maintaining friendships and keeping then strong is important. anyone who really loves their significant other would make a point to be supportive of the time spent with friends apart from you. you can't be their whole life and they can't be yours...other people need to be in the picture. that's key to a healthy relationship. as long as you're not choosing friends over the other ALL the time, then it's all kosher :P

Don't minds

Depends on the situation. If we had plans and they were cancelled so you could go with your friends then i would most likely be upset. But if they were plans you made then i woulx be supportive of your night out with your friends. I just like to be in the know:)

I wouldn't mind. :)

It isn't a problem. As long as we didn't have plans, it's fine! :) I want him to be happy all the time, even when we're not together.

I don't mind! We are still two different people!

There needs to be balance. One should not dominate the other. If it's communicated that time is going to be spent with friends, my partner needs to be ok with this and expect time to be spent with her afterwards. Never should there be a hissy fit thrown when she doesn't get her way. =)

Never happened.

Left out

She's moved to a new city (my home) so I really want to go out there and make more friends. She does work hard (that's also where most of her social circle is) - I don't mind if she were to make time for her life - as long as I can sneak in some time for us, maybe a movie, or late night chit-chat.

I don't mind I like to do my own thing some times too. Sometimes I get disappointed because I only see him on the weekends and he's who I prefer to spend my time with but at the same time we need time apart with just friends.

I hope in the future we can both do this;)

I have no idea, I don't think he ever has. I know we both need our friend time and we need our together time, so if he wants to go duck hunting with his friends instead of sleeping in with me, I don't have a problem with it at all. I don't consider that to be choosing friend time over me- in fact, I know if I asked him to stay he would, or if I wanted to go I could. I doubt either one of us would ever choose time with someone else over time together, our couple time is rare and valuable!! But at

I want her to spend time with her friends.

Not really an issue. It only happens on occasion and we both need time to gang out with friends. I think that's normal
