The best relationships I've had are when both her and I have had our own group of friends. We would be able to hang out with just each other, or with our friends, or one with the other group of friends and vice-versa. The two groups of friends getting together was rare, and not at all necessary. I found that very healthy, much healthier than spending ALL our time with each other, or one person spending ALL their time with just the other person's friend and neglecting their own.
Part of what I look for in a relationship is that she has her own group of friends and can at least tolerate mine.
