When I first heard my girlfriend tell me that it was okay if I “fool around” as long as I came back to her, I was surprised. I couldn’t believe she was actually giving me permission to go out and have fun without her, instead of forcing me to stay home and be with her all the time.
I had been with my girlfriend for almost a year, and I had grown accustomed to spending all of our time together.
We went on dates, we went out with friends, we stayed in and watched movies; whatever it was, we did it together.
But then one night, my girlfriend looked at me and said, “It’s okay if you want to go out with your friends and have some fun, as long as you come back to me.”
At first, I was a bit taken aback. I didn’t know how to respond. I mean, don’t relationships mean that you should be loyal and stay together? Why would she be okay with me going out and having fun without her?
But then, I started to think about it. I realized that she was actually being really trusting and understanding. She was telling me that she trusted me enough to let me go out and have some fun, and that she would be there when I came back.
It was a huge relief to know that I could go out and have a good time without feeling guilty or worrying about what she would think. I felt like I could finally be myself and relax.
Now, I’m not saying that it’s okay to go out and do whatever you want without any consequences. I still take my relationship seriously and I would never do anything to betray my girlfriend’s trust.
But it’s nice to know that she’s secure enough in our relationship to give me the freedom to go out and have some fun. It’s a sign of how much she trusts and loves me.
So the next time your girlfriend tells you it’s okay to go out and have fun without her, don’t be alarmed. Remember that she’s actually being really trusting and understanding.
Show her that you appreciate her trust by coming back to her. That’s the best way to show her that you still care about your relationship and that you’re still committed to her.
And don’t forget to have fun! Go out and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty. That’s what relationships are all about.
