A lady has sparked reactions on social media after revealing what the phrase “he’s just a friend” truly means whenever women say it to their partners.
Many people will agree that there are several terms used by both men and women when it comes to third parties in their relationships.
Some may say, “he or she is my bestie,” or “he or she is just a friend, nothing more.” But the real truth might be hidden.
In a viral video, the lady explained what she claimed to be the true meaning of “he’s just a friend” from a woman’s point of view.
Speaking in the video, she said: “if your girlfriend had ever told you ‘he’s just a friend’, now this is the female definition of ‘he’s just a friend’.
“1. I’m sorry that I’m attracted to him just the way I’m attracted to you. I do not want to present him to you so as for you not to put me in a situation where I have to chose between him and you.
“2. I’m sorry that I have to keep him as a backup plan. So if you break my heart tomorrow, I’ll have someone to fall back to.
“3. I’m sorry that he keeps me company when you get me angry. And I want to present this friendship in a platonic way so as you not to get angry with me.
“4. I’m sorry that if situation present itself in another way, I will gladly fall to him.
“5. And I’m sorry that I have someone that I also like in as much as I like you, so I would rather present him as ‘just a friend’ so as not to make you break up with me.”
