 i don't mean the four legged cute canine companions. 

Since the age of about 12, myself and 7 or 8 lads have been best friends for about 12/13 years, lads holidays, midweek drinking sessions, music festivals, you name it.
We have all had girlfriends over the years, but were extremely careful to seperate, the two (relationships and the lads) until recently.

A few of my friends have now decided to completely forget about history, rituals, and culture between our band of brothers. Often, inexplicably choosing to spend friday AND saturday with their GF's instead of a soccer saturday and £10 coupon all-dayer in  the local. Don't get me wrong I am happy that a few of my friends have found love and want to spend time together. However i feel that if couples spend too much time together they can strangle a relationship and couples can often become bored in relationships.

Anyway back to the puppy dog analogy. A few of my friends have recently been asked/persuaded to go on salad diets and jogging trips as well as being barred from midweek drinking of alcohol. There Girlfriends have them right around there little finger and effectively on a lead.  The lads enjoy cuddling and getting their bellies and ears rubbed just like a little puppy.

Is this just natural progression?  Are instances like this inevitable?   Do best friends of 12 years gradually drift apart? 

The final straw came this week when my puppy-dog** mate invited his GF to our innagural music festival away camping trip to Lowlands (just outside amsterdam) this clam is not a happy bunny.

So any lads out there in the same boat as our villian here, -------> http://youtube.com/watch?v=LTGU60Q6uzY



** puppy dog --------  a man who adheres to his master's (GF)  every wish and command, often sacrificing his own pleasures in life in order to keep his GF happy.
                               in short... She OWNS him.

Some people just grow up and move on with their lives.

Perhaps the crux is not that they have 'been barred' from drinking in midweek or whatever, but that they actually prefer what they do now to what they did before?

it happens to everyone i'm afraid, sad days.

You have to re adjust to whats now available.

It's a cycle, they'll come back to the fold in about 10 years :D

Many also think that the grass is greener on the other side.  When they're single, they get fed up of the search for a girlfriend (or even a bit of fun) and wish they were in a relationship; whereas those in a relationship might think that the free and single fellas out there are all having a whale of a time (where does that saying come from, a whale of a time...?) playing the field and enjoying themselves every night.

If you've got a girlfriend who is happy doing stuff with her own friends there should be no problem.

lol, how true.

My Mrs is vegetarian (not one of them weird politically minded things..just the "nah" sort of thing) and has never even asked me..or implied that I should stop eating meat. In fact she suggests I buy it for myself when I forget. Good thing to because I would have told her to well...would have told her it ain't gonna happen.

She does her own things and I do mine...I don't get this puppy dog mentality at all from anyone. I've had girlfriends and they were like that..they drove me nuts.

There is a balance to a good relationship and I would suggest the puppy dog relationships won't last as sooner or later one of both gets fed up.

hahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What Lads trip are you trying to get him to go on? And did it work or is he not going to speak to you again?

 ;iagree;

It's all about balance.  Hubby and I both go out on our own a couple of times each during the week, then spend the weekends together.  I think we'd both go mad if we didn't have our own time and space.
