Do you agree when a woman distances herself from her male friends once she's in a relationship?

Honestly I think this is subject to happening in general, both with her male and female friends. When you get into a relationship it’s an adjustment for everyone. Like I may not be as available I was before, because as a single person my free time was available for solely my friends/fam, now I’m having to ration it out. If I’m in a serious relationship then my partner is who takes priority, like one day he might be my family as well. So while it may come off as distancing myself, I think it’s just those friends having a hard time accepting that I may not be available for things I used to always have time for.

That's very true. I personally was always good at keeping my friends while in a relationship but that's probably because although I have many male friends most of them are gay LOL

Yes, I too have several gay male friends lol and when I got into my current relationship they didn’t take it too hard. It was actually my female best friend who took it as some sort of abandonment and literally cried about it for months. I really try spreading my time around, but as the relationship progresses and I’m juggling that and my business, it’s hard. So I’m just grateful for the friends who don’t give me a hard time and know I’m doing my best☺️

I feel like that's a personal choice. Some don't feel like they need to since their friends were there first. But others might not agree and make their s/o their priority. It is what it is. We (as the friends, family, or s/o) need to understand that each person's life is theirs to live. If they decide to distance themselves if for a certain reason and you don't need to fight for their attention.

Care about those who DO want you in their life and vice versa.

I have some female friends who I don't want to lose when they get all cuffed up.

I don't usually have to deal with this issue because of my personality. The couple times I did, they guy was very insecure and controlling.

It's understandable. I treated one of my differently when she was no longer single because I didn't want her man thinking I had designs on her.

No, because then y'all were never really friends. Don't be friends with guys you not really trying to befriend.

Yes, it's disrespectful to your partner if you don't.

[Raaj4you]

Yes, this is the right thing to do.

[Emanon25]

Many do but I have no clue why the do that.

[sheikalana]

I guess they don't want to upset their partner.

Men and women can't be friends
