Honestly, if I couldn't have time outside of my relationship to just spend time with my friends, I'd go crazy... I love being with my SO, but sometimes I just want to be with other people doing other things. Besides, there are things that I'm pretty sure my SO wouldn't want to do with me. We have a balance though: I have my close friends, he has his, we have mutual friends, and we have eachother.
I think the need for friends should be there even if you're in a relationship. There are probably things that you and your buddies would want to do that she may not be interested in, and I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to go out and do them with people who would want to.
I guess it just sounds weird to me that she doesn't feel the need to have freinds outside of you... or thinks that there's a problem if you want them outside of her.
