When me and my girlfriend started our relationship one rule we made with each other is no chatting anymore. I just want her and me to focus on our relationship, our carreer, and our future. How about you guys? Have a nice day!

What exactly do you mean when you say no chatting? As in no flirting with other people anymore? I'm curious

Really no form of communication with other people. That's really extreme don't you think? As well as controlling, there is absolutely nothing wrong with talking to people in my opinion. You are just constricting her and thats not healthy in my opinion

chatting to his cousins,brother and nephews are okay with me and to our friends. I trusted him and I know he will not do anything that makes our marriage broken. I allow him with purely business and no flirting to anybody.

My friend mods we almost break up before because I got really jealous and got mad at her, I know I trust her, I love her very much, it was an ex of her who keeps on sending her messages that is very sweet. From that day she doesn't chat anymore to let everything ends with her ex and her. To stop the arguements. I know she avoided him, love him, When they broke up I met her she was avoiding to love again that time because of the memories that lingers on, the pains she even left her 16 years relationship just for him. It took her quite a time to forget him 2 years. Last week she told me thanks for loving me you let me learn to love again. Have a nice day to you!

It depends who shes talking too. I don't really want her talking to people she doesn't know. I don't see the point in it. Luckily she doesn't so i don't have a problem.

Well before we almost break up because of this. I trust her yes, but the men nope. Men have their own ways and you know that dude. She can do other things beside chatting! She can go out with her girl friends, go for a trip, visiting relatives, playing games on the internet but not chatting. Have a nice day to you! Advance Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I think that's a tad bit controlling to say no chatting. you have to realize that every relationship needs variety. You can still focus on your relationship while still chating. It's probably better if you both take time out of all the stresses of life and chat with others. There's nothing wrong with this. But focusing solely on relationships, careers and your future can be tiresome. If my fiance ever imposed this rule on me I would leave him. Sorry but I'm not about to have someone tell me how to spend my time. If you both aren't able to maintain a relationship while being able to do other curriculars perhaps you should re-evaluate the relationship. Relationship is work and it does take focus but never should it have restrictions.
So to answer your title header. .. allow my fiance.. I would never place any restrictions on him to begin with. He can do whatever he wants, if I found it was hindering the relationship I'd ask him if we could have some alone time but never say. No you can't chat or go online etc. I think this is a bit far fetched, but then again everyone is different. But there's no way do I agree with any of what you said.

Before I used to chat a lot. One time we almost broke up because of this. I really got jealous and really flared up. I love her, I trust her, but the men nope. Their are still alot of things to do beside chattting. She can go out with her girl friends go for a trip, and see her relatives that I wont mind. She can play games on the internet. She knows what is right and what is wrong for us not to argue and not hurting each other. We just have our own life! Have a nice day to you!

Hello n30wing!
I don't see what is wrong with chatting with others. I think this is a great way to meet people - not for meeting potential lovers but for friendship.
I had met a lot of people online, but all of them are friends. Some of my friends are happy moms and proud dads with kids. They chat - for the need that they want to simply connect and meet other people for mere friendship and business opportunity reasons. No intimacy involved!
I am not here to pick a fight here, but I strongly believe that the no-chat rule is quite a childish decision. It just means that you don't trust each other, so you still need to enforce that no-chat rule. It is a lot similar to the situation where a husband does not want the wife to go out of the house for fear that she may be meeting another man.
Learn to trust each other. It is always a part of the relationship. If you need to chat, pick your friends well. Avoid those that are simply made for meeting other people. If you had learned to trust each other, then I am sure that your girl is really the one for you.

to extend on that thought.. N30wing are you not disobeying your own rules by coming on here to chat with us?

I think it is fine to allow your partner to chat. Chatting with others would not ruin a relationship. Trust is an important aspect of love. Not allowing your partner to chat or meet other friends is a sign that trust is absent in your relationship. If you love and trust someone you would not be afraid to let her meet other people because you know that in the end, it will always be you that she's gonna choose.

I used to chat alot before. We almost break up because of this chatting! Really got jealous. Well I do trust her. But the men no way! She can still do other things like going out with her girl friends,visiting relatives, to travel, and playing computer games. Once in a while she can chat but when I am beside her. I just don't want her and me to argue about this matter. We just have our own life to face. Advance Merry Christams to you and your family!

I don't mind him chatting with people that he knows, friends and such, and I don't mind if they are male or female. I would not however like him going into chat rooms just to find new people to chat with. If I were to find out that he was doing this I would not be happy. He is a closet World of Warcraft player, so I don't mind him chatting on there, but I do like to know who he is chatting to and about what. I trust him fully, I just don't trust others LOL. He's the same way though. He wants to know things too... so as long as it is innocent chatting with friends, I don't mind

Relationship build with love and trust does not deprive the things that your girlfriend love or fond to do of. Yes bounderies should be clear enough to be understood which needs the two of you to be in agreement with. Chatting with friends and family and good and happy times to do.
