I've pondered this for sometime.
I've heard people argue that if your girl friends don't like your partner, they likely see something in the person that you don't.
Sometimes I've heard that it's just jealousy.
I've heard that people should abandon their friends who aren't supportive of their relationship?
What approach do you take?
Is it dependent on the friend?
How do you manage to balance your friendships with your relationships?
With my current relationship I saw the tensions between my room-mates and my boyfriend. My solution to the problem was to move out on my own. I'm still friends with my ex room-mates, though because we're all busy college students it gets harder to see them. When I do see them, if I mention my boyfriend I always get this weird tension that I'm not sure how I'm supposed to respond. Any advice?
I also hang out with the engineering/computer science crowd and my boyfriend is in engineering so my friends from my school major are much more understanding and accepting, they even think we work well together.
I don't know if it's because I was living with my room-mates when I first started dating him that they have a different impression, or if he really makes them that uncomfortable that I can barely bring my boyfriend up in conversation.
I just feel I have to filter so much depending on the people I'm around and I wonder how do you deal with tensions between friendships and your relationships?
