Do most girlfriends nowadays allow you to have freedom? Like hanging out with others of the opossite sex and doing whatever you want without question. Are most relationships like that? I think relationships like that are the ones that last forever. Like many people I know. They didnt care if they had friends of the opossite sex. They could go into town for a whole day and no issues would come up.

My brothers girlfriends that he gets always accuse him of lieing. He has to keep account of all the things he did and at what time. Is that a rare kind of relationship?

I hope I dont ever get into a relationship where I can hang out with my friends.

I don't know many girls that do, but I know I give my boyfriends freedom.

I'd give my lover their freedom. If they chose to be with me on a saturday night instead of hanging with their mates, I'd be fine with that, and I'd be fine if they went out for a pint or to a movie without me, too. TC, your brother's GF is an insecure lady, and she's quite possibly cheated on someone before, which explains why she's all about knowing where and what he did.

I think it comes down to trust in the end, if you both trust each other in a relationship, then it's easy as pie to allow these 'freedoms' to happen.

I still know a lot of girls who are ridiculous in this regard however, and have a hissy fit if their boyfriend wants to hang out with a female friend, not to mention the ones who are rabidly anti-porn and other such nonsense :roll:

i give my girl all the freedom she wants
i want the same in return
we don't always have to be with each other 24/7, we have our own lives
she cheated on me in the past once, but after 6 years we've grown a lot closer

About the female friend thing, sometimes they have a good reason to having a fit. I've flirted with one of my male friends, who is on/off dating my former best friend (long story, lol), and if I wasn't just a bit loyal to her still, we'd probably have been doing more than just shameless flirting. And I'm ashamed to admit that.

And I'm ashamed to admit that.

Well in this case I suppose the girlfriend has to feel they can trust both the boyfriend *and* the female friend he wants to hang out with. That latter part is harder to do I guess. Most of my close friends IRL are guys and when they have had girlfriends in the past I've found it hard when said girlfriends are OK with them hanging out with our other male friends but not when I'm present in the group - despite the fact that I am not/have never been interested in any of them sexually. I find it hard to convince the girlfriends of that fact.

If the guy is at all likely to do something untoward - such as in your case kinda I guess - then I can see why she'd have a problem with it. But like I said it's all down to trust, if you can trust each other then it's all good, if you can't trust each other there's probably more problems in the relationship to address than simply 'allowing freedoms' or not. In your case if the guy *had* cheated on her with you then that indicates problems in *their* relationship that she's not going to fix by simply not letting him near you again.

Also don't feel ashamed that a guy likes you even if he has a girlfriend. Again, his problem, not yours.

Edit: (and I wanna hear that long story some time :P )

If she doesn't trust me and has a fit if I hang out with other people then I'd drop her. Not worth my time.

Yes, it is rare... but I demand it. A girl WILL give me plenty of space, and I'll give her plenty. I'm never worried about my girlfriend cheating. If she really cares about me, then she won't do it. Me always smothering her so that she won't do it seems kind of stupid to me. If she would cheat on you when you weren't smothering her constantly, then why do you even bother with her?

Me and my girlfriend give each other freedom. She can hangout with whoever, but she doesn't, which I appreciate. I wouldn't get jealous or mad if she hung out with guys but if she doesn't want to, hey I won't complain.

If they do/can trust you, yes, but that has to be earned.

How?

The same way a girl earns a guy's trust?

It should be mutual.

If there is trust, and so long as everyone knows exactly their borders and are willing to restrict themselves when needed to reassure the other. yes.

and the girlfriends i've had in the past and had enough freedom for each other when dealing with the opposite sex. In only one case, out of the past 3 relationships (not including the current one) have i ever been cheated on.

I'd say yes, but it's not like freedom is rudimentarily restricted, it's just gradual as the relationship with the couple get closer and possibly move into married life.

It's not like one completely ceases their friendships with the opposite sex, it's just more limited then it was before.

At least that what i know what i'm going to do, as a sincere show to my woman.

Not making a universal statement, just a general statement as i see it.

I realize that other couples are different*
