We all are products of relationships.
It is the reason we value relationships in an important way. And Sometimes, these relationships clash with each other.

Personally, No, I’d never allow my spouse to have a best friend of the opposite sex. To start with, if I’m not your best friend why are we even in such a relationship?

For your relationship to grow stronger, that friendship with the opposite sex must either be reduced to just friends or better still, terminate it. For it’s just a matter of time before they cross a line.

I’m talking about, unhealthy feelings which eventually lead to aggressive fornication and even if that didn’t happen which I seriously doubt, that much attention and time you give to a supposed best friend of the opposite sex puts your partner in an awkward position. Don’t do it, it will end in tears.
Nairalanders, what do you think about this?

All the people engaging their selves in bestie this and that will go to hell fire, don't ask me why they have spoilt many relationships and successful marriages they think they are wise

They spoilt your relationship, pele.

i think it is a bit sad that a person should dictate who a woman can be bestie with ... if you have a problem with a woman having a male bestie then DONT HAVE A SERIOUS R/SHIP WITH HER OR TRY TO MARRY HER, instead of trying to change her.

it says a lot about a man who gets into a r/ship with someone, decides to marry her and then suddenly start to say:"you cant do this and you cant do that" which she was clearly doing all along and he had no problem with beforehand.

Get my own bestie too, but will be a Big yanch and boobs lady!

Bestie, most times, is a coded name for side boyfriend and side chick. I am not totally comfortable with my girlfriend having male bestie and that's why when I am going close to a girl and I want something genuine with her, if she has a male bestie, I will speed up. I can't dictate for her, in summary, girls with male bestie are not my spec.

Although, some girls here will call me insecure but will still go and fvck their male bestie.

I love to be a friend before becoming a lover, if I don't fit into that shoe of a friend whom you can trust, communicate and spend time with, then what is the essence of the relationship?

Then it becomes clear she's from the streets and unto the streets she shall return.
