Serious relationships..?

Question

Do you think people should forget all their opposite-sex-friends when they are in a serious relationship?

Answer 1

rite now im in my 1st serious relationship and is hard cuz most of my friends were men and my boyfriend doesntlike that too much. so ive tried not to hang with them too much. like ill talk on the phone once in a while but no more going out or stuff like that. yes i know is stupid to leave friends for a bf but if i keep going out with them my bf is gonna do the same he is gonna go out with his g friends and i would really hate that so neither of us do it. once i told him i was gonna go to dinner with a guy friend and he said ok sure go. then i ended up not going and when i told him i didnt go he was like thank god u didnt go cuz if u would have gone out with him i would have gone out with other girls too. we ended up having a fight over it. well the point is that eventho it might be stupid thats what usually happens when u get to a serious relationship. and honestly i think is better that way.

Answer 2

No i totally think that if ur in a serious relationship and the other person in that relationship has a problem with u having friends in the opposite sex they can't trust you with anyone of ur girlfriends or guy friends.

Answer 3

Not at all, my 3 best friends in the entire world are girls. I make it very clear when i get involved with someone that I will not stop talking to these girls, and that i am not physically attracted to them in anyway, and then i prove it. Being in a serious relationship involves a lot of trust, and if you can't trust the guy your with then you shouldn't be in a relationship with him.

Answer 4

definately not. especially if you were close to them before the relationship. a lot of people make that mistake. if you & your new partner have a good relationship with trust and communication, they should understand the prior freidnship. granted, you may have to tone it down a bit with your friends, ie. not doing as much together as before or anything that may make your new partner feel threatened. but in general, we need our opposite sex friends when we are in a relationship for advice on how the other sex thinks, etc. it's great to get a point of view from the opposite sex sometimes. as long as your friend of the opposite sex isn't bent on sabbatoging your current relationship, i'd say keep them as a friend.

bottom line: It's NEVER good to cut off any friends (male or female) just for the sake of a new relationship! b/c if & when that relationship ends, your former friends will not want to speak to you anymore & will see you as a shallow person who gives up their friendships to please their partner. if your new partner is too jealous to accept your platonic friendships & you aren't doing anything disrespectful to your partner (ie. spending too much time w/friend, talking for hours on phone, putting your friend b/f your relationship) then i think you need to evaluate how jealous your partner is & if you have to cut off friends to be with them, it's not a healthy relationship.

Answer 5

No...not at all...im engaged to my guy and i still hang around with my male friends..most of the times with him..but sometimes even without him when he is away.He has full trust in me and knows how i am.It's the trust and understanding that should always be in a relationship...love just aint all.good luck:)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Well not forget them, but make time for your relationship.

Answer 8

no you shouldn't

i was in a serious one in highschool

she moved then my friends were like all away from me. i had to start new since it was awkward going back to them after not talking to them for over a year.

it sucks and i kind of regret not talking to them or spending time with them.

Answer 9

YES! or keep the distance someone might steal your lovely one.
