I am presently involved in a relationship, where my female mate wants to have male friends that she can talk to when she wants. I have read many online advice things about this question. I think it only leads to problems, further down the line. I don't want to lose her but she has basically given me an ultimatum, accept it or move down the road. I just need to hear some sound, sage advice please. Thank you very much for your time and your considerate advice. sincerely, larry
