This post made me wonder: Has anyone ever had a peaceful boyfriend/girlfriend-be st friend relationship?
I definitely haven't.
My best friends have always rejected my boyfriends and vice versa, though my best friends are all girls. And I can't really get along with my best friends boyfriend either, though I really try to see the good sides. Its like keeping a cat and a dog in the same house... trying to balance time and affection.

My boyfriend has a best friend who is a girl. At first I was a little apprehensive but then I got to know her and realize that there would never be anything but friendship between them.

We have a peaceful relationship because we communicate to one another...

And as far as friends go, be careful what you tell them. Don't go to your friends if you are having relationship troubles becaue they will judge your boyfriend base soley on your perception at the time. I go to my mother or family members who support me no matter what and give me the best advice because they know me the best.

Mine have always been very peaceful. My best friend & my boyfriend & I used to all eat dinner together a couple nights a week back in college. We hang out as couples too sometimes, me & my bf & my best friend & her fiance. I also get along great with my bf's friends, especially one of his best friends. He actually hung out with me and called me for advice all the time when he broke up with his gf & my bf was on vacation and couldn't give the normal guy advice.

I don't think that having non harmonious relationships with best friends is necessarily a bad thing or a signal that it's doomed. Men and women are very different and what may be good for you may not be good for a best friend, even if you're best friends and share a lot in common. Unless its something major like one party refuses to ever speak to or hear about the other, then that's a whole other issue like immaturity or some deeply held insecurity.
