This morning on the radio station, they were surveying people on this question: Do you think it's fine if your significant other hung out with the opposite sex?
A mixture of men/women, said absolutely not! It is not fine for their significant other to hang out with the opposite sex ALONE. If among a bunch of friends it would make sense, but never alone.
What are your thoughts?
Do you trust your significant other with just a "friend" of the opposite alone? Is that allowed, or not?

Like others said, I think it would depend upon the location and person for me.

it depends. I'm not among those people who think that friendship between a man and a woman isn't possible. as long as he tells me who he's with and where he's going than this shows he's an open person I would be fine with it

Yes, definitely - communication is key in my opinion!

that sounds like a lot of mistrust and projecting. why cant men and women just be friends. dont you have friends that are like brothers or sisters to you, you wouldnt do anything with them. men may not be able to as much but women could handle a platonic male friend.

It depends on the situation! But sometimes one person will always try to be more than "just" friends in my opinion. Not for me, but for others.

I usually never stop my girlfriend if she is asking to hang out with some of her office colleagues and frankly speaking your partner will feel awkward in doing so him/herself!!
But yeah I may ask her to think nicely before deciding!!

Hanging out with a bunch of office colleagues is understandable. But just not one in general, without telling you wouldn't be appropriate in my opinion.

@infatuatedbby Yeah,if she isn't telling me then it will not be right, as she always wants me to be open about everything as well!!

It will tell about trust- bonding you got. I may not put restrictions on her but yes since she got married to me, she has chosen me to be her significant other, Now time to suffer 
She had a choice not to chose me before marriage
Jokes apart it will surely depend upon the situation I am in and I can act differently according to situation I am in!

Haha, now time to suffer. 
Yes, I agree depends on the situation and the person also. In the end it all comes out to "trust"

For one thing, l don't really forbid my husband from doing things. However, how I would feel about him being alone with a woman would depend a lot on the woman, and also on the location. Having lunch in a restaurant would be a lot different than having lunch alone together at her home.

Yes! Lunch at a restaurant or somewhere with people is fine, but somewhere else or in a different town (hours away) or at her home wouldn't be allowed!

No, it's not something I would do, nor something I would be comfortable with my wife doing. It's asking for trouble.
