I've isolated myself from my friends since i've been w/ my b.f.

I've always been a quiet person with a small group of friends. Although I never really hung out with them THAT much, I talked to them online quite a bit. My boyfriend and I have been together for about half a year and ever since then I've basically stopped talking to all of my other friends. I have no interest in doing so, either. Someone texted me today and asked me if I was free this Sunday and even though I actually am not free, I don't think I would have liked to spend time with them anyway. Is it normal to not feel sad or lonely even though I only have one friend--my boyfriend?

    If u break up with your bf u will have no friends and be alone... That's sad! U shouldn't give up your other friends just because u have a bf. It's normal, lots of people do it but lots regret it too!

    I think its normal to feel that way. To be honest, the whole being part of a group of large friends and doing something social every weekend thing died out for me after the fifth grade.

    As I got older I had less and less friends anyway, and my boyfriend is the best friend I could ask for. We have everything in common and talk about everything with eachother, things I have never and could never speak to my friends about.

    I have a few friends, only one whom I see socially which happens very little because she is in university all week and studies most weekends. I see her less than once a month but that's okay, because we enjoy eachothers company as friends, not as psycho obsessed friends who get utterly green with jealousy when another friend gets involved in a relationship.

    Its normal to want to spend more time with your boyfriend instead of your friends, because you love him in a way that you could never love your friends. Your boyfriend is your significant other, and friends are friends. There to cheer you up, have a drink with, and lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on, when nessicary. A life partner however, is there till the end.

    I'm not saying every relationship that has ever exsisted lasts forever, but chances are if its serious enough to allow the feelings of not really wanting or needing attention from friends, than its serious enough to say it will probably last.

    My opinion is that you should do whatever you feel like doing.If your relationship with your boyfriend is an evolutionary thriving thing and you feel like focusing on that, god speed you!And about the "what if's" things won't work out and such thrilling scenarios, you will mourn your guts out and suffer like we see other people suffering as in the depths of your nightmares, right here on Earth, our home .But we are lucky bastards so we will heal as fast as cockroaches.After you will heal and begin wonderful, new and diverse interactions with all kinds of people and living things.

  • Yes it's normal, but think about it, what if he dumps you? Then you'll be alone, so it's best to get out there and make some friends so atleast when it's said and done you'll have people/someone else to fall back on. Friends are a good thing :)

    Okay, yes this is normal. NO IT IS NOT HEALTHY. Take it from someone with experience, If he is all you have, you won't have him forever. Things get boring fast if you don't have friends. Make sure he does as well.

    i spend all my time with my boyfriend, and say fuck it about the rest of my friends. my boyfriend has always been there for me through everything and never expects anything out of me. my friends on the other hand, expect me to do so much for them and i never get a thanks. they're also great for disappearing when i need help.

    Please try to hang out with your friends some. A girl in my town went through the same thing, and he ended up breaking up with her and she tried to commit suicide. Thankfully, she is ok now and is living a happy and healthy life. Lots of her friends wouldn't accept her back once all this happened and we ended up becoming friends and she really regrets it all. Never seperate yourself from friends for a boy because you never know how it may end up.

  • Yeah it's normal. I do the same with my girlfriend. I rather spend ALL my time with her than my friends. They made it known that they miss hanging out with me but I just don't feel like being with them and I want to be with my girlfriend all the time :/
