Hi guys, as per title said, what do everyone of you think? can male and female can actually be just friend?

Why am i asking this is, i have a gf who is a streamer, as you all know that streamer will have a lot boys as viewers and they'll try to tackle her, so recently i found out that she and a viewer has been very close in chatting privately via whatsapp, both of them have a very good click and connection, a lot of topic to talk, my gf even complain life shits to him, she has been chatting with the boy for like 2 months, eventually they meet up and she never inform me instead, she lied to me that she is going to have dinner after work with colleagues, and has met up twice, about 2 to 3 hours each time meet up.

btw, im in long distance relationship, we always VC do stuff and gaming, I still can feel that she still love me, every time we meet up sure 88 gao gao, she even bought a lot of couple shirts for us to wear whenever we go out, and planning to move and stay together with me.

And how i find out she go out with the guy is that i have access to her phone, but she do not know i saw the message yet, im now in dilemma, should i question her or not why she lied to me? maybe she just want to make more friend? but... male and female can really be just "pure friend"?? and why she lied to me?

Thanks everyone

men can stay as friend with a not-attractive woman (eg. landwhale, face-problem)

if the woman is attractive, men will be tempted to get into her pants

90% no pure relationship between man and women.
10% purely Friend relationship (bcos that man/ woman is unattractive to each other).

it depends.

i had a few best friends who are girls.

some can, some fall for me.
then i distance myself.

but when gets older and have husband, out of respect, no longer as close as before. dont want to create unnecessary problem.

if it she was purely just friends with him, she would have informed you about his presence. the fact she going behind your back means shes testing the waters with him. having a long distance relationship makes the whole situation even worse. i think you should confront her.

it depends entirely on the individual.

i actually believe its possible. just that the 2 shouldnt be doing too many things alone together once one of them has partnered up.

Red flags, bro. Red flags.

bros gonna wear a green hat soon

on a serious note, how do u guys know each other and become bfgf, and how would u stand out among all the other potential bfs if she jumps ship

We know each other from playing online games, then we chat a lot and found each other have a lot of click & connection, so then we be together.

And she and the other guy, has even more click & connection than me, so then eventually they met up, this is what I guess.

You can already see the pattern here, this new guy she met is same style, she probably giving you the green hat

If you dont mind being a simp or spare tyre if she happens to break up with you, just wait for her

I wish i can do this but my heart is super uncomfortable right now, i dont feel good, when i found out that day, i cant sleep for 2 nights.

Different genders can be good friends, For example, I travelled to Singapore and slept over at a close guy friend's house, and I also informed my bf beforehand so that he's aware. But of course, my friend's then-gf-now-wife was there and they do have a spare bedroom, so that made it possible we also hung out together ok je.

Of course, it takes two responsible adults to keep a clear line drawn. If my friend's wife wasn't around, then I wouldn't have asked to stay there, because even if we keep it clear, our respective partners would not be comfortable with that. Hanging out 1:1 in public places is fine, but two opposite genders in the same house overnight is something that would raise many's eyebrows.

TS, your gf decided to lie is a red flag. If she really had nothing to hide, she shouldn't have lied. You also crossed the line when you checked her phone, so I guess the relationship is over unless you both are willing to fix the broken trust together - this will take a long time plus a lot of conscious decisions by both to continue respecting each other despite past mistakes. Good luck.

Its very tricky thing to manage in a relationship. In this modern era, its impossible to restrict friendship of the opposite sex.

Other than a lot of trust, the ideal thing is to have some agreed ground rules with our partner.

One rule that we practice is transparency. Inform the partner. Who, where, time. And the partner can say no, I dont like u to meet that person.

We also agree that we can suprise checks each other phones. This is something that we actually do.

Its not foolproof vs cheating, but better than nothing.

I will disagree with this
she can have a different phone if she wants to cheat, suprise checking will not help, women are better at hiding this kind of stuff

If you need to check her private stuffs, that means you've an expectation that will result in misery. If a woman respects you, there's no need to "tell" her what to do, she will automatically do or assume good behaviors unless if you meet a trashy girl that is born from worse family background and trying to convert her

any form of control is just a wasting effort
you can only control yourself, not the environment - stoicsm

WORD. Same thing applies to woman as well.

In your case can clearly see that your girl is exercising her rights to have options around her. I suggest you do the same.

to answer the title: yes.

in your situation, better talk to her and ask yourself.

No. Guy and gal can never be just friends - unless guy is gay ….

So, believe in what you have suspected all along. The chances of nothing is happening between your gf and her friend is very very slim.

nope, the guy just want to get into your gf panties..

definitely a red flag
