Can you and your partner have the same level of commitment, but go about it differently? My boyfriend doesn’t want friends that are girls while in a relationship with me, and wouldn’t want to go out with any guy friends because he believes going out is not appropriate if you’re in a relationship. That’s his belief not mine. I have no problem with it if that’s his ideology but he’s implementing it on me. I have no problem with going out with friends if you respect your partner in the process. He thinks we don’t have the same level of commitment but I think he’s dead wrong.
