Getting along with friends | Other people in a relationship

Something I think is important, is being able to get along with your partners friends.

Specifically, their closest friends.

Because we’re a sum of those who are closest to us.

So through their friends, we also get a much better sense of who made our partner.

Getting to know them

It’s very important to know your partners’ friends.

Aside from just knowing how our partner came to be the way they are, their friends are also a great opportunity to meet other people you may enjoy spending time with.

If our partner is the sum of their friends, then there’s likely traits we like about them too.

And that’s the beauty of getting to know your partners’ friends.

It just creates opportunity to create a healthy longer-lasting relationship.

The one group of friends

Ideally, what would result out of this is to have one friend group for the both of you.

I say this because as we get older, we lose a lot more of the people we once talked to every single day.

So eventually, we have a close-knit group of friends that we just lean on and keep up with.

I think that’s what happens in most relationships.

Because if you know you’re going to be committed, then it’s just more convenient for the couple.

Final thoughts

This one was definitely a bit of a shorter post because truly I think it’s a very straight forward piece of advice.

Unless you dislike people, I think it’s always important to try and be friends with your partners’ friends.

You never know who you may get along with.
