Sometimes, the integration of your boyfriend between your friendships comes naturally and occurs spontaneously, as a result of common interests, similar ways of having fun or other factors. But there are other times when, for various reasons, the process of being able to share with your loved one the frequent company of our friends It can become more difficult: either because we have focused too much on each other, or because in principle we may have different styles, or because in the 'negotiations' of how or where to spend our free time, only one criterion always prevails.

For a harmonious and long-lasting relationship, in addition to stability and mutual support, it is important to achieve a balance in social life We will give you some guidelines to help you face this situation.

  • Go little by little The important thing is not to pressure him or force him to meet all of your friends at once, or to take him to an all-friends meeting. Start by introducing him to some of the friends with whom he may have the most affinity in situations that are comfortable for him and where he won't feel pressured by the situation.

  • Create common bonds. If it is the case that you have been very focused on each other, propose to open up to new fun plans with some of your friends and some of theirs, to create relaxed spaces where the people closest and dearest to you can meet: a barbecue, go out to eat or take a walk for the day, making a set of about four or five people, in anfun environment where they are relaxed and willing to share and have a good time with each other.

  • Reciprocity If he has already taken the first step of accompanying you to an outing with your friends, show yourself open to do the same with his group, or to invite some of his friends to a plan, so that he feels that this openness is reciprocal and that it broadens the basis of trust.
  • Don't try to change their preferences The goal is to show him that getting to know your friends more closely is important to you, and not an imposition or an obligation for which he has to give up his interests. The idea is to integrate into each other's lives and share those spaces, but if he doesn't feel comfortable, you have to be patient and give him time.

  • Find a middle ground Although it is very legitimate that you want him to share with your group of friends, it is good to realize that it is not necessary that he goes with you 100% of the time that you get together with them, since it is also a work of maturity on your part to know how to maintain your independence and your own spaces, as well as to respect theirs.
