    What are your guys' opinions on activities with other friends when you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?

    For example, for those that have boyfriends or girlfriends, if one of their male friends asked to go to the movies with your girlfriend or if one of their female friends asked to go to the movie with your boyfriend, would you see anything wrong with just the two going just to hang out and do something together?

    Discuss.

    I can see why some people get worried about it, but honestly. I don't see a problem with it. I think part of a relationship is trust. If you can't trust your boyfriend/girlfriend or hell, even your friend to go out with your friend to the movies or something to a movie you don't want to see. How can you trust them later on? How can they trust you? Yes, there's a chance something might happen, but it's a risk because you are showing that you at least trust them to not make that kind of step behind your back with your friend. I know it does happen, but if you don't show you trust your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend, it could be a problem in itself.

    Pretty much what Sara said. If your significant other is someone worth your time, nothing will happen. Otherwise, you'd learn that the person that you're with is wasting your time.

    Still, even if you trust the person you're with and your friend, some issues can still come up. Like if your friend asks your girl/boyfriend to go out to a movie with them without inviting you as well. That'd seem like a bit of a douche-y move if you wanted to go or wanted to see it with just your partner. ...I guess I'm making it more complicated than the question really is by giving out specific examples.

    Yeah. There should be trust in a relationship. <<

    I don't get jealous very easily. I'm not going to say I wouldn't mind, but my first thought would be "Why do I get left out?" I guess there isn't a huge problem with it, so long as it's just hanging out.

    This^ pretty much. I you can't at least maintain some sort of trust within a relationship it's already over. You can't build a foundation out of lies and deceit.
