Just looking for some perspectives on this topic or some experiences and outcomes.*

 

Is it healthy to share the same circle of friends with someone whom you are in a relationship with? Why or why not?

It's probably ideal if you share some friends but not others.

 

My last serious boyfriend and I had a bunch of the same friends and still have them. Many of them were his friends first, but they really took to me. Even though he and I are broken up now, they are still my friends. In fact, we all get together as if my ex and I never broke up. Only it's all on the friendship tip now.

I'm having this experience now, and I really love it. ....don't know what else to say about it really lol.

 

I agree with Jane though that all of your friends shouldn't be mutual. That, I think, would be unhealthy. I also think it could be unhealthy if you constantly go to those mutual friends with relationship problems. It puts the friends in an awkward position.
