Significant other or friends?

[Mojotronica]

Which is more important to you? Would you NEVER dog your friends for a significant other? Or is your Relationship more important than any of your friendships..?

What happens if you are dying to have a friend become a significant other? It's quite the pickle.

I would choose friends. Much more stable commodity IMHO.

All my significant others have been friends, or friends of other friends. So the question has never come up.

IF you've chosen correctly, it's a no brainer, significant other.

Your friends are idiots.

My sig/other happens to also be my best freind, no doubt about it. The truth is, I've never been in that dilema, and I hope I never am. Having to choose would really make me angry, as only some kind of ridiculous triviality would force me into that senario. In that case, I would have to pick whichever of the two parties were being reasonable, and if BOTH my friends and my sig/other were guilty of such pettiness, thus forcing me to choose between them: I'm moving to another state!

Friends...it takes a lot less to lose a significant other than it does a friend--they are far more loyal. You should return the favor.

For a bloke like me;
True friends are not replaceable. A girlfriend is.

(most women merely try to christianise you, anyway)

My spouse is also my best friend. I'm lucky that way.

I would hope that none of my friends, including him, would ever make me choose among them. If one of them did force me into that choice, then I guess the choice would have to be against that one.

Does that make sense?

 

[Pillager]

Significant other, of course. She should, and does, become miles before any friends.

 

[Ohwell]

I never had a significant other so I would not know.

 

[kring]

My wife would come before my friends.

My girlfriend has shown me more loyalty than all of my friends put together.

Once you've found the right person of course, but hey, that's what we should all be seeking.

Well, depends on how deep me and the significant other are. If it's like engaged or married, then proboly the significant other. Otherwise, friends are first.

Ideally, a significant other. But actually, my friends. I lack the former right now...*sniff sniff*

 

[napoleon526]

I don't have either.

 

[Silverflame]

I guess friends, since they are harder to replace I guess...

I have no significant other, and never shall. So one will go for mates.

 

[Grisu]

If you chose wisely (like I did ), your significant other should also be your best friend, so the question answers itself

 

[Phantom Lord]

In my experience the significant other will lose the race - if the friends are real friends. Not neccessarily because you're more loyal to your friends, there are possibilities to avoid a conflict between them, but because your friends mirror your own interests and way of life. So if your significant other has a problem with your friends, she/he probably has a problem with you.

I dog my friends for my wife all the time. I tell her and them as much. As many have said before, it is a no brainer. I would rather have lunch with her in our crappy cafeteria then go to a nice place with them. Better still would be for all of us to go to the nice place, but sometimes that isn't an option.
