When you are all loved up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you often feel like nothing in the world could possibly upset you. However, if your partner is from outside of your usual group of friends, you then need to try to find a way to introduce the two. If everyone gets on that’s great but if your partner does not like your friends or vice versa, you are the one stuck in the middle. So what do you do,
Well, this really depends on whether or not your friends or partner are putting pressure on you. Do you feel as though you are being made to choose between your friends and your boyfriend, Have you told them this is how they are making you feel, Perhaps they did not realise how difficult this is for you.
The thing is, your partner and your friends are both really important relationships to you and you should be equally important to them. When someone really cares about you, they should not be putting you in such a difficult position. Try to talk to them about it and see if you can reach a compromise. After all, while you may want your friends and your partner to hang out together, this does not have to be the case. Maybe you can find a way to spend quality time with both, separately.
If, however, you are being pressured to choose you really must think about how much this person cares about you. If someone really loves and respects another, they would not put them in that position. If you decide to make the choice then that is a decision you must be certain of as your friend may not be so forgiving if the relationship breaks up down the line and similarly your partner may not want to take you back if you realise you have made a mistake.
