A couple should have friends independently of each other - and they shouldn't be forced to choose the gender of their friends based on what their partner wants.

Anyone who thinks that they can restrict their partner to specific friends or no friends at all without a good reason for doing so needs to seek professional help for their insecurities.

A successful relationship needs to have trust in its foundations and if you can't trust your man or woman, then you shouldn't be in a relationship to start with.
