Ponungalungb agony auntIf he wants to be with his friends on every other weekend, he's not ready to commit to a relationship. He wants his cake and wants to eat it too.

Is it O.K. for you to go out with your friends too? Or are you expected to stay at home and wait at his beck and call.

If you love someone enough to be in a committed relationship, you want to be with them. It's that simple.

If he says "Too bad", I'd say "Too bad for you. I'm going out with my friends too." What's good for the goose is good for the gander. But not good for a committed relationship.

Good luck.

2old4this agony auntWell, don't get married yet until you figure out the issues that you have, or at least work on them. When you get married you have to compromise on things. Both of you do. If at the end of the day you can't live with the way it is and he wont budge on the issues then maybe it's time to move on. You have to trust each other for it to work. And you have to do what is best for you.

In my opinion i believe a relationship is built on trust and you need to trust your partner in order for them to trust you. trust works both ways. You can still be committed into a relationship and go out and have fun with your friends. If the reason why you cant go out is because you dont trust each other you need to start trusting each other i suggest go out with him and your frinds and thier partners so he can see what your like when your out. Also trust doesnt come back over night it comes gradually.
