Long story short, I don't have any close friends any more, but I do have a great bf. Is it ok to not have any girl friends?

i am in the same boat. i still haev friends but they are all doing their own thing all the time to. and only can catch up with them once a month maybe! my great BF still see's his friends a lot ( even tho he says it is not much) and i feel kind of left out, i dont feel as if i should need to go hunting for soemthing to do when he is out with his mates but i get so bored! and as i said my mates are always usually busy... and if i do get the chance to catch up with them i have the Bf msgin me the whoel night 'checking up on me' but pretending he is not.... so i think it is part of growing up, because i do see with my other friends they dotn have much time for their old mates, but they spend a lot of time with new ppl they net through the relationship (wish i liked my Bf's mate sand their girlfriends, but i just dont!) so as long as your time is not spent on worrying about him and only him i think it is normal! i hope..

For now. He will have guy friends he will want to get out with to shoot the bull, talk about woman, and just be men. You will want that. Someone who knows what it's like to go through what women go through. Maybe a shopping buddy and before you say it even if your not the type to shop there are times you will just want to go out and he wont. So later as when you feel more in control and would like one then look for a friend you can share thoughts with.

the fact that u asked this question, i can guess you are seeing something missing in your life. you used to have close friends and not anymore. A boyfriend shouldnt be everything in one's life, not even a husband can be. No one man can ever satisfy all of a woman's need, people need to have friends, guy and girl friends, it's all about the balance. If you have that balance, life can be a lot easier in the long run. you need to have your own circle of friends as your support system. nobody is perfect, your bf is no exception, someday, you will need to fall back on your friends. Dont let him think he is all you have, get out there build some friendships!

As long as you are ok with it. I personally think having friends other than my s/o is a good thing, but what ever works for you. Spending most of your time with your s/o is good, but if you give all of your other friends up .. what happens if something should ever happen between you and your bf? You will not have anyone to fall back on or support you....just something to consider.

Let's put it the other way round.....how do you feel? Whatever you feel matters more than my opinion.....

as long as you're happy, it shouldn't matter; who and how many friends you have, just as long as you have someone.
