It's healthy to have friends outside of the relationship . . . and I've found that intimate relationships take on a personality all their own. IMO, it can be a huge strain on the relationship if one of the partners is trying to get all of their happiness from the relationship.
And of course the BC could be an issue; I've had friends over the years that reacted very strongly and it altered aspects of their personalities big time. Just a thought, is her personality different from pre-BC? It does sound like there's an insecurity issue with your woman . . .
Bottom line, cheers from me for having friends outside of the relationship.
