i was just thinking today as my FI is out to dinner with some friends...

.. do you wanna get along with FI/DH's friends... does he get along with yours?

why or why not?

iamjoesgurl · June 2011

DH's friends live kind of far from here but whenever I've been around them we've gotten along fine. His cousin (who is married to my best college friend, by the way) is another story. We don't get along at all.

He doesn't really like my friend (married to his cousin) but seems to get along with everyone else okay. Since our whole dating relationship was long distance, we haven't spent a lot of time around each other's friends.

FI and I have mostly all mutual friends. There are a few of my female friends that he doesn't care for, but there are also a few of his guy friends that I could definitely live without

FI and I have mutual friends. They're mostly his friends from college but we all get along well. I have a handful of girls that I'm friends with that FI is pretty indifferent to. I rarely see those girls though-- some live in CO, PA, NC, etc. That being said, I've never had many girl friends-- I get along much better with guys.

I LOVE FI's friends. They are so much fun. We both really get along with each other's friends. We are very social people and spend a lot of time with all the people we love, so we're around our friends all the time. I actually just said to him on thursday after we saw a bunch of his friends that we are so blessed to have such amazing/loving supportive friends and family.

I get along fine with FI's friends and vice versa. I am still the new girl where I live (moved 3 hours from home to be closer to FI and haven't made any real new friends)

My "close" friends don't live in the same state as us and the distance is putting a strain on our friendship. I have been praying for guidance but it seems like I am doing all the effort and the friends aren't responding.

I didn't mean to put a damper on the thread

well this is complicated. FI doesn't have many friends, and the new ones he is making he's kinda keeping me away from them. IDK if it's because he doesn't want me to meet them and then not approve or what.

I DO get along with the friends that I HAVE met though. Like the GM and some others.

Take for example yesterday. FI came over to borrow our camper because he is camping this weekend. He brought with him 3 friends, one I had met before and 2 I had never seen. He didn't introduce me to them or anything. It made me wonder.

I get along really well with FI's friends. A few of them I've known longer than I've known FI, I met FI through one of his best friends. I don't however get along with his best friends wife/girlfriend because they are very different than me, and have been best friends for years so they're pretty cliquish. My FI would like nothing more than for me to end up their best friends so that we would all hang out together all the time.

FI tends to like almost everyone he meets. Literally to the point that he can talk to someone for 5 minutes and call them his friend. Therefore he gets along really well with my friends. Unfortunately I don't make girl friends very easily so the ones that I do have seem to be scattered all over the place so we don't see them much.

It's nice because we can always hang out with friends and not have to worry about the other person.

FI has a few friends, and he gets along well with my friends (expecially one of my friend's husband)

</div><div>sprty- I'm sorry that you are struggling with being the new girl and being far from your friends. I will say a prayer that it all works out... It will! </div><div>

</div><div>I get along with FI's friends fine and he gets along with mine. There are some of his that I like better than others, and I'm sure he probably feels the same about mine, but it seems like everyone likes everyone. Lately we have been making new friends together and hanging out with people in our stage of life/beliefs/etc, so in those cases it's more like mutual friends. </div>

ravenray · June 2011

We both get along well with our other friends. I have a few friends of his that I don't like/ don't get along with. And he has a few of my friends who he doesn't get along with. I wish I got along with all of his friends, but I don't and there is nothing I can do about it. Sometimes you just don't like people.
Drama- Why doesn't he introduce you? That kind of bothered me when I read that. Have you ever talked to him about that?

<div>This would hurt me. Did you talk to him about this? </div>

sessionswedding · June 2011

Well FI and I met BECAUSE we were two members of the same circle of friends. So 95% of our friends are mutual anyway.

I will when he comes back from camping. It made me feel like he didn't care, which I know isn't true, but it still did.

DH's friends are now my friends and my friends are now his friends for the most part. We usually hang out with other couples or as a big group. I love most of his friends and love that I got to meet a great group of new people when DH entered my life. The best part is I'm good friends with a lot of his friend's wives/fiancees/girlfriends and I love those girls!

My best friend (my MOH) actually introduced us a few summers ago while we were all out one night because she had been friends with him and known him since they were young. I love that she loves us both and they're two of my favorite people!

BronwynH · June 2011

My FI and I have mostly mutual friends from high school. There's a few people each of us has become friends with this year at college, but we're not close to them. My FI's best friend (and BM) and I have an interesting relationship. We sort of dated a couple years ago, but when we're around each other too much we get on each other's nerves. We both were missionary interns in Guatemala last summer. So the first 2 months I was dating FI, I was thousands of miles away from him, but me and his best friend were together. It was kind of funny. But we get along together well.

Same! I easily have more male friends than female.
