Does anyone else feel like they have lost friends simply by not keeping contact because of their partner?

totally contradicted myself. Haha.

I guess it means you put a lot of trust in your partner? I mean, obviously you’re extremely happy with him and you don’t feel the need to have other people around as much. In my personal opinion, as someone who has never felt this way mind you, I feel like it could be bad in the sense that if you lost this relationship, you’re almost losing a lot more than if you lost a friend who wasn’t a close, and you’re going to be left with a barren pool of acquaintances. I assume a lot people in this situation could feel it’s a fair trade off and are quite happy with it.

I am in this situation as well.

for me it is the other way around, my boyfriends would get upset that i did not losen up relationships i had with other friends (expecialy other dudes) to make time for them. i try staying balanced but it is good to give your relationship a little more extra time then the rest

i was like that with my ex, im not afraid to admit it, haha. of course you’re always with your boyfriend, so you forget to talk to your friends. it sucks though because then if he cant hangout or see you or whatever, they wont want to hangout with you.

I think it’s a matter of perspective some couples are content with just each other and other couples like to have outside interests which they then talk and share about at home. However, I have to agree with OkaiO if your entire life revolves around only one person and there is a breakup it would be much harder because you would not have a support group of friends and would have to face starting that part of your life over, as well.

Yeah I think the same thing like what if we break up- I’d have nobody lol. We’ve lived together for like a year so we see each other every day, all the time, our lives are one, yet still I only want to spend time with him..

Thanks, yeah I agree, if we broke up I’d have nobody, just a widespread pool of acquaintances, but that doesn’t even bother me! I feel like it should, I feel like I should want to have other close friends but I really don’t have any need or want to at all. I feel like that’s wrong though… I am confused somewhat lol.
