So, this probably doesn't help me in my situation, but I would like some woman's prospective on this. I was dating a girl officialy for more than 7 months. She was very caring and affectionate. She even introdced me to her family quite early and we spent a lot of time also with them. I know her family is very dear to her.
She wanted (and I did not mind, of course) to spend a lot of time together. Before we went official, she often mentioned what she did with her (mostly male) friends on the weekend like sports, bbqs, hanging out, visiting each other. Most of them are married. I know they knew about me.
But I have never met them. And she declined multiple of their invitations to hang out (mostly as a group) where they even said to bring me along. When I inquired about the reasons for me not meeting them, she said that they were a bit different from me and that we would probably not get along too well. She described a bit about their background, occupations and education. So I let it be. Later, when she spoke about them I realized she did not refer to them as friends anymore, but as acquaintances. She arranged a mutual meeting with one of her female friends instead.
To be clear, I told her several times, that I don't want her friendships and interrests suffer because of our relationship. I was fine, when she told me she would be meeting with a male friend for some sport activity. Even though we could have done it together (her and me), as I also played the sport. But we would meet afterwards or the next day.
I am pretty used to introduce my GFs to my friends and vice versa. So I don't know if this is normal and should also expect this in my future from you girls, so I don't make a big deal out of it.
