Is it normal to hang out with my best friend's boyfriend?

I recently realized that I spend a lot of time with the boyfriend of my best friend, with or without her. The three of us have always been a pretty tight group but I'm starting to get the vibe that she, and other friends, think it's less than appropriate for us to be alone together. Nothing happens, of course, but I can see where that point of view might be coming from. On the other hand, this guy has been been one of my best friends for a couple years now, about twice as long as the two have been together. Is it alright to still treat him as a best friend and act accordingly? or was an invisible line drawn as soon as the two changed their relationship status?

    I wouldn't do this out of respect for your best friend. If it makes her uncomfortable then stop. The stuff she is feeling is normal. As her friend u need to support her. Even if it's nothing more than friendship it is crossing the line to see him without other ppl there

    Once they started dating you should have seen that invisible line be drawn. Doesn't matter if you were good friends before hand, the fact he is in a relationship means he shouldn't be hanging out with other women without his girlfriend being there too.

      If they have a problem then they should come out and say it! the only person who can tell you to back off is the Girlfriend! Till that day keep the friendship alive, when she says she's uncomfortable then explain how you feel about your relationship with him and maybe not see him as much for a few days/weeks x hope it helps x

    hmm i dunno i think you should talk to your friend and explain you're not interested in him like that but u have known him for a long time and dont want to stop being friends with him. Do u act in a way that could make other ppl uncomfortable?? like sometimes when a guy and a girl are messing around it can look kindof flirtatious, id make sure you're very hands off with him to try and put your friend at ease. I dont think she should stop you seeing him though.

    Just make sure that your friend is cool with it. You don't want to lose them both.

    I don't think that it's fair when a girlfriend keeps her man away from his friends, whether they be a boy or girl. However, there are exceptions of course. Being alone with someones man all the time Is a no no. There should be other friends around out of respect for the significant other..
