I'm sorry I didn't see this and respond before now.

I'm thinking back to the time I was your age and dating my boyfriend who I thought the sun rose and set on. Evidently he felt the same way about me. In the beginning, we only had time for the two of us, shunning our friends and just being together.

Soon, it became obvious to us that we both missed our friends and wanted to spend some time with them. It was awkward in the beginning....when we were away from each other we wanted to be together or to at least know what the other was doing and with whom.

It made for some difficult times when we were spending separate time away from each other with our friends in the beginning. But soon, we learned to trust one another and it really worked to our advantage. It gave us time to be with our friends and when we did spend time together, we had much more fun and much more to talk about with one another. Some of our friends ended up meeting the others' friends and we became a group of friends too....that was pretty cool.

I think it's important to feel comfy in our relationships. If we have some self esteem, if we have some trust and if we have some understanding that we are social people who need our friends as well as the ones we love in our lives, things can really be ok!

Wishing you well hon.
