Is it normal that my girlfriend likes to go drinking without me?

I am dating a girl and she's great, but sometimes she like to go out drinking or go to parties and doesn't want me to go. I don't really drink at all and this might be the reason. Is it normal for her to do this? Is it normal for me to feel insecure about it?

    Sorry but I find it ludicrous that a poster here could say that it's abnormal for a girl to want to go out with friends or alone and that she must be cheating or feel suffocated! Just because two people are together doesn't mean they have to be joined at the blooming hip all the time!
    It's perfectly normal to feel jealous and a bit insecure but it's also perfectly normal for you guys to do things separately too. How boring would it be if you did the same things together all the time? In a truly happy and comfortable relationship you can go off and do your own thing and have trust in each other that you will be faithful to each other and not question the other persons motives all the time. I say relax and do your own thing, go out with your own friends and enjoy your relationship!

    If she likes to drink and you don't maybe she just going to get drunk. She probably knows you don't like alcohol and so doesn't invite you.

    "Good times", "fun" and "socializing" can take on very different meanings in a party at 3 in the morning when evryone is drank. Of course u dont expect her to tell you the details of all the parties! think for yourself. Its normal to feel insecure, but in the long run feelings of insecurity and inadequacy will drain your self esteem. Find a gal who shares the same lifestyle as yourself, you will be happier. (am not judging your girlfriend, she has a right to pursue her lifestyle)

    Completely normal and you should let her and not worry. Whilst some girls like to be around their partners constantly, others like to have their own life and identity outside of the relationship.

    Hmmmm, well, my gf goes out with her friends all the time. But it's not like she doesn't want me to go with her, I'm more than welcome to tag along, but when she has girls nights, it's a girls night, no boys. But if this was to happen on a regular bases, I agree with the previous posters, just ask her about it :-)

    Well it could mean two things either she's don't want you to meet her friends or she just needs some time alone and it's not a big deal it is somewhat normal to feel insecure but the only thin you can do is ask her and be open abou how you feel if it is something that she is Doing now before you take the relationship further she will probably do this if you do go further so if it's something that you don't want for the rest of your life then get ou and don waste your time

    she sounds like a bimbo. I'm guessing she is younger than you. My advice, dump her and find someone who you are on the same page with. It will be better in the long run for the both of you.

  • He never specified any girls night out. For all you know she can be with guys. I say it's normal for her to want to go out alone but you can always go out one time with her and see how it is. If she keeps saying no, I'd start getting doubts.

    Do you really want to join in on her girls night out?

    This is up for debate.
    Some may veiw it as normal, but some may think it's a bit sketchy. But, it is completely normal for you to be unsecured about it.
    I say no, it's kinda weird.
    But that's just me.

    My bf hardly ever drinks so I go out without him the whole time, it would be very dull if we were stuck together the whole time. Not only normal, but ESSENTIAL in my opinion.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. She probably is just trying to catch some time with her lady friend's. But hey, you could alway's come out and ask her. If she ask's why you're asking, just be like, "No reason in particular. I'm just curious..."

    It's normal to feel insecure. As her boyfriend she should want you there dancing with her at least. The fact that she doesn't want you there means either,
    1. She is cheating on you with men at the bar

    Or

    2. She feels suffocated or needs to get away from you for time to herself. If you guys don't fight then refer back to the first one.

    Normal. I love my husband but he's not a drinker either. And he would be anti-social the entire time anywayyy.
