What You Do And Don’t Need To Agree On In A Relationship

You DON’T need to agree on…

The nature of friendships

For the most part, men and women do friendships differently. Men can compartmentalize friendships. Your partner can have a friend who is a total douchebag to women, but he is the friend that your man always goes to Lakers games with, and the two never hang out around women so to your boyfriend, it doesn’t matter. Women can’t really do that. They prefer their friends more well rounded. They like to have mostly similar values and perspectives on most things with their girlfriends, regardless of what activities they partake in with that girlfriend. As tough as it is, you can’t harass or criticize your boyfriend about his douchebag friend. Going to Lakers games, playing video games, going out for rounds of golf—whatever the two do together—makes him happy. And the fact that that friend isn’t the best of people doesn’t technically affect your relationship.
