What About Your Friends?

We know that romantic and familial relationships are work, and we respect the time it takes to maintain healthy relationships with our partners and families. But in a culture that prizes romantic love above all else, how do we make sure to maintain and protect our friendships? Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman *literally* wrote the book about friendship and give us an assist with this episode. (Thanks, pals.) Can’t get enough TTFA? Sign up for TTFA Premium for $7.99 a month.
