It feels nice, friends are important and sometimes they help us be happy with each other too.


Luckily, This is isn't an issue with us. I'm also a believer in importance of having friends, external interest/hobbies, etc. When not done excessively (outside activities\friends taking up ones free time), I believe they can actually keep relationships fresh.


I encourage her to do it. She used to do it more when we were dating, but not as much anymore. Either way, I don't mind it. I think it's healthy that we maintain our own relationships.



I understand but it makes me kinda pissed


I think it's healthy for him to maintain his friendships. It doesnt upset or bother me at all. I like seeing him happy and get his alone time with friends.


We are each others number ONE priority no matter what!!! Our mission is to make one another happy over anything :)


She needs to see her friends more. I guess I shouldn't mind.


He doesn't...now his car, that's another story ;)


She doesn't, i encourage her to do it... They are her friends


it depends on the friend. If they are the close childhood friends I know, then I'm okay with it and actually embrace him spending time with them. However, I'd prefere if he didn't hang out with some of his fraternity Brothers so I do get irritated by the fact he's spending time with them than me


Great question. I personally think it is the healthiest thing a couple can do. Every good relationship is based on some levels of separation. People need to have a separate life and existence to feel validated as individuals. They can't live solely as somebody's partner. If you take the time to spend it with friends and family, you find that the absence makes the relationship and desire to be in the relationship much stronger. It's healthy and it is never about choosing one over the other.


I wish she would have more time to spend with friends but she has no extra time right now.



I love it when he spends time with friends because I think he needs to get out more. :)


I hope he never has to choose "me or them". Time with friends is very important and we support each other to take friend time as well as alone time.


I love it. She has a lot to offer and it's nice to think she's out there getting rejuvenated.
