I am 20 years old, my boyfriend is 24, and we have been together for 2 years. For the past year we have been living together. Things have been rocky, and we have a lot of issues but that's a whole different story. My question is what is reasonable when it comes to men and having female friends. I have guys as friends, either I went to school with or from work, and don't want to sound like a hypocrite when it comes to his female friends, but its ridiculous. Its not like they are friends he went to school with or has known for a while. The only girl he is "friends" with that he has even known longer then me is his ex of 6 years, and he is adamant about maintaining a friendship with her. He hides it from me though. He took her out to breakfast a month ago for her birthday, and I didn't know about this til I saw a bank statement. He meets girls on facebook and myspace, and sometimes they initiate the contact but he pursues it. recently this girl sent him a message on facebook so he added her. they started chatting on aim i guess. well a couple nights later i saw a picture of her in his phone. that to me is crossing the line. why did she even have his phone number at all? and he says he didn't ask for her to send the pictures, at 2 am. she just did. but he had told her she looked good, and when i asked him about it he said he was just trying to be nice. i know that is bull, i don't need anyone to tell me that. i just want to hear from everyone in their opinions and experience what they think is ok and not. i contacted this girl and asked her about it and she in turn took him off her friends, but i later found out they still talk on aim and text all the time. there are a hundred more incidents of females, online mostly, that he says are just friends and i should let him have friends. to me, you don't go find your female "friends" on dating applications on facebook and such and give them your phone number and then hide everything from your girlfriend. there is so much to the story, so I guess I'm just wondering how everyone else feels. any questions to help explain are welcome..
