*~friendships~*
How do you handle friends splitting up? Can you be friends with both? And what about the dating circles, I hear and see of people dating so much within a circle that everyone has eventually slept with everyone in that circle. Do you let "friends" know if they're embarking on a dating adventure with a person you know is XYZ? Is it the same or different online as far as friends splitting up or getting ready to date someone you have prior knowledge about?
Recently we've had some friends/acquaintances that have split up. One couple had been together for about 7 years and the other for about 12(I think).
When I hear about someone with some time under their relationship belt breaking up it feels like a sucker punch. As if it knocks a bit of wind from your sail. Thinking something along the lines of "If so & so can't make it, then surely how are we going to make it?".
We had no idea this was coming. Sure we knew they had some "stuff" just like most of us, but damn.
