answer:Wow, it sounds like you have a lot of people telling you how to run your relationship. Can I ask how old you are and also, where do you want this relationship to go? Are you happy with your relationship with your boyfriend (if you take out all the criticism from your friends)? Is he happy with your relationship? That’s what really counts. Not what your friends think you should be doing or how often they think you should be seeing him? If it is working for you and him, that’s what really matters here. Everyone is different. Some people want to spend every waking moment together (not necessarily healthy to me but if it works for them), Other people like to meet up a couple of times a week and have plenty of time with their mates. Who is right or wrong? Neither. If it is right for them, then it is right. There are no rules about how often you should see each other. In terms of friends you don’t like of his and vice versa. You can’t choose or change his friends. So, if you don’t hit it off, staying away from them is probably a good plan. I don’t feel you are being a pushover. Do you? If you don’t and you like how things are, ignore your friends. Keep doing what you are doing. If on the other hand you really want to spend more time with him but don’t want to tell him that and upset the apple cart, then you need to be honest with yourself and him about that. A good discussion and finding some middle ground is probably in order. If this is what is stressing you and bringing you down, I hope you get it resolved soon. We all go through these types of tug-of-war things in life at some time. Listen to your instincts and don’t be so hard on yourself.
