Maintaining Friendships after You or They step into a Relationship

Friendships can be difficult to maintain when one enters into a romantic relationship. There’s a saying, two are better than one. Friendships are a critical part of every person’s life. It is our friends that partner with us, laugh with us, cry with us, drive us to be better, and celebrate with us. But what do you do when that friendship is deteriorating due to a new romance? Maintaining friendships takes work! The truth is there’s only so much of oneself that a person can give. As people get older, life gets busier and it becomes harder to maintain connections with people we love. This can be even more difficult when someone steps into a romantic relationship. The time that someone spent with a best friend on the phone or going out for the evening is now spent with someone else. Before you know it a friendship that was once strong and vibrant has become splintered and dull. In this podcast episode we want to talk about maintaining friendships when new romances enter the scene. Whether you are the one stepping into a romantic relationship or the friend that may feel abandoned, how do you navigate this change? We will share key perspectives that will help you as you enter this change and tips you can apply to maintain your friendship.
