| Would you give up your groups for a relationship or a significant other that did not understand the friendships you have there? You would still have yahoo and stuff but no groups........would you or could you make that sacrifice? |

Would you give up the friends you hang with, talk to on the phone all the time? The friends you've had in your life before you joined the group? Your really close friends that he can meet face-to-face? I think that would amount to the same. Why doesn't he understand your on-line friends? Doesn't he try to understand it? Just some questions to ask yourself & him. Why does he feel threatened by us? I don't think I'd give him up if I really cared or loved him but I'd try my damnest to make him understand the bond I've formed & find out his reason why he wanted me to give them up. |

If it was that big of an issue...yes, I would. I doubt that I would be with someone that shallow, tho. |

I have mixed feelings but the stronger feeling is this... I came with the family and friends that I have... I believe I have great friends, on line and in person... I would accept his friends and expect him to accept mine... Time can be made for our time, my time/his time, friend time and family time!!! Life and love is about compromise and understanding, among other things... I gave up a g/f for a man once... He was gone, and she was gone, luckily she found me on MySpace and is back... I don't think it's right to be asked to give up things or people that are important to you, for either to ask that of the other... But as in so many things, perhaps there is always that exception to the rule? I just think it's asking a lot for a group... I'm using NS as mine for me... It means so much and runs so deep I can't see me doing it!!! |

Lisa~ I'm with Prinny on this one. We come into relationships with friends & family. The fact that some of your friends are online doesn't make them any less important in your life than if they were there in front of you. Wanting to continue talking to them in the context of the way you got to know them in the first place, a place you feel comfortable & at home, should not make any difference to him. If he has a problem with the drama & the bickering that sometimes arrises within groups, then he hasn't seen life as it really is. Look around at work., there are people there you could slap into next week for silly stuff if you could, but you learn to deal with it & move on. As long as your online life & the amount of time you spend here does not take away from your time together, he should ease up. Love ya, Di |
