My husbands best friend is of the opposite sex and yes i approve.. why? Because neither have every given me any reason to doubt that theres anything but friendship there, we hang out together, he will never put himself in a situation that could be misconstrude as anything going on, so he wont be alone with her, not because anything could happen but to protect my feelings of every thinking something may of happened.. he told her from the start that there are no secrets between me and him and if she doesnt want me to know something then not to tell him.. and she respects my place as his wife, and realizes his loyalties are to me first..
And now her and i are also close..
They had zero intimate involvement in the past.. they've always just been friends, and they were friends before i came into the picture..
I totally approve.. and trust both of them together 100%..

My best friend is a female. I have known her for 14 years, about 3 longer then my wife. This girl had a boyfriend when I met her (she later ended up marrying him) and although I admit I was at first attracted to her, this quickly fizzled.
At first my (now) wife was not happy with it, but once she understood this woman was no threat whatsoever she was OK and they get along quite well. Exactly the same with her husband.
I think it helped that she was pre-existing. If I were to develop a new female "best friend" now she wouldn't like it.
In general, I make friends with women more easily than men anyways. I never understood why; I think it's because I am non-threatening (they don't think I'm "up to something").
EDIT: OK, my "best friend" really is my wife, yes. When you ask the question I assumed it excluded spouses/family.
Although I admit my friend and I can talk more openly about SOME things to eachother than we can to our spouses. Why? We don't have anything on the line. No feelings to hurt.

My husband doesn't truly have woman associates, yet he has some woman colleagues and infrequently they take mealbreaks mutually, even though it is continually in a collection. He works in a predominantly male ecosystem, so there are continually different adult adult males round, even though it doesn't truly hardship me if there wasn't. I have self belief him thoroughly. the only element that would make me experience threatened or disrespected will be if he become accomplishing a friendship in secrecy, or if he had a lady pal who become brazenly adversarial in the route of me, yet that hasn't ever got here about. I have some male associates, and my husband is very indulgent about that - they could telephone and e-mail me, often times we bypass out for espresso, lunch, or carry out through the sea mutually; my husband under no circumstances minds. My associates are very respectful in the route of my husband although - if truth be told some imagine he's a touch intimidating, so as that they'd under no circumstances threat something. the purely time (because we've been married) that he felt disrespected become at the same time as a guy pal gave me undies as a present once - there become no harm meant and that i actually keep in mind that, even though it wasn't a sensible determination - and my husband made that crystal sparkling.

Yes and she does approve because it is HER! We are both each other's best friend. That's how we feel a successful marriage should be. But outside of our friend ship, yes we can have good friends of the opposite sex (even if we have been intimate with them LOL).

Yes my best friend is of the opposite sex, and she darn well better approve, because I'm married to her.

If your best friend is of the opposite sex I'm hoping it's your spouse* otherwise why do you need a male as a best friend when you have your husband???

Of course my best friend is of the opposite sex. My wife IS my best friend!

Nope, but to be honest if my best friend was a guy, my husband would have no problems with that as we trust each other, hence why we're married!

My partners best friend, besides me, is a woman. I don't mind. I don't have anything to worry about. Their friendship is entirely open to me if I felt the need to snoop, but I don't, well not since we first started dating. Friendship inside of a marriage and friendship outside of a marriage are two very different things that should be taken care of for what they are. If anything, I'm happy for him!
