It also applies to friends of a different gender

But also don't always blow off your SO because of your friends. That's not cool either.

But if your friend were a bitch, get rid of her
Not bc of the s/o but bc no one needs a bitchy friend

My best friend's boyfriend nearly destroyed our friendship and yet she continues to date the bastard.

What if your s/o is your best friend?

But still, as a couple, both sides should compromise about boundaries

What if your friend tries to hook up with your s/o tho

This isn't an unpopular opinion

If you let your SO separate you from all your friends, it is actually a sign of an abusive relationship. You need a support system that's bigger than one person. It's a relationship, not a dictatorship.
