Balancing friends and girlfriend?

i've found myself struggling to make both ends happy. my friends give me a hard time coz i'm always with my g/f. my g/f does the same coz she feels i hang out with my friends too much. in short, if i were to split up days of the week between the two, my g/f gets 4 and my friends get 3 on average i would say. i think that's fair. i also think having a good balance of time between friends and g/f is healthy. i can't satisfy both. i like having both but i feel like i'm alienating soem of my friends and not paying enough attention to my g/f. help!

Determine what's more important to you, your friends or your girlfriend. If you're a teenager, you're too young to have a serious relationship for the reason that you feel you can't be with your friends. If you can't hang out together, then you'll have to chose.

make it clear to both your girlfriend and your friends that you are A) only one person, and B) doing your very best not to leave anyone in a lurch. explain to your girlfriend that it is important that you both remain individuals, and that it's important to spend time with your friends. you want her to hang with her girls, and you want to hang with your guys--guilt free. explain to your buddies that you need to have time with your girlfriend, but will make sure to continue to spend time with them. your "time split" is great--but where is the time for just YOU?

this is something you have to deal with as you get older, and it will certainly be an eye-opener, and show you who your true friends are--the ones who accept that you have to share your time with someone else vs. the ones who constantly give you crap about it. those are generally the people who are relationship-less, and don't get it. they're not worth your time if they can't be happy for you, and accept that they have to share.

people grow up, they get relationships, and pair off, and have to adjust their time accordingly. keep doing what you're doing, and let the rest fall into place. the good friends will stick around, and be happy to see you whenever they get the chance. the rest will fall away, and there's nothing you can do about it, sadly.

good luck!
