A friend of a friend recently entered into a serious relationship with her current boyfriend (within the last couple of months) and things have been smooth sailing thus far. They get along great, everyone's happy for them, ect. They hit a hitch last night, however, when they attended a friend's party. As the night went on, the dancing got a bit more intimate and the friend of a friend ended up dancing a number of songs consecutively with a friend of hers (who wasn't her boyfriend). She usually acts like this at parties, though this is the first one both she and her boyfriend attended together. When she goes to find her boyfriend again, he's obviously upset. He expressed that he didn't want to be overbearing, but she understood why he was concerned even though he wouldn't voice it.
They've since slept on it and talked it out, last I heard. She's struggling with how to deal with the issue going forward, however. This friend of a friend finds that type of dancing to be a stress release, especially when it's with people she gets along with and/or is attracted to. However, she also wants to do right by her boyfriend. It seems that her biggest struggle is how she is going to behave the next time. She doesn't want to give up that release, but wants to respect her boyfriend. Is it wrong for her to want to continue to behave as she has? Should she cut it down, or out entirely? If there's nothing in the dancing beyond the surface intimacy, does that mean her boyfriend is being overbearing? Dilemas, dilemas...
