2. Just because I'm coupled up, it doesn't mean that I'm no longer a friend or a family member. I still have a duty to be there for my friends and family, it's unfair to them drop them for ONE person.
3. What if my significant other dumps me or dies? One or the other will happen eventually. Then, I would have no one to turn to, because I abandoned them when we were together.
4. Isn't this a classic warning sign of potential abuse? A boyfriend or girlfriend who wants to isolate you.

I'm amazed how often I see this, and hear other people complain about it.

I love being around my lady friend and vise versa, but then again we only see each other on the weekends because of work and the drive, so maybe that's why we haven't gotten bored with each other.(yet) I get upset when friends get mad at me because I would rather be around her rather than them. When they get mad, I ask "What can you do for me that she can't?" I don't like being around dudes all the time. To me there's nothing like a female companion. Friends are cool to be around, but not like a woman.

Everyone is different though.
