Guys, who would you hang with?

No problem with it whatsoever.
To be honest, I need my own time as well. I like seeing my friends without my boyfriend there, and I assume that guys like the same thing. You said there's nothing more annoying that a guy bringing his girl on a guys night out.... it's more annoying when a girl brings her man on a girls' night out, trust me.
All you want to do is talk about shoes, bitch about other women and about what your boyfriend isn't doing right, and then you get some bloke sitting there like a lemon

I would worry if he went on a 'lad's holiday' or if he was out clubbing all the time though, but a lot of that stuff depends on what kind of friends he has as well.
I've never had a problem with my boyfriends watching football because I'm usually more into it than they are. I had to drag my ex to matches actually, haha.

 

I think it's healthy for couples to have their own time. Maybe she wants to go shopping, clean the house in peace, or have a drink with the girls. Maybe he wants to play ball, watch the game with his buddies, or play video games. Whatever. I'd sure be excited to come home to my man, as well, though.

 

LOL. We have a girls' night out once a month. The first rule is NO MEN OR CHILDREN! So far, so good.

 

yeah right.

"hey, love, i'm going to cheat on you next friday at 10 pm"

 

Is that your lady in your avatar?

 

I've been the GF that was brought to the sports parties knowing that the guys weren't that crazy about me being there at first. I would try to make excuses not to go, but my BF at the time would insist on it because he knew that I liked to watch the basketball games. I ended up going and just tried to keep a low profile and only comment on the game if I really had something to say about stats or players. I also would leave as soon as the game was over so that the guys could do their thing. What ended up happening was that his boys ended up calling and asking me to come to watch the games with them. One time they called me before they called my BF. I think that he was a little upset over it. LOL

I'm a very independent person, and I want my man to be too. I firmly believe that you don't lose your own individual identity just because you become a couple. I enjoy my shopping trips, spa days, and 'me' time at home. I also enjoy having the opportunity to miss him and to long for him. It makes me so much more grateful for him when we are together again.

My girl friends and I are experiencing the reverse problem with one of our friend's husbands. He has started making comments about not being part of the 'in crowd' with our female group. He was recently upset over not being invited to a Pampered Chef party and shopping afterwards. One time when he was with us, we did make a mall stop when we were coming back from somewhere. He complained the whole time and kept asking when we were going to leave. So, I don't understand his desire to be invited to such functions. We only get together about once a month so it's not like we are taking her away from him on a regular basis. Any opinions as to why he would feel this way.

 

Hahaha.
"Okay baby! Use a condom! Be back in time for breakfast."

 

No Men on girls night, that should be a standard rule throughout the nations, some guy sitting there like a muppet with a beady eye on all proceedings, is no bloody fun at all.

A man should have the same rights also, I don't want a guy stuck permanently up my arse, we all have things to do without our partners, Don't we? and if you don't ? whats wrong with you?

 

I know, right?
Even in the initial can't-get-enough-of-each-other first stages of a relationship, I still need my time away from him.
I don't understand those couples that just NEED to be around each other all the time. My friend was like that with her boyfriend at first, he came EVERYWHERE when we went out, so the rest of us just started choosing places we knew he'd hate, hahaha. It was so annoying though, dude went to the bathroom with her and waited outside for her. I know I'm not the most romantic person in the world but SURELY that's too far!
