There has always been a debate about the priority level between friends and partner. Many chooses their friends to be their priority above their partner and many their partner above friends. This thing has always tend to create problems in the lives of people if not handled properly. You have limited time, and you have to choose with whom you will spend that time. Basically there are three circles of life - family, career and me. If you will try mix all of them together then you will never bhi able to do anything properly. So when you are working just work, when you are spending time with your family, then just be with them and when you are spending time with yourself then just be in that moment.

It is observered, that girls tend to give priority to their partner above everyone else. They do things according to their partner. Even ditch the plans with their friends, just because of the sake of their partner. Their whole life starts revolving around their partner. And start expecting the same in return. Many women have been seen sacrificing their career in order to support the career of their partner. In every daily soap it is shown women having trouble to have their own life on their terms. On the contrary there are girls who put their friends and career first than their partner. And in some way it's their choice about whom they want to make their priority.

Now in boys scenario, they have been mostly observed giving their priority to their friends more. After work they prefer spending some time with their friends, rather than going all the way to meet their girlfriends. They don't cancel their plans with their friends just for the sake for their partner. They don't even sometimes bother to pick up the call when they are out with their friends. And expect their partner to understand it.

When boys choose their friends over partner and girls don't, and when girls choose their friends over partner and boys don't, cause problems. Because of the expectations, everyone wants to be the priority, and when that priority is not given that person feel insecure or not valued. With communication these problems can be solved, noone know what's right or wrong, but should do what feels right to them. Relationships are difficult but with efforts and communication everything can be sorted.

So, communicate with your partner, with your friends, with yourself, don't try to mix up everything, keep your priority according to your own satisfaction straight, learn to manage time, learn to maintain a balance among everything.
