Im very sure i will prob get lots of different opinions on this.
to begin with we been togheter for 3 years my partner knows her trough me and he only have meet her trough some parties we have been hosting. So they don’t have each other on socials either. Last party my friend was hinting that she will move out from her parents house soon and looking for someone to help her move out, felt like she was kinda hinting that to my partner since she was looking at him. But its not like people in her family don’t drive at all. I felt a bit weird why she wants my partner to help in this. Another friend told me that some girls are like that when u get a man, they also expect your man to help them and do things for them because ur their best friend.

All this because you 'felt she was kinda hinting'??

It's not like she's asked him so just forget it.

Sorry I find it odd to refer to him as your man. He isn't your property.
But to answer the question if she's a close friend I would absolutely he volunteering myself to help and naturally your partner would probably be there/offer to help too.

So she hasn’t even asked yet? But no, even if she did it wouldn’t be weird to ask a friend and/or her partner to help with moving house. And it’s not a ‘some girls …expect your man’ to help situation. It’s a ‘friends usually offer to help’ situation. My friend’s partners help out with stuff if I need something they can do easily and I can’t. It’s just helpful. And normal.
