I'm a firm believer that guys may come and go, but your best friends will always be there. Let me just repeat my own experience: it was with my first love. I ditched all my friends to be with him. My life revolved around him. It was truly pathetic. When we broke up, no one was there. My 2 best friends came back, of course, but I did have to apologize and put up with some guilt.
Now, with Mr. ChiOJenn, I am all about having my own life. We have our own set of friends-but are cool with each others as well-and we do our own thing, as well as have couple time. I want to go to happy hour with the girls? No problem-I go. He wants to go out with his guy friends? Works for me. And of course, we have our "couple time" as well. I would never go back to the idiot I was being back then.
So, I'm a big advocate for people having thier own lives.
