Just Friends?

So you modified your behavior to accommodate your guy friends relationship but what if he didnt. Well at least from the perspective of the girlfriend he didn't. Would you be like breh fall back?
So there has to be an ultimatum? Does the boyfriend and best friend have to be friends also?

It's definitely possible for men and women to be platonic friends, but it's definitely not advisable when ur in a relationship. A platonic friend of the opposite sex is basically a reminder /representation of the options u have outside of ur relationship. An easily accessible option at that. I think there's less incentive to push through hard times with the person u when u have this other person in the cut (the friend ) Who u r familiar with.
I also think male female relationships form out of attraction. Even if it doesn't progress past friendship, I don't really think dudes just seek out women who r sexually repulsive to them even just to hang out

I would but I never had to. Even when I could tell which girlfriends had some problems with our friendship.
(One thing I can credit & give props to both of my guy friends is they never got missing on me. Contact stayed consistent if not almost the same. Great dudes.)
Would u fault the boyfriend/girlfriend for trying to break the bond between their significant other and the best friend?

If you like a chick and she don't reciprocate the same notion either be cool or just stop talking to them completely its simple. Its not on them whether you are what they envision

Men and women can't be friends, ladies I bet if you sent your "friend " a message saying you trying to fukk they would 10 put on 10 say hell yeah women put nikkas in the friend zone they don't want to fukk but derive a benefit from associating with them
I'm talking really close. Like ain't no mountain high enough ain't no valley low enough close.

I think it'd be better to tell ur significant other how u feel about their friend and let them release the friendship. Coercing ppl to do right by you is always a terrible idea. U shouldn't have to force someone to treat you right , it should be something they want to do out of love.
Also, I feel like these things apply mainly if you guys know u r serious with each other and planning to build together. I wouldn't get rid of a lifelong friend off the strength of a casual fling

What you see, is what you get
I don't believe ultimatums are needed. Why should a woman/guy give up their friends who was there before the s/o became a factor? I can understand a person being concerned of an s/o having new friends of the opposite sex during the relationship.
Just my opinion... I don't believe the best friend and boyfriend have to be friends but what you described sounds like the two only tolerate each other. To me is just stupid as hell to be involved with somebody and can't deal with their friends.
I'm sure there are exceptions but to me it goes against human nature for a man and woman to be extremely close and it not drift towards something romantic.
The problem with these opinions is that people view "friends" in very different ways so the variables of why it would and wouldn't work are very subjective.
