At what point in your relationship do you say your partner is more important than your friends?

Question

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

You should never be forced to make that decision. Even when you are married, your husband should recognize that you sometimes need to spend time with family and friends without his tagging along, and he should trust you so completely that he encourages you to go spend time with them without hesitation. And you should do the same for him.

When they STOP being a 'date' and you start seeing one another as being a 'couple'...
you begin to take THEIR comfort and approval into your considerations and decisions.
Their 'companionship' takes on a personal 'worth'. You DON'T want to 'distance' them~
You're now empowering them, trusting them to affect YOUR 'life'.

for me, the moment both of us think so, John is now my best friend, confidant, lover, husband, and everything else, but we still have our own space, I can ask or tell him anything,

For me there is no comparison or competition because the best friend and the male lover have different purposes in my life and their roles do not compete.

EricSummer · Answer

These are different roles of people and they are not mutually exclusive. Many people believe that you should only one partner, and I agree with that, but you can keep your friends.

If I could only have one, I would choose to have a partner, one woman, sorry my dear friends.

When he decides you're worth marrying & you want to marry him. When you're engaged. Yes, a lot of people say marriage is 'just paper' but the fact is that it's a huge step and above not being married. Assuming you're smart enough to only be in a serious relationship with a quality dude & valuable to earn his interest.

asphaltrhymes · Answer

I've never had that problem and probably for those reasons, I much prefer spending time with family and friends (plus let's face it, adult life has work, hobbies, committments) and where's the time lol? So I figure, my answer would be, only in an ideal world or the last two living things on Earth, lol. 😁😋🤩

CaptainOverthink · Answer

When you start up a family. Or when you can say for sure that you've found someone that wants to do that with you and do too.
Also depends on which friends, ofc.

But even then it can't be 100% partner-focus because you hanging with your friends are a big part of "you-time". You can't reliably be there for anyone if you don't take care of yourself first.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

I am going through this in my mind and trying to find the percentage and i would say 80% of the time where my partner is more important than my friends.

glennos89 · Answer

For me from the beginning but that doesn't mean my friends aren't important anymore. If I wanne visit my friends she my woman should give me the space to do that

Adam1978 · Answer

When they actually are your partner and not just a date.

Yannishka · Answer

The fact they are just friends and not best friends is enough.

Agape93 · Answer

Doesn't happen with me. My friends are my family, at best they rise to their level, not above it.

Anonymous · Answer

Pretty early. My friends aren't very important to me.😆  Family is another matter. There will reach a point when she is more important than my family. But I've never met a woman yet worthy of that.

najekim · Answer

Both are important in Human relations. It's just that the partner takes priority in important matters. IMHO, that point is when you fully commit your lives to one another.
