Poll and maybe a discuss: Friends with friend's spouses?
Are you friends with your SOs friend's SOs? Would you hang out with this person without your SOs friend?
Do you think it's important that you have to be friends with the friend's spouse?
Re: Poll and maybe a discuss: Friends with friend's spouses?
OK here's my short and sweet answers...
My crafting/gardening/cooking/living life blog
I don't know if I would consider any of H's friend's SOs friends, but they're more than acquaintances. We just don't have a ton in common. I do really like most of the SOs.
However, there's one SO that I can't stand. It kind of goes back a long ways and it's my own stupid grudge that I'm holding, but I can't seem to let go of it. Honestly, this person could show up on my door step with cute puppies wearing sweaters, tell me the puppies are mine, but that she'd scoop the poop and I still wouldn't like her. I'm cordial towards her, but she really gets under my skin.
I do wish that I were better friends with the SOs bc like csartini said earlier, it does make things easier.
Are you friends with your SOs friend's SOs? not all of them, but some.
Would you hang out with this person without your SOs friend? depends.
Do you think it's important that you have to be friends with the friend's spouse? only if they are committed for the long haul. h has a friend that switches girlfriends every few months to a year. i became "friends" with one once..and then they broke up and it became weird for me to be friends with her anymore..... this friend has probably had 8 "serious relationships" in the 6 years h and i have been together.
more serious ones i don't mind investing my time with, and think it's important to build a relationship because it makes things easier.

Yes. I hang out with 4 of DH's friend's SOs on a semi-regular basis (all are FIe and W of friends). We have "girl nights" every month or so, so we can hang out w/o the guys. I have things in common with those 4 girls in particular and we get along really well. There is another group of DH's friends' SOs that I don't get along with as well as the other girls, but as long as the group of friends is big enough, it's never really an issue.
For our group it is. Almost all of us went to college together (Go Dawgs!). So often times we all hang out for UW football games (tailgating, or having parties at each other's homes), UW basketball games, and birthdays...... and now weddings (and Showers, Bachelorette parties for the girls in the group) because ALL of DH's close friends have/are getting married this year or next year. I should mention that DH and his friends are all members of the same fraternity, so that's a big reason why getting along with everyone in the group is important.

Enlighten me. Who do you hang out with other than your H? What about when you want to do things that he doesn't want to do? Sorry if this comes off snarky, that's really not my intent, this just sounds so interesting.
this.

He has a few coworkers we'll go to games with but that's about it. We hang out together. He travels quiet a bit, so I use that time to do things I want to do, if its something he doesn't.
This sounds heavenly.
It works for us, we kind of like each other.
It wasn't always this way. We had a large group of mutual friends in AK that took up every weekend. But I've realized it's really hard to meet people other than coworkers when your an adult. Before we had childhood friends, college friends, etc. but you pretty much give all that up when you move.
I'm not friends with all of H friends' SOs... in fact, a lot of his friends are single... which makes it hard because all they wanna do is party...
i'm friends with some of the SOs but I don't hang out with them unless H is there.
It is really hard because all my friends have SOs and while H gets along with their SOs, he doesn't really wanna hang out with them.. but it sucks because i usually end up being the 3rd or 5th wheel because h doesn't hang out and i do..
This has been an issue in our house lately.. you too?
h and i have made some *wonderful* friends at work. one of our bff's /former roommates was a coworker of h's. and we have a group of friends (who all went to college together) that h and i are *very* close with....one of h's coworkers was roommates with them...while the friendship with the coworker didn't last, we liked his roommates and are still around

Oh, I'm not saying it can't be done. DH walks a fine line because he's management. So his coworkers we go to sporting events, etc. but not really out otherwise. He's also one of the youngest in his branch here, so it's kind of awkward. (Poor guy has to lay off some 60 year old guy this week.)
My office sucks. There are only 2 other people relatively my age, and I'm starting to talk to/do lunch with one of the gals more, but not really sure if it will be more than a work relationship.
yikes, that is tough!
