I go with the plans I made first. If I promised my man I’m hanging out with him I’ll say no to my friends and if I made plans with friends I’m saying no to my man

Cancelling plans requires so much nuance. Like if my BF was supposed to go to the movie with me but his friend is broke down on the side of the road I’d expect him to go help his friend. If he and his friends were supposed to game all night but I get news of a family emergency I would expect him to be there for me. If a once on a blue moon event suddenly becomes available on our regularly scheduled date night it’s not an issue for him to want to go to that instead. Life if a juggling act, and sometimes you’re going to drop the ball. You just have to know which ones are glass and will shatter, and which ones a rubber and will bounce.

Your take is spot on!!! Friends over romance any day. Romance is so fleeting

I think it really does depend sometimes. Not saying that you’re wrong, there’s just more to add. My relationship will always come first. If my partner needs something, I will drop everything to help in whatever way. When it comes to my friends, I am not in a long term relationship. I’m not marrying them, I’m not joining finances or responsibilities with them. If my friends want to hang out, 100% I’m not going to cancel, but I will always be on standby for my partner. I also don’t think my partner and my friends should be at a competition for my attention. But also if my friends don’t reach out that often, then my partner will be my priority. Maybe I’m personally just thinking into too much, but again, I don’t want the people closest to me to make it a competition on who’s more important to me.

It depends. If it’s consistently blowing off your friends then yes. But if it’s every now and then I think that would be a green flag.

Moth Soup 🗣 :
I feel like it depends, if you get an invite from friends you see maybe once every few months, I feel like its okay to cancel current plans with a partner you see every day. It's the same when it's backwards as well, if you're long distance and you won't get a chance to see your partner for another few months, it's reasonable to be like "hey guys sorry I can't make it to the thing today" or whatever. Also if it's like an activity you won't get to do again, like a last minute invite to a concert that's usually super expensive, like it's a special event of some kind, I feel like its appropriate. Like it fully depends on the situation, I don't think it's right to say "this is a shitty thing to do" when there are a lot of situations where it's reasonable

I didnt say anything about blowing them off or canceling plans. Might have picked a different comment to discuss that. I just said my partner is the priority. That doesn't imply any lack of effort, loyalty or rudeness to friends.

My cousin was supposed to come over because I was going to pay him to do some painting, since he’s doing some odd-jobs for some extra money. After he got a look at what I was wanting done & gave me an estimate, he was invited to stay for dinner. We had planned it for a few weeks, confirmed it that morning, and then come to find out his girlfriend suddenly became free that afternoon. He had dinner with her instead & didn’t even bother to even tell me he wasn’t coming. Instead, I heard it from my parents. We’ve barely spoken since

This! I also think platonic relationships are just as important as romantic relationships. I’m a demiromantic lesbian

I only justify doing this if someone I never get to see is suddenly gonna be in town for a day or two, in which case, whoever I’m blowing off totally understands.

My exhusband told me he stopped talking to his friend because his friend wanted to hang out with him while we were on a family vacation and he didn’t go hang out with his friend while on a family vacation. I told him, well 1. I never told you to stop talking to your friend every time he would bring it up in an argument, 2. It was a bare minimum that you spend time with your wife and kids on a family vacation

It shows integrity when you commit to established plans, doesn’t matter which way it goes/what people are involved.

I hate it how nowadays people view romantic relationships as more superior to platonic ones, because they're not. They are both very important relationships in your life, they are equal, both require compromise and work, both effect your life and it's quality, both deal with other living humans beings that aren't you. The biggest difference is simply the type of relationship. A person with healthy relationships knows how to balance these two types.

So if you blow off your partner and end your relationship that is better?

Depends on the relationship. There’s nobody on the planet more important to me than my wife, it the friends can’t live with that then oh well. If you value your friends that highly, then don’t have a serious relationship.

When I date men, one of the biggest green flags for me is when they honor and prioritize their friendships. You need to reschedule our date because your best friend went through a rough breakup and he needs your support? FUCK yeah, that’s hot.

while I do strongly agree, I also know I and others I have spoken to where the expectation is to flake on friends and family for your partner or change plans to "get your priorities straight" I had to unlearn that so I imagine a lot of other guys are also in the process of unlearning that

it's a balance, sometimes things happen. the truth is my boys are a lot more chill about me changing plans than my gf, the bros understand that I can't make it because we are going thrift shopping, I told them when I found out. but if I told her no because I had plans with the guys shite would get real
