I'm not asking if you trust your partner, but the opposite...Do you not trust your friends or co-workers to be left alone with your partner. Meaning they might hit on or get to friendly with your partner.
Do you have friends or co-workers who you don't trust to leave alone with your partner?

Anyone I didn't trust like that, wouldn't be someone I consider a friend, that's for sure. But no, I don't know anyone like that.

I trust my wife - so my friends are not the issue.

Okay, I see what you're asking here. Despite our trust in our partner, we can still have icky feelings about what others may do and to answer truthfully, yes. There's one person in particular who's a very close family member and has on multiple occasions throughout the years, tried getting very chummy with my partner. I'm not talking a little hug either! I'm talking serious crap! Thankfully, my partner was uncomfortable enough to say something & then ignore her big time so she'd get the impression that her ploys were not working. She wanted to hurt me, not have him. That's what sucks the most!

So no, I don't trust this one person around him even though I know he'd bolt out of any room she appears in. But say he was unconscious and she thought I'd be showing up any second, I cannot imagine! But if he's conscious, it ain't gonna happen so that always helps me not to worry when she is around.
It really makes me sad to hear of anybody crossing that line with someone's partner because I've seen the devastation it causes & dear God, I never want to be a part of the pain that mess causes. It's worth it to work hard to keep a distance in cases where people could be hurt like this.

Forever and a day, I have always said that it's not my husband I don't trust, it's the women we're around.
From the outside looking in, we've got a fairy tale relationship going on here. I work from home, I never have to leave the house, he takes out the trash, makes the majority of our income and does so without complaining. I blink, bat my eyelashes or express any kind of want and it's mine before I can say "scissors". I'm spoiled beyond belief and so is he. I honestly could not blame someone for wanting to try to take that away but you best believe I'd kick her ass so hard she'd regret the second she even thought she had a chance.
Hubby and I laugh and joke all the time about if a woman approached him to be with her. He always says he'd just look at her, laugh and tell her to take her best shot. There's nothing she could do that would convince him he's better off without me.

I don't allow people like that into my life to begin with so it's not an issue.
02/26/2013
No, I don't. I trust my husband implicitly. As for other people, I wouldn't keep people in my life that I couldn't trust. Life is too short to keep untrustworthy people around.

I actually have a married female friend I don't trust around girlfriends. She's a cute pixie of a woman, but will go after most anyone's gf if she gets too drunk.
With my ex she went as far as kissing her right in front on me while we were both pretty drunk.
Funny thing: The pixie friend has no interest in the guys, just the ladies. Things that make you go "hmm?"

Heh. I must admit this is me. I totally do that and I haven't the foggiest clue why, when I'm sober I have almost zero interest in women. I guess the drunk me thinks it's harmless?

As long as you trust your partner I dont see why other people would be an issue at all.
Unless you believed the other person was derranged enough to violate peoples consent and impinge upon their personal space, in which even /I/ would refuse to be in their presence.

I don't like my boyfriend's family. I trust his friends.

I don't know if this is everyone, but I used to worry about one of my friends hitting on my gentleman friends because I was insecure. I thought that maybe she was better or funnier or prettier or had more in common with my guy than me, so I would internally freak out that she would somehow seem more interesting and seduce him. Granted, she kind of knew this, and would turn up her charm more around guys anyway, so... it didn't help.

Luckily, for reasons unrelated to my current relationship, she's out of my life, and I feel a lot better about things. The main thing, though, is that I'm not so insecure anymore and I don't feel inferior to my friends. I've discovered that I'm kind of awesome, actually, and have no reason to doubt.
