For many women, talking about relationships and hashing out the ups and downs of our love lives with friends is an essential bonding experience. It helps us gain perspective on our behaviors and brings us closer to our gal pals.

Perhaps the more committed you become in a relationship and the more you agree to confide emotionally in your partner, the less room there is for this brand of BFF bonding. Or maybe it all depends on who your friends are. What do you think? Is it disrespectful to discuss your relationship with your girlfriends once you've passed a certain threshold of commitment? Or is dishing with your besties a necessary outlet?
