Don't Ditch Your Friends When You're In A New Relationship
Being in a relationship can bring many joys, but it can also complicate aspects of your life that you’re not used to giving much thought to. Spending time with friends outside of your relationship suddenly requires a little more intentionality and effort, and you should be willing to keep up with the people whom you care about.
There is an inherent excitement in romantic relationships, especially new ones. All of a sudden your life looks a little different, and you’re enamored with a new person who seems to understand you like no one ever before. You’re consumed with thoughts of date nights and long talks, and a constant desire to spend just one more hour together. Or maybe your relationship isn’t brand new, and you’ve been together for a while, and you’re just more comfortable with your partner than with anyone else. The ease of time spent together, and conversations had is unparalleled, and being with this person is just different than being around anyone else.
