how would you feel if when you wanted to go out with your partner he would tell you that he can't do that because he has somehting to do..but if a friend asked him if he wanted to go out he would accept? I'm asking this cuz I went trough this and I want to know if I was absurd to start a fight out of it

I think it depends on how often he rejects going out with you? If he never will go out with you or if he very seldom goes out with you then I'd say you got plenty of right to be mad at him. Also yes I think I'd be mad if he made an excuse he couldn't go out with me and in the same frame of time he goes out with his friend. That doesn't sound right at all. I'm sorry, I feel badly for you.

If it was me, I would have gotten really angry about that and quarreled about it. It seems that the partner is not important compared to friends. i understood why you react in such a manner. He owes an explanation on what his actions.

I think a romantic partner that you are in a serious relationship with should always be priority over friends. I can see a man, or woman, being free to go out with their friends a couple times a week or when time permits. However why would anyone want to go out with friends when they can go out with the partner they supposedly love and the partner that should mean the world to them?

I can understand my partner not wanting to go out with me from time to time, but when they make their friends a priority that is where I would have an issue with him. If it were to happen once then I would be sad if I wanted to go out and he did not but opted to immediately say yes to a friend. Then I would speak to him about how I felt and hoped he respected me enough to apologize and not do so again. If it began to be a routine habit thing then I would not be a happy person. I would hope he understood that I was priority and yes it would make room for fighting and or at least my being angry if he did so continuously.

I would be hurt, I can see if we were always going out and he just wanted time to his self but it he just doesn't want to go out with me and goes out with his friends instead, I would be very upset. Don't pick a fight with him but do ask him why he chose to hang out with his friends instead of you. Ask him how would he feel if you chose going out with your friends as oppose to hanging out with him. I'm sure he would be upset as well. I can relate to this swissheart because an ex boyfriend of mine would do this very thing often. I would say some on bae, let's go to the movies later. Her would say he was too tired and then less than 4 hours later, he's calling or texting me that he's going out with the guys. Eventually I got fed up and we got into a huge argument. The relationship didn't last much longer after that.

Yeah because the guy is choosing his friends over his woman. He's making his friends more important then his main squeeze. This would make for a painful relationship. It would be smart to leave a painful relationship. You said you did; I think that's great.

My friend was in this situation a few months ago. She asked her boyfriend to go out with her but he said he couldn't and was going to stay indoors. But later on that day he told her he was going to hangout with his friend and they started arguing she was mad because he decided to hang out with his friends instead of her which is not fair. If you feel like what he did was unfair its normal to start a fight you're angry and want explanations on why he agreed to hangout with his friend and not you

I would find it weird, but also.. if I like to go out and my man can't I would go alone. I learned that I was always the one who gave in and up everything while my ex continued with living his life mostly with his friends. He always found time to go out with them. I can't tell you the reason for that. Might be he likes it more with his friends as with is wife (as soon as we had a relationship he did not find it interesting anymore to show me around I guess). My ex never gave me a good reason for it, with some people you can't have a conversation. I also found out it's useless to start a fight. You can ask him why he decided to go out with his friend? Perhaps at that time he was finished with being busy? Or perhaps there was an other reason why he decided to spend time with his friend (they did not see eachother for a long time or the friend has a serious problem or he just thinks he sees you every day and he doesn't meet his friend every day).

He probably got bored of your relationship? Have a heart to heart talk with him for you to understand instead of starting a fight. If he's not listening, walk out in front of him, check if he still cares.
