Hey everyone do you think it's alright if you partner talks to the oppisite sex? Because my boyfriend think that if you talk to other guys than i am betraying him in a way. So what does everyone think?? Would you let you partner talk to other women or men?

There is nothing wrong talking with someone from the oposite sex.

Welcome to the board mizzbryant,


In every day life, you have to talk to members of the opposite sex.

Of course it's okay. Not only is it okay, it's absolutely necessary to have a healthy, normal life while you are in a relationship. Being in a relationship does not mean hiding away from all other people or being possessed by the person you are with. It sounds as though your boyfriend is very, very insecure and possessive. Talking to others has nothing at all to do with betrayal. As I said, we need all kinds of activities and friends in life.


You should ask yourself what kind of relationship you are in? This boyfriend seems extremely dominating and confused. Being with someone who does not want you to talk to others, or who blames you for it, can be very destructive for you. Be careful.


Best wishes,
