He doesn't really pick his friends over me n I don't pick mine over him.
His IPad is his friend... So sometimes I get upset because he doesn't "listen" to me.
We live together lol I think I get plenty of his time I can share him every once in awhile
I get mad because he doesn't realize that he's blowing me off everyday for his online friends.
This is THE BIGGEST obstacle in our relationship. In the past i would be jealous and not understand just how important time with friends is. After therapy and maturing i dont feel that way at all. Unfortunately, she is conditioned to be wary of being straight forward with her plans because of the way i used to react. This leads to a whole set of different issues because i the omission of not telling me about plans leads to a ethos of sneaking around and leads to jealousy. Any advice?
Actually i wish my boyfriend spent more time with friends!
I think it's terrific, proving that holding onto friendship is important ! Show that he is a good friend and that makes him an even better man at home
It depends on what I was hoping for us to be doing. But having friend time or even alone time is important for your own personal sanity...
We really don't have a problem with it, but if his going to cancel are plans that we already had plans for then I would have a problem with it
It's hurtful bc that is when he participates in all risky behavior for our relationship... Drinking, affairs, gambling, etc. it's hard to get over stuff like that
I don't mind now and then... It definitely gets old when it is days in a row, or I get blown off for them. It all depends on whether we previously had planned and how recently I've seen him.
He doesn't do this, however, if he needs time I give it to him.
I am very fortunate that my wife has never done this for me. i have to practically push her out of the house to go out with friends. She always puts me and our children first.
Time apart is a good thing, he needs guy time as much as I need girl time.
He doesn't!
