Michelle. I appreciate your response but I really don't have the time to discuss this much further with you today, butt... did you notice the common thread of all of the female friendships of your BF's that you mentioned........ its you. That's why you were ok with them. you were able to police them and mark your territory. Simple. The problem I see it is if a guy has a friendship with a female that you are not included then you automatically go down the EA road and that's just not necessary. Not everything is an EA just because you have not marked your territory with your presence.
Gotta go, have a great day.
