no, you should have friends still. You can't have everything in common with the person you are in a relationship with. If you have no hobbies or interest outside of that person than there is something wrong, they are defining you and someday you'll be resentful and won't know what happned to yourself. Keep your friends, spend time with them, keep your hobbies.

Depends on what kind of friends they are... A lot of people have "Friends with Benefits" if that is the case then it needs to be taken down a notch or two if it is an earnest friendship and the person that you are committed to is jealous or possessive it's time to re-think the commitment.

No. It is normal and important to have friends when you are in a committed relatinship. You need a balance in your life and cannot depend solely on one person.
Unless you are referring to friends of the opposite sex.If you are referring to friends of the opposite sex read on:...Friends of the opposite sex are still acceptable to have but it should be very clear that they are nothing more than friends. If they are doing things to make your significant other jealous then they probably should cool it. Although you and your friend may have always acted that way together, when you are in a relationship your friends of the opposite sex need to tone down the friendliness towards you. Don't give up your friends for your gf/bf but make sure your gf/bf knows that it is you that you want to be with.

not at all because no matter how much you two love each other and are committed to each other both of you need to have your time away from one another time to time. there is such a thing as too much time spend with the person you love because sometimes that person could be overwhelming. you both need to have other people in your life that you can talk to and ask for help when needed. there are going to be rough times in your relationship when you are not going to be able to speak to your partner and you are going to need a friend.

Absolutely not. They will be there for you. Also, maybe your friends can be friends with the person you are in a relationship with. Also, if the relationship doesn't work out, your friends will still be there for you.

No having friends is haelthy just ren=member that your girl comes first dont dis her to go out with friends and dont keep secrets from her like if you a a friend thats a girl let her know and dont do nothing that would make her jelous of your friends. Keep a good balance between them.

It depends on your definition of "friends," I suppose.
Comrades, buddies, amigos, as long as they remain on a platonic (non-romantic) level, are a-okay. Someone who is trying to keep you from having these kinds of friends can be dangerous. By alienating you from your friends, he may be manipulating you, trying to increase your dependence upon him, so that he can do whatever he wants without the fear of you leaving him.
"Friends with benefits" or other similar-type "friends," on the other hand, are a no-no. If you're spending more time with your guy-pal then your boyfriend, then there's probably something wrong with this picture.

No! As long as those friends are friends. Not booty calls. And as long as problems in the relationship stay in the relationship. Don't run to your friends with the problems, especially if they are of the opposite sex. Hell, it's 2007 as long as they are not the same sex as the person you are in the relationship with.

Its perfectly fine to have friends and a relationship. Maybe you should introduce your friends to your love and then you can all be happy!

of course not...
why would it be wrong? if your partner is expecting you to leave all of your life just to be a part of this relationship, then you are putting yourself inside unhealthy situation that will ruin your life.
please don`t give more than you should to anyone.
