It is true that male and female friends ships in adulthood are extremely hard. If you are young, opposite gender friendships are common and usually everyone is involved with everyone.

Eventually though you grow up, get married and have kids. Now, if you introduce your guy friend or girl friend to your spouse immediately from the begging and agree on boundaries it can work out fine, no drama. Especially if they are also in similar situations.

I don't really have friends that are girls nowadays but it is a fact that my wife wouldn't feel comfortable with me starting friendships with girls and hanging out with them on my own and I respect that greatly. Because I also wouldn't feel comfortable with her hanging out with guys on her own. We have been together 20 years.

We usually hang out together with any friends we have (though that includes our young kids) Obviously if I am invited to a dinner or a night out organised by my co-workers I will go by myself but that is in a setting of multiple coworkers not just me with a girl.

So I don't necessarily believe opposite sex friendships are impossible but when you are an adult, you need to ensure that certain criteria and boundaries are fulfilled and depending on the situation this can be really hard. Otherwise things can fall apart quickly.
How come you guys have been together 20 years yet do not trust each other enough to have a friend without "feeling uncomfortable"?

That is... progress... I guess? I wouldn't mind if they kept being just friends.
I'd like to see more male female friendship in mangas
then this would just be purely slice of life and would get boring pre quick since theres nothing ur looking forward to (imo that is ofc).

This has nothing to do with trust. Meeting a girl and becoming friends with her and then going out for drinks and stuff, as a working adult, 9 to 5 with wife and kids is simply not proper behaviour. And if I had established friends that are girls, I would make sure to take my wife when going out as a company. I wouldn't just go out solo with one of them.

In the first instance, why would you seek a new friendship with the opposite sex at this stage of your life? If you have time for yourself, how about your wife? Would you just let her stay at home with the kids? Why can't she join in?

I guess if you are not in the same situation or at the same age you would struggle understand such concepts. So you are anything between between 16 to 25 or so right?

Jesus fucking christ I knew women exactly like this, god this was traumatic. But hey at the very least Noa still seems more manageable.....
Do not date her, Rihito. Keep her in the friendzone forever if you can. She needs professional help. Actual menhera
Reason Noa is manageable and even likeable is because we as the audience can know for a fact that she has no malice, much less ill will, even towards the cause of her jealousy.

We also know that she genuinely cares and want to improve as a person all for Rihito's sake. Even when he tells her it's ok to not change, she still wants to improve and be better for him.

I don't think "professional help" will be any good for her. She can improve at her own pace with Rihito's support. She's got the most important thing you need for self improvement; motivation

Or y'know, think with your brain, not your dick or womb. :haa:
That said, I love how Negi is the voice of reason in all this. She's the best.
