i didn't mean to strike you the wrong way, i was just trying to explore this deeper.
i do appreciate your opinion, and like i said, i'm not trying to be patronizing... i'm just probing...
by "know what your SO is thinking" i meant exactly, specifically at any given instance...
I suppose it's kind of hard for you to see what i'm saying from your particular position, but if you try to think outside of yourself... in a general sense... not everyone has such a secure relationship as you (by the way, i'm very happy for you and i wish you joy, happiness and health with all my other best wishes).
but just because a relationship is not secure doesn't mean it should be abandoned, which in turn means that it should be salvaged and some compromises made.
many males will feel insecure if their woman goes out to an evening alone with *some guy* (i say it like this because i'm referring more to situations where the men are not familiar/on good terms with eachother).
solutions which i would (in that situation) find helpful, as the male, would be to get aquainted with all of my girlfriend's friends.
i don't think that's too much to ask, or being nosy/prying/protective.
sometimes it's also just a "left-out" syndrome (she's out having fun without me!?)
