No one cares if she has friends. I actually think family relationships is very important.
I certainly don't want to isolate anyone from that. I actually want to encourage it.
As for the friends thing though, it must be kept in check.
If you and your wife had a long and extremely personal family discussion... What would you feel like if she went out and blabbed all of your deeply held personal feelings to her group of friends? What if its something that you don't want or feel that she should share with others?
That represents the kind of limits on friends I am talking about.
If we are going to have that relationship then she has to respect that relationship. Its not just her...its both.
She would feel just as bad if I went out and told all the guys on a construction site about ALL of the details of what we did in bed. That would be equally bad.
Secondly, on the limits to friends, I have met many girls who can't make a choice or decision one without consulting her friends. Why? Why can't they think for themselves?
I watched that show Cupid on TV and it was extremely wrong IMO. If she has to ask her friends if she should like me or not, then she's not the one.
I like women who have their own minds. Thats not saying ALL the time, because no one can do everything without advice...but some take that advice gathering to extremes.
Thats the stuff I don't like.
