Nta my man has girls who are friends and I have guys who are friends. I truly trust him and he tells me who girls are without me even having to ask. I also tell him if it’s a guy friend with things but overall we have enough trust in each other that it is not an issue because we are so open about it. An ex of mine literally may me drop a guy friend who wasn’t even into women before and I will never be with a man again who makes me drop my male friends most have been friends since middle school.

NTA if this guy off the bat wants to control your friends just because they’re men, that’s a huge red flag. if you let him control that as the relationship continues, he will continue to see what he can get away with and how far he can push you.

I started talking to this guy and I think he’s gonna ask me out soon. But today he asked if I would stop talking to so many guys. I told him I wouldn’t stop talking to the ones who are my friends/who I’m close to, but I would stop talking to guys who I’m not close with. It seemed like that wasn’t good enough for him. But I’m not willing to stop talking to close friends just because they’re guys

NTA but if you DO want to date him just make it clear that he has full access to whatever he needs to get over his insecurity. A lot of men think that men and women can’t be legit friends and vise versa. If you want full privacy then this might not be right for either of you.

NTA, he doesn't think it's possible to have platonic friendships with the opposite sex and that can also be a reflection of himself and how he sees women

My future bf can try and pry my friends from my cold dead hands

Nta. My bf said he didn’t like it bc he hadn’t met them. Yk damn well within the month he either met them or joined in on phone calls. Havnt heard a peep since other than “who were you otp w?” or “what was the topic of discussion today?” which is completely valid

Absolutely nta!! I’ve had a past partner act like this, actually, and it’s something that always raises a red flag. Even if they’re personally insecure, someone mature will not request that you change your behavior to accommodate that. At best,it is communicating that they are not willing to trust you—which is a huge problem in a relationship!—or at worst, they are purposefully trying to isolate you.
