@ulxma@offbeatorbit Its why “girls nights/boys nights” originally became a thing.
You needed to specify or else it was just assumed your significant figure was invited as well.
@offbeatorbit Basically.
Time and how the relationship ends(if it does) is what matters for normal people in real life.
I know people who got married after 6 months Idgaf about beyond social obligations vs people who have been dating 5 years I consider real friends.
We got married like two months before he died. I was his girlfriend for most of that time, so I really don't think that matters. Time, arguably, does, but the label less so.
@heyjoydoe I’m the man but typically its stuff where hobbies don’t overlap with my wife but do with her friends?
Card game events or certain movies.
Sometimes I only one of us will go to support an event or pick some up from the airport when the other can’t make it
Typical friend stuff?
I mean, while it would probably make stuff a little awkward for a while, me assuming that our friendship up to that point is fake would be psychotic and incredibly self centered lmao
You’re more strict than I am about the definition of a friend, and that’s gonna have to be okay, kitty. I’m also going to say that, as a widow, thank god all of my husband’s friends didn’t see me as nothing more than some proxy acquaintance to be forgotten about after he died!
