That's almost less threatening to me even. If they're choosing to stay in a relationship with me, then that's telling, and that could even be a fun addition to the relationship dynamic.

My view is that if I was ever in that situation, the fact that the person chooses to be with me and not their best friend would answer that question, plus I wouldn’t be in a relationship with anyone I couldn’t implicitly trust.

I'm in a relationship like this. And while I have my issues around it sometimes, I also trust my partner. We talk about it and communicate openly, and the logical part of my brain knows he wouldn't do anything. My insecurities stem from past trauma in this regard, and a massive distrust of women in general. But that's not my partner's problem, and if I'm dictating who my partner can and cannot be friends with, I become the problem. I'm not ok with that, so I won't be doing that. It's more nuanced than this, but for now I'll leave it here. I'll end it with this. If you can't or don't trust your partner, and if both of you can't or won't communicate very openly about everything, I understand how people start saying that this isn't ok for them. But a relationship like that will probably never survive the long term, and if it does, there will always be resentment.

I  would be OK with it if my man had a female best friend. But only if they had never had a relationship before. The understanding is that they had not been sexual. If they tell me no, that's all I know. If this is a lie then that's unfortunate. Also, I would not feel comfortable with him seeing her on a regular basis. I would not feel comfortable with a regular meet up like first Friday lunch or whatever. I would not feel comfortable with him just going over her house even if she had kids. I would be OK with a birthday lunch. I would be OK if he was the godfather to one of her children. Overall, I would be OK with it as long as they have not had a previous relationship and don't see each other often. They could talk on the phone a little bit more Than just several times a year.

I’ve been there and if you’re secure with yourself and your relationship then yes. I’d also say though that anybody’s capable of anything. A title doesn’t stop anybody from doing anything they didn’t wanna do in the first place.
