Do you never let your partner stay with her or his online friends?

I think it is healthy and important for people to enjoy time away with their friends. If you spend too much time with your 'lover' then you may get on age. It is good to spend time away. I think this is fine and even should be encouraged for both people in the relationship.

I dont have a partner but i just want to say that sounds very scary to me going to met someone ive met online. I guess a group meeting like the one you are talking about sounds less scary. Why didnt you go with her.

When my husband and I visit online friends, we do it together. I would not want it any other way. Our schedules permit it, however, and yours may not.

Oldsix691418, For a start, I do not think her friends are mere online acquaintances which can be unreliable and even dangerous. I am anticipating that they are either related to certain real life friends or some established and reliable tour groups. I understand your concern and I believe that is being communicated to your wife as well. Otherwise, I do not think you would even let her leave the house when you know that the other side is one which is unreliable and potentially dangerous. I am sure in China, you all have your own social networking sites like QQspace, Weibo and etc., where I believe all of you can find childhood friends, primary school or high school or university classmates to network with. So, I am anticipating that your wife has done her homework here.

my wife and i have almost the same online friends. but being online is not the usual thing for her. when she's online, she usually play games only. i would allow my wife to meet her online friends provided that she will also allow my to come with her.

Why not? They are friends after all, and it's good to know more friends. Purpose of looking for friends online, is to widen our social circle. Isn't it better when we are able to it into the real world? INternet is just a platform for us to reach out to others, promote ourself to people. AT the end of it, real friends are those who contact offline, not online.

I don't have a partner but I myself have went and met some of my online friends from mylot...it was fun to put a face to the name and to the discussions...I don't think it would bother me if I did have a partner though..depending on what kind of website they had met on!

most of my wife's online friends are her true friends. friends from school days, high school and college. some friends are her friends when she was still working so if they go out i dont have to worry on anything for all this friends of her... i know them. i am not sure about online friends. i might not let her go out with them alone. i might go with them or i will let her bring another friend along. there are so many things happens to people when they go out with people they meet online, it is better to take care of ourselves and the people we love. there is a latest news in the US where a beautiful lady went on a date with a person she met online and now the beautiful lady had disappeared. things like this happens so we need to take precautions regarding going with people we hardly know.

I don't see a problem with that at all, providing she took precautions to be safe. I hope she had a great time.

Hi there, I have a really trusting relationship with my boyfriend. Usually when he has gatherings with old school friends he always asks me to come with him, as I do as well. If ever there was a time where he says he is going out with friends without me, I don't think I would have an issue with that. Simply because prior to going out with anyone, I am sure he has already discussed with me who they are and where they would be going. As for overnight neither one of us has to date done this with friends and or online friends, so not sure but again, I do feel I trust his judgement where I can safely assure he would not be doing anything wrong. Recently he was asked during our vacation, to his hometown, to go to on an overnight outing with old college friends. Being that I was there he declined saying he would not leave me during our vacation.

I think that my husband and I would have the same understanding. That neither of us would go and stay with friends we may have met online. Not that we are controling or anything but after all we need to be cautious about these types of things. We may have learned a lot about them online but that's just it, it's online. So no I wouldn't let him stay somewhere with friends online and neither would he let me. By the way what does Avant-garde mean? And did you have a problem with her staying with her friends?

your wife is very crazy,I don't like this kind woman,sometime your wife set off to somewhere many day,what about your children,who care about them. very surprise

SOrry but I won't and even if I let him to, I know that he won't as well. We are very attached with each other and we don't stay out with friends overnight. I think that if you trust her and you know that she is safe, then I don't think it will be a problem. My husband is a bit protective and I know he won't allow me too. He also don't allow my friends to come over when he is not home because he don't want me to get tired preparing food and serving them. It is good that you trust your partner in going out and staying with friends. But try to put her a limit too and tell her how you feel if she do it a lot.

No I don't think I would. My partner does not have any friends online so I would not be worried about that. I do feel that it is a bit weird to meet people online. Most of the time they carry a personality that's actually completely different than who they really are outside of the online world. So I think it's quite dangerous meeting someone you don't barely know a bit about.

My husband and I do not do things like that. We like to stay with one another. We do not want to go out and spend time with someone else really.
