Okay men, how important is it to you for your male friends to like the woman you are dating, engaged or married to? Does is factor in at all?

I'm not sure if it's just me that's noticing the chatter and comments made by guys to other guys about their SO.

I'm noticing, the longer I'm in my current relationship, the less his friends like me (as a person, not in any other way). I'm not rude, I don't monopolies his time, in fact, I'm more than cordial and a good hostess.

I'm wondering if it's this group of guys (some married, other's in relationships, some single), all too old for childish behavior, for sure, that are just missing some etiquette chip.

why would a guy be heavily involved in another guys relationship?

that would be abnormal imo

only time i see it plausible is if a male or female is real close to somebody like best friend or family member in whch they probably respect thst persons opinion

Actually, your friends are a really good litmus test. Hey, your friends shouldn't dictate your life. Far from it. But if your friends seem to be really lukewarm to someone, it might be a bad sign. Because your friends typically want what is best for you.

My friend's opinion over the women I date do matter. Some of the women I've dated in the past were mean to them and insulted them. So, those ladies got the boot. Friends opinions do count.

Why do you think his friends like you less than before?

I get that, it's not okay to be mean, woman or man.

A litmus test to a point. What we require from friends differs greatly than what one requires from dating relationship.

It's mainly one long time friend. It started with telling me to shut up in conversations, rudeness at times. Never being acknowledged, feeling respected. His wife even saying something to him regarding his tone and choice of words.

I didn't understand the depth of it until I notice he'd blocked me on social media, which is so odd because we had mutual friends, but we're not friends on social media. A bit extreme, IMO.

Well, not everyone is going to like you. This seems like a whole LOT of dislike and is strange that no one has addressed it or mentioned why.

Your BF's reaction has been.....?
