Anyways, I'm in a long distance relationship, and my boyfriend and I often have to find activites to keep us entertained when the other isn't around. Now, I have a list of goals to do before I die, and riding on a motorcycle happens to be one of them. I have no intention of drivng one myself or ever owning one... just want to ride on it. My boss at my old work, when she found this out, told me that next time her SO stopped by work with his motorcycle that he would take me for a ride on it. So, the whole issue of a girl on the back of another guys motorcycle... Yes, it could mean more. But really, if you believe that she was being innocent, then let it go. Who cares what other people think as long as you and her are on the same page about being faithful? Personally, I'd be really upset if my boyfriend started telling me things I should and shouldn't do, just as I'd expect him to be upset if I told him what to do (as long as these things dont hurt or offend the other). He's going to go to parties, I'm going to go to clubs. He's going to go do whatever, I'm going to go ride on a motorcycle.
Also along the lines of a long distance relationshp, (which I understand you're not in), my boyfriend and I had to learn to trust each others judgements. About everything really, but especially about friends. Let her know that you'd like to hang out with these people with her. Dont make it sound lke youre going to interogate these people (you trust her, remember?). You just want to see this part of your fiancee's life, that's all.
To me, it sounds lke youre a little jealous cause you dont get to see your fiancee as much as you would like to. You might want to think about that, and talk to her about it. Perhaps you need to have weekly date, no ifs ands or buts. Just something little that you guys can do every week -- take out and a movie on TV.
I hope you can figure out your insecurities and the root of them. That way you can nip these troubles in the bud.
Best of luck,

Hi Ro,
I do appreciate your reply. Apparently, your age has nothing to do with how you're able to answer me. You did a pretty awesome job.
Now, I just want to explain a bit more about her and I: She's a free soul, as we all are here in the good old US of A - I have no intention on telling her what she can and cannot do. I want her to be herself. That's who I fell in love with to begin with, y'know?
She and I do live together and our relationship is very close. We DO spend plenty of time together, usually. It just seemed to me that her 4 days off she gets every week would be enough to squeeze me into her life, somewhere.
We did sit down and have a chat about why I felt the way I felt.. and the fact that she was so pre-occupied with everyone else that she's recently met and very interested in spending time with them - that our usual time together was seemingly not so important this week to her.
I dunno though, Like I said, I may have been jumping the gun a bit. Though, I believe there are certain activities that a couple just shouldn't engage in when they're not together.
Like, for example - Given that I still had my motorcycle - I wouldn't take another girl out for a bike ride. That's just bad business.
Another example - I wouldn't hug and accept gifts from a mental patient in a state run facility and text them on my cell phone and call them when it could potentially be against many different HIPPA laws as well as cost me my job and possibly prison time... She on the other hand, did these things and saw absolutely nothing wrong with them.
It doesn't truly matter though, not anymore. But thanks again for your reply!!
