Are you one of those who are accused of forgetting your friends and family, even when you are involved in a relationship? If yes, you're not alone. A lot of people struggle with it because you want the relationship to succeed, so much that you sometimes forget that you had a life before you were in this situation. This can cause a lot of problems, because your other relationships may falter a little, and you can not even get things done at work and your responsibilities to other people will be unmanned. You can learn to balance your relationship with your friends and the rest of your life. It may not come easily to you at first, but be assured that it can happen!
If you want to find the balance, the first thing you should do is to plan your time well. If you do not count the time you have to get everything done and make sure that you are responsible for all the people in your life, you will not sometimes. If your problem is to spend time with your friends now that you are in a relationship, plan a time to be with your friends. Tell them that next weekend you want it just girls or just guys and be sure to stick with it. This will not only show your friends that they are still important, but will teach your new companion from getting out that while they are important, so are your friends.
Make sure you are always there for your friends and family on the important day. Weddings, funerals, graduations and even holidays are not days that you must be a no-show on. This will show your friends and family that you will still be there for the special day, and it will show your new partner that they can fit into your life beautiful, but to your friends and family will still have a place in your life, too. It is a good thing for everyone!
Mix and match the people in your life. Do not think you can never get your new companion with your friends and family. Do not assume that your love interest is welcome and not assume that they want to go to family or friend functions with you, but if you do it with both parties, you should jump at the opportunity to get everyone that you love in one place. This will allow you to be all things to all people, while ensuring that no one feels offended.
Make sure that you host parties or gatherings of your own. This allows you to get all together on your terms and will also allow your friends and family to get to know your new girlfriend in a very neutral setting. This will go a long way to help you to balance the new relationship with your other commitments, because you can see the whole thing will just be on your way, so it will work well!
