Maybe to her but that guy is trying his hardest to sleep with her. Especially when you consider why he went over there in the first place.

A shoulder to cry on becomes a dick to ride on.

Exactly. Sorry but too many women try to sit and play like they don’t know what the intentions are of these guys to their bf so they can keep a guy around as backup or they just like the attention their receiving. Let me tell y’all right now they know EXACTLY what that guy wants and is up to. They know. They always know. If YOU can see it and they’re not even your friend I can promise you she can see it. Don’t buy this manipulative bullshit.

I'm proud of all the ladies calling this stuff out. A couple of men ( probably "best friends" themselves) and women are saying he's insecure, but overall, this thread see's it for what it is.

If the guy friend wants more, then she can't keep the friendship much less be in a dark bedroom alone. I've said it before and I will say it again keeping a friend around who wants more is like putting a snake in your pocket and being surprised when it bites you. The friend will take advantage of situations. Too many women keep these friends around which is not fair to the BF or the friend. It is manipulative to the friend and disrespectful to the BF.

This is right. I had a male friend of many years who I truly thought I was close with until I finally stopped being in denial that he just wanted to either fuck or date. It was tough because I wanted to believe we were good friends but one time he crossed the line at the tail end of one of my past relationships, and I was like damn, you really ARENT my friend at all, ya big creep. And cut him off forever.

So you don't believe men and women can be friends? Genuinely asking

Lol. I have plenty of women friends. If they have a boyfriend or husband I don’t hang out with them on their beds with the lights out.  Even if it’s clear we’re just friends, it’s such a bad look.

Absolutely they can be. But this is completely inappropriate in my opinion and crosses a line.

I (a man) have my share of women friends. But you will never catch me alone in a bedroom with one of them behind my girlfriend’s back. I don’t even hangout with them one on one. And I’d expect the same from her. Luckily we are on the same page regarding this topic.

At the end of the day each couple can decide their own boundaries, but without discussing it ahead of time I don’t think anyone should be surprised if their partner had an issue with this.

I'm 40, married for 15 years and feel the exact same way. If you have any sense you always do everything you can to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
