I'm female. I have male friends, and I would never give them up for a relationship. The way that I see it... if my partner doesn't trust me enough to maintain my male friendships without thinking sex is going to happen... well, he wouldn't be my partner very long.
I'm also someone who would introduce all my friends to my partners, so yeah.
Basically, I won't end a friendship because someone else wants me to. Anyone who truly cared for me as a friend or in a relationship, well, they should know and trust me enough to know that I am friends and am respectful of boundaries and all of that. Anyone who would make me choose is going to make me choose not-them.
