When you start a new love story, you usually tend to prefer spending time with your partner. You can also ignore friends. Splitting time between girlfriends and friends can be difficult.
Of course, this condition can make your friends complain because it is difficult to meet you. Not infrequently, your relationship can also stay away. In order to avoid this conflict, let's take a look at reviews on how to balance time between your partner and your friends.
Tips for dividing time between girlfriends and friends
1. Start selecting priorities
The phenomenon of losing friends by choosing a partner is common. However, you certainly don't want this to happen to you, do you?
To keep your boyfriend and friend in balance, try to start setting priorities.
First of all, maybe you can start making a schedule. For example, in one month you will spend time with your friends at least twice on weekends.
The rest, you can fill it with dating your partner or taking a break. If at the same time, your partner and friend made an appointment, try to see which one invited you first and on the agenda.
For example, on a Sunday, your partner invites you to dinner with his family and at the same time your friend asks you to go out to watch.
In this case, maybe you can make your partner a priority because dinner with his family is quite an important moment.
Sounds easy, but hard to do because sometimes bad feelings arise when making decisions. Therefore, you have to be firm with yourself. Which one should be prioritized based on time and reason.
2. Invite your partner to play together
Including your girlfriend to play with your friends is not a bad choice. In addition to introducing your friends and friends, your partner can also expand the connection.
This can be done when you are planning to go on a weekend vacation. If it feels lonely with just the two of you, it can also be done with your friends, as long as your partner agrees.
You can also invite your partner when your friend is having a birthday or wedding party. Get him into your social circle so that he can get to know you better too.
3. Schedule activities that can be done together
According to the American Psychological Association, one of the characteristics of a healthy relationship is mutual respect for each other's privacy. Just because you are in a relationship, doesn't mean you two have to do it all together.
The two of you certainly had a life of your own, even before the two of you knew each other. If either of you can't live up to that privacy, it can be difficult to build a healthy relationship.
Respecting that privacy can be done by allowing you to meet your friends (and vice versa). After that, you may be able to go out with your partner.
It's true, if done too often this can be very tiring. That's why, try wisely and come back, set your priorities.
Sharing time with girlfriends and friends is one of the challenges that you must overcome when in a relationship. However, in the midst of that difficulty, maybe some of your friends understand that your priorities are now changing.
