All my mates are on at me because my girlfriend?????

They all say I am under the thumb and that she controls me but it just isn't true. I enjoy her company, love her sooooo much and she is like my, rock, mentor, and diamond all into one. I don't know where I'd be without her. I admit I listen to her a lot but her advice is usually right and she is headstrong. I still spend time with my friends but I just am in awe of my girlfriend and I just love to spend time with her. Why can't they accept that????
