Would you stop seeing your friends if your man didn't approve of them?

for me my friends comes first coz i met my friends before i met my boyfriend i agree with you that if your man loves you he will respect your friends as he respects you. but i think its vice versa your friends and his friends should be respected regardless of their attitudes towards you. Because he or she will never be your friends if they had an attitude problem right so explain it very well to your partner that those friends of yours is not that bad as he sees it just give them a chance to prove themselves that they only want the best for their friend.

of course not. if thats going to happen to me. i'll do something to that. if my friends dont like my guy, i would settle that using another way. i'll spend time with my friends alone, meaning without my guy. i would tell them, if you dont like to mingle with my guy then respect my feelings too. and i would also tell my guy the same way. i have to have friends too right. well if these people are sincere with their relationship towards me then they will accept who i will go or talk to.

It really depends on the case, but usually its a no for me. Most of my friends and my wife can get along so I don't have a problem.

If the husband is a mentally healthy person, I am sure he will understand things better if the wife will explain everything about her friends to him. Not unless the friends you are talking about are involved in any negative acts or becoming bad influence, I don't believe that the husband should exert any effort for the wife to disassociate with her friends. Friends are so importnat even to marriend couples.

No. I won't. why should i? This is my friends and i am the only one that will decide who i will want in my world and who i won't. My man does not have any right to do so. I know that when i was very young and very much in love with a man i lived with, i did listen to him and stop seeing one of my best friends. That was a big mistake, and later on i just called this best friend , apologized and asked her to forgive me. No one should control the other or tell them what to do.

No way. One time i was dating this guy and he start running his mouth about my friends...first i try to ignore him and tell him that's nothing wrong with my friends. Only last 3 weeks! I told him that if he can't accept them as my friends so...I can't be as his girl...that's too much to ask!

well after i had my son my friends stopped coming around, i only ended up keeping in touch with 2 good friends, my hubby did not approve of one b/c she was single and went clubbing alot and always tried to influence me to go with her, but i did listen to my hubby b/c he did the same for me, so it was two sided.

I trust my guy and am sure that he would ask me not to meet my firneds only if he had serious objections. of course i would ask him, what made him think that way and if, in my opinion, he had been wrong i would argue with him, however if he had no bad meaning i would leave my friends. because friends u can have as many as u want, but love is only one. and i really dont wanna lost my beloved.

i have a friend who has boyfriend who's is such a big joke for letting our friend choose between their relationship and our friendship.. i hate the idea and i pity my friend so much.. i know she hates this too, but she still choose her man over us.. she choose this man, over our five years of friendship.. but that night as a friend of course we understand her.. and as days pass by, we lost our communication.. coz her bf wont allow her to see us, even chatting at ym is a big no no for him.. i miss my friend, but since she chooses him, i just wish them good luck.. and i'm hoping i cant find man like his boyfriend.. i mean, this is my life, and if he dont want the idea of seeing my friends, i'd rather break up with him,, coz i know there are lots of men out there, but my friends.. they are few and i dont want to lose them..

depends on what I think is right, but if I know that he's right, then I'll obey him. Like for an example, if he don't want me to have guy friends anymore because they make him jealous, then I'll obey him because I really love him and I'll do it just not to let him go but i'll also avoid him to have friends who are girls.

I think you don't deserve a man who wants you to avoid your friends. He's so narrow-minded and selfish. What if you did it the other way around? You let him stop seeing his friends, too. Will he give in? What would he feel? Don't bothered by that one because there are still many fishes in the ocean.

Definitely NO! Lucky me that he did not interfere with me in making friends.

I am grateful he did not ask me. But, of course, definitely, NOT. My friends are among the people I care about and I would expect my man to receive willingly some people I care about and love like family and friends and they are important part of my life. They are good friends and a good influence to me and I do not see any reason why my man would not approve of them. Accepting my friends is also accepting a part of me. I cherish my relationship with my friends and I do not think my man has any right to decide whom should I have as friends.

No way, would he give up his friends if I asked,, I am sure the answer is NO, so why would I let someone have that much control over me, or my life....

well my husband did disapprove a friend years ago and i did obey him for some reasons. but now me and my friend are okey and we are seeing each other also. it's nice of her to be back!

No. i have done this in the past with my ex since he manipulated me so bad and I will never ever let anyone controll me like that again. My current bf would never dream of speaking ill of my friends, coz he know how much they mean to me, and if he did - well he still have to accept them as my friends.

Me and my ex husband had a fight over this one time and I told him. I had these friends before I met you. I'm not going to stop talking to my friends because I am with you. He tried to tell me I needed to stop talking to and hanging around my best friend.

NO, NO, NO, NO!!!! I did this once with my ex-husband. He didn't like any of my friends and said they were all trouble. He said that if I really loved him, I wouldn't hang out with them anymore. Well me being the stupid person I was. I stopped talking to all my friends. Now that I look back, that was just one of the many ways that he used to control my life. Also now that I think about it, my friends weren't trouble, they were just trying to make me see what a jerk/a-hole my ex husband really was. And, I can definitly say they were/still are my true friends. Even though I quite talking to them, they were still there waiting for me when I finally left my ex husband. They understood what was happening, that is true friendship. So now that I am remarried. I made it very clear that I would not be controlled my anyone ever again. I also made sure that my husband knew that I will not get rid of any of my friends for him. He is fine with that. He gets along with my friends, even my guy friends! He is a wonderful man.

For the sake of our relationship together, if he doesn't approved it then I wholeheartedly submit every will I have whatever he wanted...I will just act as a loving partner to him more and from such act I can show him the real love I have for him, being a submissive partner to him.

I used to have an ex-bf that really dictated my life.. who i should be friends with and all that. Eventually, i got tired of it because i couldn't have a say in who HE should be friends with. And we broke up because I chose my friends instead. No guy should tell you what to do and rule your life. If your man doesn't approve, he really should have concrete reasons.. (like, as u said, being influenced negatively). But if he just does it to control your choice, then he should be shooed out the door. I'm glad that my husband really has respect for my choice in friends.
