I couldn’t agree more. It’s the same between two close friends who do everything together. If one meets a new person and starts spending time that use to be given to the first with the other, the other may start to feel jealous and resentful towards the newcomer. I guess we need to know how to prove to our mates that we are still there and that they still have all our love even if there is someone else who gets some of our time. And I think in a healthy relationship, that partner would have to accept that and understand that it’s okay for you or for them to have a friend that isn’t each other. Like you said, it allows us to keep a sense of self and probably even makes us appreciate our mates more when we can take a step away and come back at a later time.

I’m glad that this topic has been addressed because it brings up alot of good points to think about. Like if you’re in a relationship but you don’t have any friends but you want some, then why don’t you have any? I think that that point you made about making your “BOO” your all is so true. When you and your mate become one to the point were others are not included it does become more of a challenge to be an individual. It causes conflict when ever one of the partners try to bring or introduce another person into the equation. It may even bring up feelings of recentment or jealousy. Its a thin line between friendship and a relationship and some people can’t determine or figure out were that line is. What we have to do is ask ourselves what is a true friend to me? What is a friend? What is a way that I can be a friend and do I want to be friends with this one or that one? We also need to understand that a true friend and a friend are two different things. Who are we and what do we want from the next person? Once we have determined or figured out these answers then it maybe easier to find what we are looking for in a friendship or a relationship.
