Ha, that’s actually great to hear! I genuinely enjoy hearing stories like that, making our tiny theory a bit more believable.
Regarding the jealousy of others’ partners — it is always a problem! According to my girl friends, we (guys in our group) come up pretty often in talks with their partners or new boyfriends. We try to overcome those problems by either introducing our significant others to the friend group as soon as possible, or exclusively date people who also have platonic friends of opposite sexes.
Obviously sometimes things go wrong, then we have to explain these people in very toddler-esque way (“Do you have any siblings of opposite sex? You wouldn’t consider that relationship romantic, would you? Yeah it’s that between us.”). Some people don’t buy it, but we’re kinda used to it at this point. But oh well, such is life.
- ddmf 3y agoThat sounds really good - I'm almost 50 and amongst my guy pals we still have "lads nights out" and it's very rare for us to go out with partners, unless it's a dinner date thing happening - when I first mentioned I was seeing my pal, I would get some "oh, aye?" looks, but they know it's platonic now. Sounds like it's working for you, hopefully we see more of this as things progress.
