Re: Leaving Behind Old Relationships…
This is is a very valid point. My husband never asked me to defriend or stop talking to anyone after marriage, either guy or girl, because he knew he didn’t have a reason to make any such request. As far as phone numbers go, my first cell phone was given to me by him anyway, after our baat pakki, so it was in his plan anyway lol.
There red is only one person who I ended a friendship with when my husband and I got engaged and that person was a mutual friend of ours with whom I had a past history (all known to him btw). He still didn’t ask me to, I did on my own volition and he also discontinued his friendship with this person to make it less awkward on me.
It’s all about mutual respect and comfort level. Marriage is all about compromise, and sometime you do have to do things to appease the other, evening you yourself don’t see anything wrong with it. As long as the spouse isn’t being overly sensitive and suspicious, and isn’t asking you to completely bail on every friend and erase your whole life, I say look at the greater good.
