Reader's Nightlife Questions Answered: Haute Advice Volume II

Dear @hautenights: My girlfriend’s best friend is always going out clubbing. My girlfriend always gets sucked into being her wingwoman, because she doesn’t have many other friends. I actually met her out at a club and I know for a fact her friend is kind of a hoe. I didn’t really mind at first, but she keeps coming home drunk. I’m starting to get really jealous. What’s the best way to get this to stop? Peter

Dear Peter, What this really comes down to is: How much do you trust your girlfriend? If you trust her, she should be able to go out with her girls sometimes. You don’t want to be in one of those relationships where you cut yourself off from your whole social circle. Plus her going out gives you free time and an excuse to hang out with your boys. However, if she has given you any reason not to trust her in the past, you should be weary. Party girls are awesome hookups but they can make horrible girlfriends. If she is one of those girls who goes out, gets hammered and loses control you might run into problems. Communication is key so don’t be afraid to voice your concerns. However, try not to turn it into a fight because if it gets messy she’s going to turn to her friend for advice. Once this girl finds out the fight is over them going out she may get territorial and start planting the seeds for her to break up with you. So if you trust her, let her have her space. However, if you don’t you might want to reconsider why you’re in a relationship with this person in the first place.
