The entire time I was reading the article, I kept thinking, "Honey, you need a sorority initiation!"

I totally agree!! It's ridiculous trying to explain to my boyfriend why I feel the need to spend time with my girlfriends on an equal basis with the time I spend with him. I live with him, and when I went out of town for a week, we were really excited to see each other and spend time together when I got back, of course. But then, 4 days after my return, my friend wanted me to go out with her and spend time with our friends. My boyfriend got all pouty because it was the first wekend I'd been back, and I didn't want to spend it at the bar with him. Sometimes, I just wanna give up trying to expalin that my friends were there before he was, and will be there again if he's ever gone. They are just as important as he is.
