Not important at all. I’d love to stay inside my house with my husband and never venture out.

When I look back at my relationships it's the guys who let me run & be free that i had to most success with. The ones that tried to control me I fought back against their control & it always ended with me leaving. It's not always obvious what their doing. Suddenly you never have time to see your friends because he's always got you booked in with his family & friends. They really want you to be codependent. You're an accessory in their life.

I depise men and women who don't let their partners spend time with their friends- it's ridiculous

If you find the right one you wont feel tied down

Freedom to do what? If your just speaking about socially my husband lets me do whatever I want, he knows better than to tell me what to do & I offer him the same courtesy because we trust each other. If i want to go out with a girlfriend to have dinner he doesn't care, he encourages me. What kind of relationship wouldn't allow that? The only one I can think of would be an unhealthy/abusive one.

Extremely important. Freedom goes hand in hand with trust, you can't have one without the other.
I left a 7 year relationship for lack of trust and freedom. Didn't realize I was being micro-managed and controlled and then maniuplated when I wanted to go out somewhere with friends

I've learnt very recently it's incredibly important I put myself on the back burner for 10 years, it's only now I've started doing things that make me happy

Shouldn’t even be an issue.

very. You had a life before them and should have in the future.

The only difference is including then in most (not all) social gatherings. That should go both ways.

Then you'll end up with mutual friends as well.

We also value eachothers individual interests. I do wines with the girls and sewing and has his sports.

Time apart makes the time you do spend toget
