You meet your someone new. He enjoys hanging with the homies. Things start getting serious, he still wants to hang out with his boys. Do you give him his space? Do you force him to stop hanging with his boys so much? What is the compromise?
Some females have close relationships with their girls. They have certain nights deemed as “ladies night.” Are you willing to sacrifice or not go out with your girls so much because you are now in a relationship?
What is the healthy balance? Both need time to be away from the other. The man needs to have some type of male companionship, but what is too much? Females need time to unwind with their girls, but what is too much?
Also, what is appropriate “hanging out?” As a female, are you cool with your man going to a strip club? As a man, are you cool with your lady going out to the club with her single girlfriends?
I think there needs to be clear communication between both in the relationship. There may be some assumptions going on. I might assume that my lady will not hang with her girls as much because we are in a relationship. The one I am dating may assume that I know that she hangs out with her girls a lot, so I should be use to it and deal with it. People in a relationship need to talk more.
What do you think is an acceptable balance?
