Your man don't want you to meet with your friends. What would you do if you are in this situation? Would you listen to him or not?

I guess it would depend on how seriously he didn't approve of them and why. I wouldn't normally stop seeing any of my friends over mere dislike, but if it were something that seemed to be of plausible concern, I would certainly think about it.

Oh no! If you have good friends and you guy doesn't like them than too bad! Tell him he's going to have to deal with it and get used to you hanging out with your friends because you are not going to stop seeing them. Friends are forever. If your guy try's to stop you from seeing your friends than that means he is possesive and that is never a good aspect in a relationship!

i have to hear the reason first. my hubby is not that friendly so he always makes me stay home rather going with my friends. i bring him along for him to see what good friends i have and now they are my hubbys friends as well.

I'll try to do that. Actually he's a very shy person.

I won't listen to my man if he doesn't have good reasons. I have known my friends for a long time and many of them are really good friends. And they are the friends who support through my dark times. Therefore I won't sacrifice my friends for a man if he doesn't have excellent reasons on why he doesn't want me to meet my friends. If he's just being controlling, I think I would dump him too. I think I deserve my own freedom in making friends and if I don't ask him to not meeting his friends, he shouldn't ask me to do that too!

Hey, I would never be put in that kind of situation. And just say, If I was, there would be no way that I would let my man ruin good relationships with my friends, especially when I know they are, true, trusting, honest and genuinely caring to me and my family. C'os those are the types of friends I have...

What if one of your friends is hiding something from you. Let's just say that one of your friends have a dark side and he don't wants you to be like her. Yes, she's good enough to be your friend but it doesn't mean that she's innocent.

of course i wouldn't listen to him. that would prove him to be selfish, posesive and narow minded... i don't need a person like that as my MAN... if he'd EVER put me on the spot of chosing between him and my friends, i'd choose my friends in a heart beat and with absolutely no regrets.

What if he have a reason why he wants to stop seeing your friends? Like they are forcing you to do things that against your will or, they're spreading gossips about you.

well, if he really loves me then he'd accept and love the people that I love. BUt I would also take into consideration why his telling me to stop seeing my friends. Maybe he saw something bad that I didn't.
