Bartholomew Lorriea month agoI (24F) moved abroad 5 months ago while my fiancé (28M) still lives in our home country. We've been together for a few years and got engaged last year. Since moving, I've had to make new friends, and while I mostly hang out with girls, I've also made two guy friends. Sometimes we hang out in a group, but when our friends aren't available, I sometimes end up spending time alone with one of them. This usually happens at events like university scavenger hunts or live music scenes. I’m wondering if it’s awkward or weird to hang out alone with a guy friend since I’m engaged. My fiancé has female colleagues he’s friends with, but they always hang out in groups, and that doesn’t bother me because I trust him. However, I think I would feel uncomfortable if he spent time alone with a female friend. The situation is different for me because I’m abroad and trying to build a new circle of friends. Back home, I hung out with my friends, mostly in groups, and it never felt weird. I haven’t discussed this with my fiancé because I think he might feel insecure or upset about it, but I’m trying to figure out if this is a normal response or how to handle it. To be clear, I'm not actively trying to hang out alone with this guy, but I do enjoy our conversations about topics I don’t often talk about with my fiancé or other friends.137
