Why you need to have your own friends  |  Photo Credit: Instagram When you fall in love with someone and start dating the person, you learn to love people close to
them, too. There is a reason why certain people find it important for their partners to like their friends. It’s so everyone can get along well with each other and let the couple focus on
being in love with each other. No one likes to fight or do things that lead to misunderstanding. But while you are working on being good friends with your partner’s friends, you need to make
sure that your bond with your own friends doesn’t go up the chimney. It’s a lot of effort and time management. HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY IT’S IMPORTANT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN FRIENDS AND NOT JUST
YOUR PARTNER’S. BECAUSE BREAKUPS ARE TOUGH ALREADY Yes, it’s a pessimistic approach to relationships but what if you do breakup? It’s already devastating to be hung up on one person but
you’ll be hung up on all of his/ her friends, too. Not to mention, you have met these new friends only because of your partner and it would be unfair to ask them to take sides when you are
going through a breakup. Things get pretty ugly and you will need your own set of friends to help you get through it. IT WILL HELP YOU BE YOURSELF When you are with your partner’s friends,
no matter how close you are with them you will always be his/her partner first and then a friend. Not to mention, you will always be unapologetically yourself when you are with YOUR friends.
You will not pretend to be someone else so your partner’s friends like you. YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE WITH YOU EVEN AFTER THE BREAKUP When you guys break up, his/her friends will want to be with
the person they were originally friends with and not you. Instead of being all alone after your breakup, you can turn to your own friends for emotional support. SPACE You will be all in
your partner’s life if his/her friends are the only ones you hang out with all the time. Having your own set of friends will help you two give each other space and preferably some me time,
too, that will not cause the relationship any harm. YOU’LL END UP UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER BETTER What you are with your friends will be nothing like how you are with your partner. Hanging
out with each other’s friends will just help you understand each other better and help you pick your favourite quality about your partner. For instance, I am extremely mean and funny when I
am with my friends but very mellow and in control of my thoughts on a date. Eventually, you both will discover the crazier, wilder sides to each other.
