Can you have Opposite sex friends in a relationship?

I told my boyfriend that a month ago. He wasnt friends with her beforehand, but he kept talking to her and texting her when i would text her first. She is 18 , i am 20, and he is 27... so i was afraid of him thinking she was prettier than me,and wanting to get with her, or that my family could get REALLY mad and assume something bad.

Maybe your wife feels like she is being left out. You should include her and show her how the friendship is only a simple friendship and not anything more...

I want you to think about why your wife might be feeling so insecure. Maybe she's needing more attention than she's been getting. Maybe she feels like she gets less of your time or focus and is feeling scared or nervous about your relationship. Sometimes this can get expressed as a form of jealousy because she is just afraid to ask whether you still love her.

What if you tried showing her in new ways how much you still care? How about doing something for her without being asked? Or saying the kind of words that make her feel more sure of her attractiveness to you so she doesn't have to wonder? Or taking her out to dinner for no reason and paying extra attention to her? I'm just trying to say that maybe it's not about the cousin but about your wife's needs.

I AM THE WIFE he is not telling the whole story that she jus became a lesbian recently last year she was with a guy. Also that she calls him at 2 in the morning. Also he didn't say that he keeps his phone on him all the time n when I ask him if I can See it he tells me no so he must be hidding something. So if ur in a relationship u. Should be honest with your spouse and not hide stuff if nothing is going on.

Well your wife sounds really jelaous (kinda like me lol) I'd notice that in my relationship having friends of the opposite sex doesn't really work with us. The only girls my boyfriend talks to are his bestfriends girlfriends. I think your wife shouldn't be mad because its her cousin that you are talking to. Sometimes us girls just feel insecure about our boyfriends/husbands talking to other girls. I think you should try talking to her and telling her that it is her cousin that your friends with its not like it is some random girl your friends with.

If that doesn't work then i guess your just going to have to respect her wishes. Or you could always just pull the whole I dont care card I'm going to talk to whoever i want. I wouldn't advise you to say that though. Goodluck I hope i helped.

Ask the wife why she 'wishes' this?

And point out if you did want to cheat does she think you would target her lesbian cousin who introduced you two?

Come on...tell her that she is being DUMB.

Better to listen to your wife to avoid unpleasant situation. It may be out of jealousy.

You can have friends no matter what anyone says. your wife shouldn't mind especially is its her cousin but i think you should still be friends with her.

Why is she asking you to stop talking to your long time friend who isn't even a threat? There has to be a reason. I personally would not put up with someone who is trying to tell me who or who not to be friends with.
