That never happen
Don't like it what so ever u should always be more important than friends and thats the way it is
sad. but I know he needs time with his friends and I actually love it that he maintains his friendships so well!!!!!
I don't think he's done that before, thankfully
I'm allll for it. His friends deserve some of his time too. I would want it if I were them... Can't blame them... Or him. :)
I understand he needs guy time... However it seems like I have to encourage him to hangout with his guy buddies... I loooove hanging out with my babe and if I had the option I would want to be with him 24/7 but a healthy relationship has to have balance
As long as I know he comes back home to me I am fine with it . All about trust .....
Well I wouldnt really mind him hanging out with his friends.
It is a little bit upsetting because we barely get time together anyway.
I understand her need to be with her friends and very supportive of them. It's just I have no work schedule and always on call and sometimes get left out of loop when she has plans. There has been times when I'm so excited to be getting home and find she has already made plans with her friends. I get so frustrated with my job at those times. Also at the same time, I feel little guilty spending time with my friends when I know she is at home.
I understand everyone needs their time with their friends but when its a choice to be with me or with them it kinda hurts especially when we are trying to get our relationship back on track
I totally agree and understand how you feel.

As long as she's true to me, I don't feel bad about it at all.
She really doesn't do that, but I understand "last minute" things come up where she would probably want to go and she would be with me.
I don't have a problem with that
I don't have a problem with that
Then again even when I encourage it, it's a bad thing, as if there's always a plot. maybe I just need him to have time to himself WITHOUT being disrespectful to me.

It pisses me off, and makes me resent his friends, but I try to understand he needs "guy" time to unwind
He doesn't see his friends too often so I don't feel bad. However, he never chooses them over me. He'll coordinate time with him after he has spent a sufficient amount of time with me.
