She never said either of them was single, and saying partner could mean she's a lesbian.

So many people in the comments judging with barely any context, calling the girl evil and the guy weak. Judgy gossips, the lot of them.

I personally found the wording kinda awkward but I mean that’s my problem not theirs. I hope they’re both happy n it’s working for them!

It would never work if you follow ultra traditional relationship norms. Thankfully that toxic shits fading fast.

I want to believe that the dude also jsut wants to be friends, but sadly I am not naive enough.
RumbleNtheJungle
He might. likely he’s acting more like an uncle than a dad. And has no interest in dating a single mom.
ThanksIHateThis
Be honest though. That's very unlikely... Count the number of scenarios where a man is co-parenting a child that isn't his and subtract>
ThanksIHateThis
the number of instances where the man has NO romantic interest in the woman... not including sibling situations, that number is very high...
RumbleNtheJungle
Honestly though I think it’s more likely she just misused the term dad. And he’s just a good friend that’s been there for her and her
RumbleNtheJungle
Daughter and they aren’t actually co parenting.

A lot of the comments here , like this one, basically state men only want one thing. I think men deserve more credit than that.

shoopi12
There is no such thing as a guy who just wants to be friends with a hot girl. Like, if the girl would offer to have sex, the guy would agree
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Those two things are not mutually exclusive
rococosbasilisk
Are you friends with her in hope that she will? Bc personally there are very few people I would t fuck if offered
924Carrera
Yeah I think that is the key. I agree that several of my female friends are attractive to me, but I know that option will never be on the 1/
924Carrera
table and yet I'm their friend regardless. 2/2
rococosbasilisk
The other part is do you treat them like friends or like people you’ll hope will date you? Like if you’re paying for shit for them regularly
Plaird
Fucking is not the same as a relationship
skruttet
That's just not true. Not all men are dicks. And I say that as a former hot girl (I'm old now) and a feminist.
shoopi12
I don't think it has anything to do with being dicks. Just basic attraction and human nature - assuming both sides are single of course.

I believe some of my male friends (and some female) friends would not say no to an offer. If that never happens, we are still friends.

Referring to him as her "best friend"... This is most likely a much more prevalent relational situation known as "stinging someone along".

I don’t see how that’s stringing since she said best friend which is pretty clearly not potential lover.

So men and women can’t be friends. Why do you call it a friend zone then if you’re not even friends.
clutchthepearls
So for men and women to be considered friends, you have to raise their kids! Hey, I can do the same thing you just did!
Poiszyn
A women doesn’t want to fuck , you’re friend zoned ? But you’re saying general populace of men can’t be friends. Y call it a Friend zone
clutchthepearls
You're only in the friend zone if she doesn't want you, but you want her. It's possible for men to not want every woman.

MoschopsUK
There is some weird obsession in these comments with... I don't even know what? Women are only for fucking, not for being friends with?
QuickGoogleSearch
Apparently sex (past, present, or future) has to factor into why a man ever has a positive relationship with a child.
joejerryronnie
No, the problem is that this will end badly. If the guy does get serious with another women, she’s not going to be cool with this setup.
joejerryronnie
So he either lives a miserable, lonely life or crushes the dreams of a child.
Poiszyn
Did she tell you that ?
StellarJay77
Not nearly enough information to make that judgement. You're projecting a lot of assumptions there.
EarlGreyOrDeath
I'd say helping someone raise a kid is quite a few steps beyond "being friends."
RumbleNtheJungle
True. But do you think this guy is actually helping raise this girl or just there for both of them.
StellarJay77
No not really, people forget we used to communally raise our kids until the idea that the nucular family unit was the norm.
EarlGreyOrDeath
Those communities were close knit family groups that knew each other for generations, not random best friends from middle school.
Xodus2kX
Then how does one become "close knit" now? Societal structures have changed, so why not choose someone who was your middle school bestie?

Contrary to virtually everyone in this comments section, I think this is completely fine. You can be coparents without being together.

WhatTheDormouseSaid
Yes. As long as everyone feels good about it, then why not?

Its not just the coparenting thing. Lot of imgurians just dont think a man and woman can be friends without some sexual motive from the guy.
mity0k23
Yeah, folks are vocal enough to suggest they don’t know what they’re talking about. Do you have experience here?
namelessone
Not personally, but I've seen many divorced parents being lovely coparents without being together. I don't think this is very far.
QuickGoogleSearch
My friend's "dad" was from Big Brother Big Sister. Also, godparents often take on parenting roles in these situations.
mity0k23
It takes a village... the more involved loving adults in a child’s life, the better the outcome for the child.
ontarioOT
He's not a parent though. So it's not even coparenting.

He is a parent. Not biological, sure, but he is raising her.

Non biological parents can get awarded custody if it’s in the best interest of the child. Her post is evidence in support of that claim.
