In a committed relationship, but still dating other people, is that ok?????

It's fully depends of each of their mind and their heart. Is make some possessiveness to our pair then we need to cut it off. Because possessiveness make the Angry about this issue. You should talk about this matter directly. It's much needed for the Good Pairs. Everythink in life is Understanding between each of them they understand well nothing is wrong.

I think if your friends are good friends there is no reason to abandon them just because you have a steady relationship now. The only thing that should be clear is that you have a bf and he has a gf so the relationships you have with other people should be clear about that. Go out with your friends no matter what gender they have, otherwise you might end up one day completely alone.

While I'd consider "Dating" to be socialising as part of progressing in a relationship,and "Hanging out" being non-relationship level socialising with someone not your committed Partner, Being in a relationship shouldn't mean you should just drop all the friends you had before..If your relationship has respect and trust one for one another enough not to have Jealous feelings becoming an issue when out socialising with your friends and not along with your partner,then good for you...go for it!

I think it's best to know your limitations first.If you believe that it's just socializing then I don't think it's a problem.If you are in a serious relationship trust, honesty, communication must work hand in hand in order to make your relationship better.If you say it's just male friends, then it's ok set limits on your part so that they would know that you go with them for friendly purposes only and for hook ups :) Some men always forget that and you should let them know that too . :)

I would never personally be in a relationship like that but if he is still seeing and hanging out with females I guess he is saying its ok for you to see your male friends... Whats good for him should be good for you too. If he stops seeing so much of his female friends than you should limit yourself from seeing your male friends. It works both ways. That is my opinion anyway. =)

This is an extremely strange committed relationship! But if it's okay for him to go out with his female friends, then you have the right to do the same with your male friends. But, you should remember that it should not go too far. So, you can socialise with your male friends and not feel guilty about it. Make sure you remind it's nothing serious, just like what he does! Hope this helps :)

i think it all depends on your set up. we date people so we get to know them and know which of them we want to be with. if you have committed yourself to one person then for my point of view, then it should be him that you are solely going out with. if you go out with male friends, there aren't any romantic involvement and should only be just friends and you are in the company of other people too.

what are y'all committed to? doesn't sound to me like each other. seems that you would both be happier alone and dating others.

I live in the UK, and I don't think that it is acceptable to date other people while you're in a relationship. If your partner knows what is going on, and is happy for you to do so, then that might be okay, but I don't think that you're showing a great deal of respect to your partner by doing this. In the US, I know that it is different, and there might be nothing wrong with dating more than one person at the same time until you agree to be "exclusive" so I think it depends where you come from really; I would never agree with it though.

I believe it is not the right thing to do. Your boyfriend started being so close with his girl friends. But for you to do what he is doing is bad. You should have a heart to heart talk with him and ask him what is going on with your relationship. It is disrespectful to your side knowing that your a girl even if he says that he is has no relationship with others. Speak for your right.

there is a difference between hanging out and dating the friends and you dident say if he go's out with more then one in a group like setting also have you told him you'd prefer him not go with them alone you would like to be there or their boyfriends also are any of these females gay and that's why they have no problem having a guy friend. mostly 2 wrongs dont make it right lead by example

I think you should have a talk about this and if you're both ok with it keep spending time with your male/female friends. If you think it would be disrespectful to your relationship it kind of implies that his spending time with his female friends is also disrespectful to your relationship. An open discussion can solve some problems.

Sounds OK to me as long as you know your limitation with men since you have a commited relationship. I think its only fair to do that since he's going out with female friends too and its fun hanging around with friends.friendly dates wont hurt him, I guess :) but if your worried about what he'll say or think, why not communicate with him about this kind of set up.

If both of you are decisive to be committed, then making friends doesn't have to bother both of you. And since when socializing with gets wrong? Both of you must clarify what socializing means to the two of you. Is it like socializing like friends? or socializing like flirting? you both have to sit down and talk about it. If you both are still flirting with others, then that is an open relationship. Stop playin', get real. If you feel like flirting with others or he does, then split up. Unless you're fine with open relationship which I think is just a game and silly too. Stay classy girl, stay classy:)

I think that in this specific instance it would be perfectly fine to socialise with your male friends if you wanted to. I say this because you mention that it doesnt really bother you when he goes out with female friends. IF you do go out with other men, you would have to have your boundaries firmly in place so that they know from the start that it is only a social happening and that no loving long term partnership or relationship can come of it.This might end up becoming a problem in the long run, especially if one of your male friends develops deeper feelings. But then again, if you are a well balanced, assertive female, you might manage those things easily and have loads of fun while socialising freely.

Hi.. i am woman, i am not more friends in male but most of woman.If i am marriage, i will not make any boy friends because the partner will also do that to have many friends girls. But it depends on you and the partner agreement,if your partner does not want you to have boys friends , i think not allowed.because there is maybe a jealous.

I t depends on how both of you sets limits. But normally if I am in a relationship, I would only go out with male friends whom my boyfriend also know and before I go out with my friend, I'd ask my boyfriend whether I can hang out with him or not. You can at least try to tell your boyfriend what you feel about what's he's doing and what you try to do. Ask him as well what he's gonna feel if you hang out wiht your male friends.

hm, well i would say since u r asking this either in this forum or may be to urself...u r to some extent convinced abt it urself (that it is right to go out) and just want some support from others. If you would have considered it as "wrong" upfront then u wud not have even thought abt it and wud have ignored it rather then posting it over here. evry relation is different and requires a little space. the space is decided by people in relation. if u talk abt me, i would not have gone as i know my partner would also not like it, however ur relation is different and u need to take that decision. if i may suggest , why dont u ask this question to ur partner....as to y u r in a dilemma when it comes to going out with ur friends...i would suggest talk in length abt this with ur partner whom have committed urself for ur life....
