If my S/O is the best thing to happen to me since cake, then my S/O comes first. If not, sorry, honey.

I can share time with both my friends and S/O and I usually introduce my S/O to my friends so we can all spend time together but obvioulsy would spend more time with my S/O.

Consider it done my dear ;)

i think your parter should come befor the friends

I agree. Your significant other should come before your friends, although your friends should have a place in your life as well.

If your friends are true, they will always be there for you. In fact, they would be happy for you.

If it's not the ideal situation with the significant other, at least you won't have to deal with all of the emotional damage/baggage of not putting them first (friends).

i believe family first, then friends, isnt that how its supposed to be

You answered your own question. "Significant Other"

If he is really significant, then he will come before your other friends, only because he should be your best friend and as everyone knows, nothing should come before you and your "best friend"

But what if he's "other"?!

Love me, love my horse too. If someone told you, I love you but if you want to be with me, the horse has got to go, would you say goodbye to your equine friend? Why should your human friends be any less important than a beloved horse. They have value, and meaning, and cannot just be used as pawns in an ultimatum. So the horse and the friends stay.

What a sweetie pie!!!

I dont think I could really categorize that way. Friendships, lovers , and spouses, are all very different relationships serving different purposes in my life. I think someone I was just dating would have my complete attention when it was their TIME to have my attention and otherwise life would go as usual with my friends. I think in a marriage, my friends would know that my spouse is my other half and therefore could never be less important than they are anymore than I would be less important than they are. (my family) has to come first and they would respect that being my friends.

Been there, done that. Had that happen before with all of the animals. The animals stay, he goes. Which is why I loathe ultimatums.

But my comment was more tongue in cheek about the "significant" in significant other. So if they were "other" what would that do?

My friends nor my significant other could ever give me an ultimatum or they would be gone. IF, on the other hand, they approached me respectfully with concerns, ,,I would speak to my friends about it and (in a marriage situation)if friends couldnt respect my choice they would have to go.

I know, thought you might enjoy the horse example. It seems to make sense put that way.

WELL,,to be REAL with MOST guys thinking..


HE,,,,SHOULD COME FIRST..





NOW ME,,,,SHE SHOULD COME FIRST!!!!
