I Feel Like It’s Super Weird When Couples

Have like entirely separate friend groups?

Like there isn’t a whole “These are D’s friends” “These are my friends” thing with me and D, pretty much all our friends are both our friends with the exception of my online RP friends pretty much, and like he’s a little closer to some of the Lovecraftian people and I’m a little closer to some of the Alt. fashion people but like overall most of our closest friends are other leftists and are friends with both of us.

Cause like if you don’t have common interests, what do you talk about?  How do you have a relationship with someone who doesn’t wanna hang out with your friends?

Hey, I got answers… 

Me and my husband have things in common… but not everything in common. 

We are two separate people who love each other. Not one fused super-being.. the world isn’t ready for that yet.. 

As a result, there are some things I enjoy that he doesn’t much care for, and things he enjoys that I don’t much care for. 
Like… I like raisins, and he doesn’t… but with things like different genres of media and different social needs… 

Ofcourse there’s overlap. There’s my friends, his friends, And our friends, but I don’t need all his friends to be my friends too and vice versa. I think it’s adorable when he talks about his friends that I don’t even know.

I am included in his world, and he is included in mine, but we still remain ourselves, individuals, who choose to share our worlds with each other because we want to. 

I meant when there’s like… no overlap at all it’s weird, your thing seems normal. Mostly I find some stuff my husband likes interesting because it’s *his* stuff, like I probably wouldn’t be this interested in the Eastern front of WWII if it weren’t for him, but it’s an interesting subject and his passion got me into it… and like while we don’t have all interests in common, most of our friends are sort of… well like they share interests with both of us, like they might be interested in three things we’re all interested in, and then two things only one of us is interested in, and it sort of goes like that… but like most of our friends are other commies and we mostly talk about that so… that’s a thing.
