He has a few habits that I can’t stand!

I am a 32-year old woman and have been considering marrying a guy I began dating three years ago. He loves me a lot and I think we make a good couple, but he has a few bad habits that make me worry at times. He tends to go off on weekends with friends and doesn’t even send me a text message on those days. He says he thinks of me on those weekends off but is busy having a boys’ night out with them and tends to separate that from our relationship. I am mature enough to understand that he needs his time and space, of course, but I also find it hard to accept that he can’t even send a message to greet me in the mornings. Is this a sign that he may start to grow more distant after we marry?
It’s not a sign of anything just yet because people evolve as relationships get stronger. The boys’ nights he has may start to fade into insignificance as he commits to a lifelong relationship, and any issue you have with his inability to communicate can be resolved through dialogue. There may always be things that bother you about him, just as there may be things about you that he struggles to accept. A healthy relationship is one that allows for give and take from both partners. If you feel slighted by his refusal to message, tell him how it makes you feel and ask him to work on it. This will only be a problem if neither of you is willing to talk about it.

How can I convince my best friend to spend more time with me than she does with her boyfriend? He may not be with her forever, but she and I have been friends since we were in school.
Being a friend sometimes involves allowing the other person to do what they need to do, safe in the knowledge that you are always around when they need someone to talk to.
