Relationship Rules Successful Couples Break
Spend equal time with his friends and yours
This rule is ridiculous. Here’s the truth: I genuinely think my partner’s friends are a blast and I can clearly see that he doesn’t hit it off with my friends as much. He respects them. He recognizes the bond I have with them. But he doesn’t have the same explosive chemistry with my friends as I have with his. So when he hangs with my friends, he is making a small sacrifice. When I hang with his, I’m making no sacrifice at all. So why should he be expected to spend equal time with my friends?
