Hoping for one person to meet all your needs for support, comfort, and entertainment is unrealistic. Sometimes, there are times when processing with your partner isn’t the right choice, so having a strong network of friends you can talk to is essential. But all too often people can fall into a happy relationship bubble, especially early on in the romance, and can end up neglecting their other connections. When that happens and then you hit a rough patch, you may realize you don’t have as many people to reach out to as you once did.
