I’ve always been very social. I never thought I’d be the type to ditch my friends for a guy. And then I met Victor. I was swept away. We started to spend more and more time together and then it was like one day after the honeymoon was over (literally) we realized that we’d both drifted away from our friends.
Besides being a lot of fun, there are many good reasons to seek “couple friends.” They can empathize with the joys and challenges of being in a committed relationship. It gives you a chance to hang out with members of the opposite sex, without putting you or your relationship in compromising situations. And as an added bonus, spending time with other couples is incredibly educational. Seeing how other couples interact puts your own relationship in perspective. It gives you the opportunity to learn from their successes, and their mistakes.
