She invited me to a dinner she planned for Friday with a few of our friends. I will go, but I feel that I should start declining some of these invitations. As my own GAL ramps up, I hope this will become natural as schedule conflicts arise.
Remember one of her concerns/troubles was feeling like she HAS to invite you if she is doing something because you are living together or whatever. I would say if you start declining these invitations, it will be good for both of you. It shows that you are actually listening and giving her that space. Plus, that gives you more opportunity for awesome GAL! And ALSO remember the last time you went out with friends anyway.
