She sleeps with one of her best (guy) friends... but with no intimacy!? Is this strange and should I worry?

A male United States age 36-40, *uixotic writes:

Hey, I've been dating this girl for about three months now, and despite the fact that we have a great relationship, there is something that is bothering me. First of all, I guess I should clarify that we are both college students at the same college, so we see a lot of each other. She has a tendency to sleep with one of her best friends, who happens to be a male. As far as I know, there is nothing sexual about these encounters, and it merely just friendly "intimacy". She has also been known to sleep in the same bed as her roommate, who is female. This is my question: is this something that I should be worried about? I often feel very jealous when she tells me that she had a "sleepover", and I am only relieved slightly by her honesty with me. I haven't said anything to her because she recently got out of a bad relationship where her boyfriend was very controlling, and by nature I'm not a controlling person. This familiarity between the two of them, however, greatly unnerves me and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Do I have a reason to be worried? Is this very strange behavior? What should I do?

Well I spoke to her about it. I misunderstood her; the way she portrayed it was that this was still going on, whereas it had not happened since we were dating. Even so, I asked her that if it happens not to tell me, as I'm likely to get jealous, which I don't want to do because I trust her. We are very intimate; I'm a very affectionate person, and we often sleep together without sexual intimacy. But as for "sleeping over" while her friend was in the room, well, I do not like nor trust him, so thats a no-go on my part. Thanks for your advice, if I run into any more problems, I'll ask again :)
