a man should not be in a position where she can come to you. You should be worried that a married woman is confiding in you. I don’t know what kind of upbringing and values we have in society that I even need to explain this to people.

Would you want your own wife sharing details of your relationship with strangers or running to another man every time you have problems? What is wrong with you people?

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!


If you have a female friend your wife is not aware of, there is something unwholesome about the relationship. If you are friends with a man’s wife and he is not aware of or fully aware of the nature of your friendship, there is something unwholesome about the relationship. Full stop!

You are not brought up well if you think as a married woman or man you can have platonic friendships with people of different sex that are not also friends to your partner or a relative.

Does your father have female friends that is not also a friend to the family? Does your mother have male friends that are not friends to the father or the family? Nonsense!

If you have a relationship/friendship so close to someone that you share intimate details and your partners are not aware of it, it is a signal, you should not be in that relationship/friendship.

There is nothing like different interpretations of life. There is right and there is wrong, there is moral and there is immoral. “Different interpretations of life” and all that crap is what people say to justify bad immoral and wrong behavior.

My friend, if between your parenting, your church or mosque, your school and your friends you became an adult without a firm sense of certain ground rules of life, then there is nothing I can say on Nairaland that will make a difference.
