My thing is if we single or friends, it is what it is....if we're dating, alls fair....if you think you're wife material there's, a higher standard to achieve. Otherwise what's the point?

No real woman will ever entertain such nonsense
This...You want the honest truth?
The only reason she asked you if you ok with her hanging out with dude is one of two reasons:
A. She wants to test the waters and see what's out there, opening the door to her being tempted. It's one thing when she gets hit on walking down the street or at work by a coworker. But now you have alone time with little innuendo's getting to know each other on the way to the game, at the game and on the way home. That's a date in my book.
Or...
B. She testing you to see if you serious enough to get upset about it or if you ok and nonchalant about letting her go out with a "friend".
Either way, it leads to temptation. It don't have to be this immediate moment, but could be some time later on, much later on and she will always have a door she can go knocking on, in the back of her head, when you and her have a little "spat" or fight over nonsense.
Food for thought, shut it down...
Why doesn’t your lady see it as inappropriate? I would love to hear her argument on this one.
Exactly.Never trust a woman with a lot of male friends especially a woman that pretends that those male friends are not lying in wait to fuck. That woman may never cheat physically but she will emotionally and in a women's world that type of cheating is worse.
This is exactly what I said bro. Wow.1. Don't even get me started about chicks and "grandfathering" dudes into the picture. And how they refer to any past guy as a "friend"..like I'm fuckin stoopid
2. And another dumb ass issue that we been had, and that came up again that same night we were at the bar, was every time we drink she talks about the issue that I mentioned before, plus asks why she can't come to happy hour with me and my boys. Me and my boys only go to happy hour once every month or six weeks, but she presses issue every once in awhile. My rebuttal was that (a)she never invites me out with her girls (Ive never met ANY of her friends, and she's way more social than me), and (b) I would invite her out if she invites her girls too. Reason being when I go out with my boys it's like a locker room, and it's the only time these days we actually get the band back together and mix it up. I can't understand why she would want to be the only girl there, so that shit's fishy to me as well. Again if I'm just smashing some bird and she's my homegirl oh, yeah come out whenever. But if your wifey I ain't trying to have you be the only chick at the bar with me and my boys. That's not my style.
Exactly. Most of these issues where her friends but she asked what if it was us and I said nah. You can’t be running with dudes when you got a man. And your homegirls love hanging wiry married or taken dudes and acting surprised the wives don’t like that shit. She said the guy and girl was friends long before he got married. I said that don’t mean Shit. He married somebody so your friend can’t invite him to shit anymore. And she should have known that.Man,all of this is bullshit and these relationships won't last long enough to turn into anything positive because jealousy deep rooted and if someone's not it's because their doing their own dirt and don't give a fuck.
If you compromise early on,you'll be doing that til the shit ends;We all expect certain things from someone we are in a relationship with and when you don't in no shape way or form,it's doomed to fail cause it's lop-sided or some weirdo shit going on....
If she's dealing with you because you're the one she can bring home to her family,you're not the one she desires ....let her gooooo now!!!
Absolutely NOTHING!!!!

Not the women I have dealt with. It becomes obvious as fuck if you listen and observe. Hoes trying to run from their hoeing ways to become wifey struggle with where the line is drawn. They will conform for a little while until the right opportunity present itself. Chicks that are the product of good healthy relationship don't entertain work husbands, play cousins, or male friends that she only has a relationship with.That's not true. They will help they all do to a certain extent. I've been on the other side of that coin: 'REAL GOOD' woman fucked my brains out then went back to 'hubby'.
I say that to say this...
The relationship is ultimately about YOU and what YOU want in ANY woman who is in YOUR REALTIONSHIP.
Your current woman is currently the woman holding that spot now....FOR NOW.
Here are my demands...
Here is the door- it is open...
You can walk out anytime...
Just know that if you try to stay and don't abide by my rules...
You will be escorted out just as easily...

This all day long.
In my mind, the only seriously committed relationship is marriage. (maybe engagement?) For me, dating is an observation period to see if the other person is marriage material. (I assume and act like she is doing the same to me).
I would NEVER try to change a woman- they either have what I'm looking for or not. I also would never expect a woman to try to change me. I either have what she is looking for or I don't.
the dating period is simply taking the time to feel each other out (no pun intended) to see if you and your partner are on the same page, or have the same general outlook on those important "deal breaker" issues that we all have.
(character, finance, kids, fidelity, goals, etc... whatever is important to you.)
In the situation the O.P posted, I wouldn't say shit about a woman I was dating going to an NBA game with a male coworker who knew she had a man.. but if she didn't turn it down, I would know that she wasn't the one for me.
I would also expect her to only deal with him on a professional level from that point on- as that is how I would treat a woman who invited me on a "date" (which we all know it was) when they already knew I was dating someone.
If she decided to go on that "date", our "relationship" would never get more serious that it was at that point. It might not end today or tomorrow or next week, but I know I wouldn't wife a woman who still wants to hang out with
other dudes after "taking this further".
100% cosign. He choosing wrong if his choice is a woman doing some shit he doesn't like. There are way too many woman out there to settle for bullshit.
Now, if my WIFE came to me talking that shit.... HELL NO, WOMAN, you better turn on TNT and catch the game.
Not the women I have dealt with. It becomes obvious as fuck if you listen and observe. Hoes trying to run from their hoeing ways to become wifey struggle with where the line is drawn. They will conform for a little while until the right opportunity present itself. Chicks that are the product of good healthy relationship don't entertain work husbands, play cousins, or male friends that she only has a relationship with.
My wife and I have been married for 20 years and we dated for 5 prior to getting married. She has a small circle of girlfriends, one who she has known for nearly 30 years. We are close to her and her husband but I ain't texting or hanging with her friend and her husband ain't communicating with my wife. The only male friends my wife have are her brothers and first cousin.
She had to check a dude at her job that was trying to contact her off work hours or be her "friend". She gave him one warning before telling me and documenting the shit with HR. That negro waited for nearly a year before trying to straight up holla. The dumb negro ended up getting fired because he was actually screwing one of the other married chicks that worked for him and he acted a fool when she tried to end it. Had my wife not documented his inappropriate behavior he might have kept his job.
The bottom line, my wife don't fuck with other dudes because I forbid her, she is grown. She doesn't do shit like that because of her character. If you have a women that is insistent on having other dudes in her life, you either need to choose again or live with it.
Excellent insight.imma add on to this insight..................
he is right you dont own her. the only person you can control in a relationship is you. HOWEVER, females are competitive by nature and one thing i have learned over the years is to use their hypergamous nature against them. If they have male friends, then you should have females friends. if they can go out with members of the opposite sex on some ol we cool ish, then so should you. Im not saying take advantage of the situation to fuck outside the relationship. im saying that if you know you are a good man and handling business, then no need to worry about the competition. good men are hard to come by these days for women.....if you good to her and she is good with you, then dont worry about the scenario, its on her to make sure she doesnt fuck up a good thing. bc just having female friends around you lets her know that she aint the only one hawking you. females cant go out on a friendly meet and NOT be thinking about what her man is doing right now unless she already has design on other things. if you got females friends, then she knows other women will want what she has and she wont eff it up.
if you ever seen that movie "rising sun" with sean connery and wesly snipes. seans character dropped pimp game in that movie. He was always talking about how he kept the little birds in the cages with the door open. He said always leave the door open for them to leave. they will always come back bc they know that they are free to leave any time. its that reverse psychology that fucks them up. no female is giving up that kind of freedom by fucking it up. plus it frees you of all the stress and worry and lets you get on with whatever you want to do.....care free and stress free.

Indeed fam. At the end of the day, a chick is going to do what she wants. My ol lady knows where I stand and I know where she stands. If dudes are still struggling with the do's and don't's of their relationship in my opinion that shit won't end well.We're in different rooms of the same house.
I agree with what you are saying - character counts- so does letting a person know what you will and will not tolerate from them in a relationship with you.
I don't trust my wife in and of herself. I don't have to- I trust my relationship with her which means I have been very clear with her about what I will and will not tolerate from any woman in a relationship with me.
The door in my relationship is always open. She can leave when ever she wants.
She can also be escorted out.

Uhhuh, fall for that “it’s just drinks!” line if you want to, I have a coworker in a relationship who swearssssssssssss she loves her dude and pulls that bullshit every few weeks and more often than not it leads to an Uber back to the person’s crib she went out with and she ends up getting fucked. Next 2 weeks it’s sadness and tears then a couple weeks later rinse and repeat. I could’ve hit after more than a few work functions if that was my wave
Some hoes want you to play goalkeeper with the pussy, pass!!
Brotha, I just don’t see the point. If the two of them aren’t apart of a greater group of mutual friends that, at some point, you’ll be acquainted with then it’s fishy... I’m just going off my own experiences
Not to mention people are taking that whole “work husband” shit too serious, first it’s a game next he “threw on the grill last night and have leftovers” and brought her some, just playing the long game for the pussy

females will test the waters to see what we will say in this situation and every woman that i been in a serious relationship with i've always said fuck no. i've been called insecure and jealous...like i give a fuck thats my stance....deal with it. you got a good looking girl ....dudes are gonna try her can't blame them. i'm not gonna help them out and let that shit be a cake walk for them. a woman gonna do what she wants and rationalize it the way she wants but if they got a good dude they will come to their senses and see ain't nobody trying to control they asses.

Okay....
Both situations aren't easy but they are really simple.
It really comes down to time and the trust you have not in your spouse but in the relationship- which is nothing but the terms you agreed upon in it.
TIME works like this: do you want to spend the time worrying about every person potentially putting their bid in with your spouse or do you want to spend the time letting your spouse know THAT YOU KNOW they are very attractive, people are going to be attracted to them, and their intentions may not always have y'alls relationship in mind.
Don't let you spouse off the hook with that, "What? But I don't even see them like that?" song and dance. It's disingenuous; just because your spouse doesn't, does not mean the other person feels the same nor is the other person accountable to how they effect you and your partners relationship, your partner is.
So who your partner goes out with is not your burden to carry- it is theirs. The only time you need to spend is reminding them of that.

TRUST IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. "The only winning move is not to play. Your happiness is the game. [If your woman] doesn't want to play your game then you don't play." - Patrice O'Neal.
Don't worry about trusting your spouse. Focus on trusting the relationing you have with them which ultimately means trusting what you will and will not tolerate in a relationship that you would have with anyone. Make that known upfront, as clear and concise as possible, with friendly reminders. If they don't comply or figure it out then it's not because you weren't clear on what you wanted. Get rid of them.
Your spouse is just the person in your relationship right now- this is really about you and what you want in your relationship.

I'll say this, you cannot control who a person wants to be friends with or hang out with. That shit never ever EVER works and for the life of me I can't understand why dudes and chicks can't figure this out. I told my wife when we were dating you don't have to tell me where your going. Your a grown ass woman you go wherever you please. Once we got married I said the same thing...your a grown woman before your my wife I'm not regulating who you hang out with or where you go. You don't own the pussy. Best case scenario you leasing it. She can do whatever she wants with it whether you think she's hanging out with appropriate individuals or not. My point is once you don't let shit like that bother you it'll become less of an issue and theres a good chance she won't wanna hang out with members of the opposite sex like that. Regulating your partners friends for whatever reason you feel valid is taxing and draining. Very time consuming. Don't worry about that shit. She wants to go to a game with dude, let her. Fuck dat, find some other shit to do while she goes to the game. Other dude don't know you and shouldn't have any loyalty towards you. And if your girl looks good he certainly wants to fuck her while sucking on her titties (No disrespect). What do you want, a fat ass precious looking muthafucka nobody wants to fuck? Had a coworker one time who was upset his girl likes to go out with her girlfriends sometimes and doesn't like how sexy she gets dressed. He showed me a pic......chick was fuckin gorgeous. But she didn't wear no outrageous shit. I said dude, she 24, you 26. Da fuck you look like regulating what she wears and where she goes? She grown. All I'm saying is don't waste your time with that shit man. Women are illogical, so of course the same shit doesn't apply for us but if you know that already it wouldn't surprise you and just make moves around that shit. Relax dude, it'll be ok.

My chick and i were discussing the rules of what has to change when you get into a serious relationship. Her thing was she has guy friends that, even if we take this further, she wants to still hang out with. I told her it depends on what, where and why. She said a male coworker invited her to an NBA game because he had an extra ticket. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with his invite. I feel that dude knows she has man, and he should have asked a dude or any other single female to go to that game with him, not a female he knows has a dude. She thinks i am overreacting, i told her dude has zero respect for her relationship and he is testing the waters to see what little shit you might do now so he can push the boundaries later on. Once you commit or get married, serious guy friends need to fall back.
She then asks me if her female friend was wrong for inviting a married dude out for a platonic situation. All 3 know each other. The wife wasn't cool with it, but dude went anyway. I feel that is my girls friend really valued their marriage, once she saw the wife didnt want to go and wasn't cool with her man going out with her, she should have taken the invite off the table. I think she said Fuck Yo Couch to their marriage by going with the married dude anywhere after that.
Thoughts?
Would like to hear your take...
*two cents*
What things can your chick or wife STILL do with her guy friend or friends that you wont have an issue with? Can she go out for drinks, smoke or go to the movies with her dude friend? Whatever the scenario, what are you not cool with?
Absolutely NOTHING!!!!

Uhhuh, fall for that “it’s just drinks!” line if you want to, I have a coworker in a relationship who swearssssssssssss she loves her dude and pulls that bullshit every few weeks and more often than not it leads to an Uber back to the person’s crib she went out with and she ends up getting fucked.

I don’t know her friend that well. I assume mid 30s. My chick didn’t do this she was asking why the dudes wife was so upset and I told her ol girl shouldn’t be asking a married dude to do Shit. I don’t care if they was born on the same day and became friends. If dude got married and his wife ain’t with the bitch need to fall back and admit she fucked up deep down wanna Sabotage his marriage. That’s what I see.Let's look at this sentence, "she has guy friends that, even if we take this further, she wants to still hang out with."
Really? Is she extending that same courtesy to you with the women you know and hang out with? If her answer is yes then there's nothing serious going on with your relationship.
The NBA Game invite, if she was serious about the relationship, he gets turned down cold. "She doesn't think there is anything wrong with his invite." How old is this chick?
I'm not going through this word for word. I'll just say this. Ask yourself this, am I compromising what I really want in a woman to be with this girl? Is she really worth that compromise? You already know she's not.
A woman that truly has your best interest at heart would never say or ask you questions like that. Do what you want just don't get her preggy.
She doesn't have one...nor does she need one really.

Spoken like a man... you spitting truth man. When I was in to cars I had an Escalade I would be like here, take the keys go out have fun.
I just can’t worry like that because if I don’t trust her to act right when I’m not around I don’t need to be there.
On the flip side I had no issues doing whatever I wanted to do.
Real talk. And again, we never realize how stressful it is to regulate who your mate is talkin too or hanging with. Tends to have you forget about the most important things in your relationship and what brought you two together in the first place. You can't give someone that much control over your relationship. If you don't trust her that much just move on. But it may not be her issue it maybe yours and the guy will take that "you shouldn't be talking to him" mentality right into another relationship. Plenty of men and women look for those moments and don't even know it. I don't have the patience for that shit. Too many other more important things I'm dealing with and taking care of to make an attempt to control what I ultimately will never fully control. Grandma told me years ago never stress over shit you can't control. I ain't got the time man.Spoken like a man... you spitting truth man. When I was in to cars I had an Escalade I would be like here, take the keys go out have fun.
I just can’t worry like that because if I don’t trust her to act right when I’m not around I don’t need to be there.

We live in a time where in western civilization, women are being encouraged to be as impulsive as they want to be and to shun anyone who dares question them. If they have a goal, any goal, they should pursue it and anyone questioning their "divine decision" is in the way. This is a very dangerous line of thinking that has brought about many divorces and break-ups in recent years.
When you tell a child that they can have anything they want, they don't understand why you say no when they ask for a loaded gun. They see your "no" as an obstacle rather than seeing it as a preventative refusal of allowing access to something that can harm them and/or others. Many women today behave with the impulsiveness of a child, especially when it comes to relationships. The government, media and most of society is in cahoots to undermine any authority you may have. you have three choices: fight it; roll with it, or opt out.
The level of maturity of a woman can be measured by her ability to control her impulses.
Don't take this to limit it just to your girl. Many women are straight competitive. Will not expose you to her friends because she don't want to open the door to her friends being attracted to you maybe.she never invites me out with her girls (Ive never met ANY of her friends, and she's way more social than me
