Thiswas quite a few years ago. The problem wasn't either of us getting jealous over the time the other spent with her/his friends. Rather, it was my SO not wanting me to really be friends with any of her friends. These were both male and female, and there was no question of flirting or anything like that. Her attitude was just "Hey, get your own friends" -- indeed, she would sometimes say literally that. To be fair and give you the other side, it's true that I didn't have my own friends. I had moved to live with her, and was more concerned to fit in with her group than to, say, invite people from my job over for dinner. So I was being too much of a lame duck and a tag-along; but even realizing that now I still think she was being too possessive of her friends. -- -- Mitch Marks @ UChicago ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!mmar
