We've been dating 8 months, but we're pretty serious. She rents a room with a couple who I'm friends with in their condo. Yesterday she told me her guy friend 'Brandon' who is "like a brother to her" was going to come visit her (she moved here from another state). She then told me that she was going to let him stay at her place and sleep on the couch while he's in town. Naturally, I was furious, and a huge argument followed. She feels that there should be no issue because she doesn't live alone. She assures me she's known him 4 years and he's such a good friend and would never hit on her etc etc. I say, fwark that because he's still a guy and it's inappropriate and disrespectful to me to have him sleep over, even if he is in the other room on the couch and even if he is just a friend. I'm not worried about her cheating, I trust her, but the situation makes me incredibly uncomfortable and for that reason alone she shouldn't do it. And by the way, he is single, and I have never met him.
So it's gotten to a boiling point, I'm furious, she's furious. Misc, what do? Am I wrong? Or should I stand my ground on this?
Cliffs:
-gf of 8 months has guy friend of 4yrs coming to visit
-she offers him to stay with her and her roomates on their couch while he's in town
-I say no, she's says I'm being crazy, what do?

Don't care if I get negged, but I would definitely be understanding. One of my good friends is a chick I've known for like 9 years, if she needed a place to crash she could stay at my place no questions asked. If my gf wouldn't understand that then too bad. I would introduce the two of them first of course, so it doesn't seem sketchy. Just ask to meet the guy.

Express the reasoning it makes you feel uncomfortable as if you had a girl "friend" come over and stay with you. Then drop it, if she sloots she sloots bro, it really isn't something to worry about in the long run.

Wait...
You want your girl to stop being a friend to a guy she's known longer than you, and he's never hit on her?
Dude...there are boundaries you wouldn't want her to cross when it comes to friendship, but you're willing to cross them yourself?
Grow a pair, and stop being insecure. I could see if it was Kyle from psych class she met in august, but this has been her friend for years.

you either trust her or you don't
she has infinite opportunities to take dick from thousands of guys if she wants to
if she wanted to fuark this guy, she would and you would never find out
the question isn't whether a dude is in her living space, it's whether you trust her or notMake Europe Germany Again

Use logic to win your argument, Get loud if you have, get passionate not angry. Meaning never say how you feel but state the facts of the situation if they kunt dont listen to you, kick her in the phucking head mentally. Tell her to stfu and listen if she is being a goofy Bitch

Friend for 4 years -> never once hit on her. Have we confirmed he's straight? If he's gay there really shouldn't be a problem. How long is he staying?
Although I'm not entirely sure we're on the same page in terms of said visit, you certainly have a right to your opinion and she should address it.
It's a tough situation, and you should certainly stand your ground, but make sure it's for the right reason.
As stated you have a right to your opinion, and if she disregards it you have reason to be upset, but make sure you're not blindly looking at the situation. Arguements like this can lead to 'It has to be done my way' kind of perspective, which should be avoided.
If you genuinely trust her (although you state this your level of frustration tells otherwise) and want this to last, you need to come to some sort of compromise.
Don't fall prey to the misc trap of going NC unless you get your way, that'll guarantee she's blowing Brandon for the visit.

youre not wrong OP, I would feel the same way. Personally I hate that girls think they have guys that are "just friends" we all know guys and girls cant be friends without there being something there

I think she is wrong to continue to insist once you have made it clear you are uncomfortable with it. They can still catch up if he goes back to his own hotel room to crash every night.
Don't care if I get negged, but I would definitely be understanding. One of my good friends is a chick I've known for like 9 years, if she needed a place to crash she could stay at my place no questions asked. If my gf wouldn't understand that then too bad.

If she wanted to cheat she'd do so anyways,as long as you have a transparent relationship I don't see a problem with letting her guy friend sleep at her house.You're treating her as if she would merely be a victim of her circumstances rather than someone who makes a calculated decision to cheat,essentially you're rationalizing why it wouldn't be her fault(but rather the circumstance) if she cheats.
Wrap your head around that one.I'm here to make friends and listen to other peoples problems,send me a PM if you want to talk.I misc at odd hours.

Op, I wouldn't be ok with this. Girls can get pretty chummy with their guy friends. Stand your ground if you don't like it. If she doesn't give a fuk about what you think than on to the next one bro. I have a feeling that this kind of shady chit will happen again if you stay with this girl. Good luck!

yeah i'm in the same boat, I have friends, male and female crash at my place and my gf is totally cool. she usually stays over.
vice versa too, she has friends crash on her couch who are out of towners simply because my gfs apartment is huge.
Also, don't listen to what ppl say about guys and girls not being able to be just friends. It's very much possible. People on the misc just tend to hang out with meat heads and club sloots.*rescued two dogs crew

This guy is right.
She was wrong to let him stay at her place, the question is does she know any better.
The only way for her to make it right is for her to tell him he can't stay there, or if you want to be nice she has to stay at your place while he is at hers.
Otherwise assume your GF is getting the D.
