Hubby and I both feel that your friends are your friends and you shouldn't give them up to be part of a couple. I asked that question because we know a couple that feels that once you are part of a couple you should give up your friends that aren't also part of a couple. And that made me wonder if there are alot of people out there that feel that way.
I feel like alot of you do, coupledom may come and go (hopefully not), but friends are around to stay. I've had my best friend (yes, it's a guy), since I was 9 years old and I told hubby right up front if he had a problem with that he could a door. But, hubbies best friend is also opposite sex, so he completey understands where I am coming from.
