We all know that when it comes to relationships, we learn everyday as there are no written manual or instructions anywhere on how relationships should be handled.

Well, I was with a couple of my friends earlier today and we were talking about relationships (because we had nothing better to do) and one of my friends who happens to be the only one who is currently in a relationship amongst us, asked a question that apparently has been causing issues between him and his girlfriend.

According to him, before he got in a relationship with his girlfriend, he was someone who had a lot of female friends which we all knew about because he's the kind of guy who is always the life of the party. So he has a lot of friends, most especially girls. And back then when he was single, that wasn't a problem to him but ever since he got into a relationship, his girlfriend has been getting upset with him whenever she sees him talking to any of the girls, be it on the phone or face to face.

He wanted to know if he was doing anything wrong by keeping all of his female friends and not getting rid of them like his girlfriend had insisted, before she feels they are a threat to their relationship.

When he asked this question, I immediately told him that the female friends weren't the problem, but his girlfriend not trusting him is. Although he didn't say if he had been caught doing anything immoral by his girlfriend with any of the girls in the past, so I'm just going to assume he hasn't and she's just being insecure and feels that other girls becoming friends with her boyfriend is a threat.

Surprisingly, another of our friend had a different opinion and took sides with my friend's girlfriend. He had asked my friend how he would feel if the reverse had been the case and his girlfriend was the one with multiple male friends who were always calling her and stuff. He (the one who had a girlfriend) had said he wouldn't be upset but the other guys had disagreed with him, saying he was lying and that is why I'm bringing this here today.

Do you guys think his girlfriend is being reasonable asking him to cut off communication with these other girls or she's just taking it too far and being insecure?
