Can Men and Women Really Be “Just Friends”?

Can men and women really be just friends? It's a question that sounds simple until friendship becomes extremely close. On this episode of Real Gist by OtownGist, host Ezuruike Christabel Nmerichukwu joins co-hosts Anoruo Pleasant Chiamaka and Ibe Leonard Chima to discuss whether men and women can maintain genuine platonic friendships—and what happens when attraction, jealousy or relationship boundaries enter the picture. Can you have an opposite-sex best friend without your partner feeling threatened? Is jealousy always insecurity? What if your friend develops feelings for you? And when does emotional closeness become emotional cheating? The conversation looks at the different sides of opposite-sex friendships and the boundaries couples may need to establish when friendships become very close. Can men and women really be JUST FRIENDS? Listen to the full episode and decide for yourself.
