Being attached means cannot make friends?

I don't get why people have this mindset whereby if you're attached means you cannot keep in contact with your friend from the opposite gender.

Like why not? Why can't we be friends even though I'm attached? What is wrong with being friends? I believe I have posted about this somewhere. I've even posted as my Facebook status but it was rather a short one.

Seriously, this kind of mindset gotta go. If you cannot make friends/maintain the friendship while being in a relationship, then you should just end the relationship. I see nothing wrong in maintaining friendship or building a new friendship while being in a relationship.

I used to tell my best friend/friend that even when I'm in a relationship, I will not push them away because friends are still important even thou you have a partner. Best friend/friend are there to support you, care for you when you're having a fight with your partner. So don't push them away. Your partner should be supportive of you about having friends instead of making you choose between your friends or him/her.

I will always tell my friends not to push their friends away when they're in a relationship. It's not worth to sacrifice your friendship over relationship. To be honest, your friendship could be longer than your relationship. You would have known your friends first before getting attached to your partner so why would you sacrifice your long time friendship over a relationship? If you were to do that, when your relationship ended, are you going back to your friends and tell them that you're sorry for suddenly cutting contact with them but now that you're back to single, you wanna be friend with them again? How will they think? Some people might be okay with it but some might not.

I dislike it when people say 'but you got boyfriend already?.' I will go like 'being attached doesn't mean cannot make friends ma.''What's wrong with being friends even though I'm attached?' I always feel like my partner should accept me for being able to make friends or keep in contact with my friends. I will support my partner if he make new friends or keep in contact with his friends. After all, it must be fair and square. Cannot be he allow me to make friends and I don't allow him to do that right?

He can make friends with ladies, I don't care. I will support him. I won't get jealous. Get jealous for what? Why so uptight? If your partner allows you to make friends with the opposite gender, then you should allow it also. Making friends it's not gonna harm your relationship. Unless you have other motive while making friends.

Friends are really important. Not just when you're single, it is more important when you're attached. They're the ones whom you can share your stories with, they're the one who will listen to you, encourage you, advice you & be there for you whenever you need a listening ear. Don't push them away. Being a friend, you should always believe when they tell you that they won't push away just because they're attached. Unless you start drifting away from them then don't push the blame on them. You're the one who decided to drift away just because the person is attached. But the person didn't push you away, so it's unfair for the person. Really unfair.

People need to stop saying 'but you're attached already?''Your boyfriend won't jealous ah?''Your boyfriend okay with it right?' If my boyfriend is the kind where he gets jealous easily, I wouldn't have survive in the relationship already. I introduced him to one of my best friend before. I always talked to him about my guy friend, he is definitely okay with it. Nothing wrong. I've told him before that my friends are important to me. So he understands. So if I were to go out with a guy friend, he is okay with it. After all, it's JUST FRIEND. Nothing more than that.

Don't be so protective over your partner. Don't get worked up when your partner tells you that he/she is meeting a friend. Let your partner make friends or at least maintain the friendship that he/she have. Give your partner some personal space, some personal time. Give your partner time to hang out with his/her friend, nothing wrong with that. Don't be selfish.
