Re: Third Wheel

In my experience, if it exhausts you then either you or your friends are doing something wrong. I had something like that with a friend couple in high school. They were purposefully exclusionary and then when I reacted to it in a negative way they were overly inclusive in an obvious/uncomfortable way.

Now-a-days, different couple, I feel fine. They sometimes need them-time and maybe I'm over at the house too but the thing is that they're open about it. For example, one of them will get upset, the one who isn't will come up to me and tell me they need to talk to the other and figure out what's goin' down so can I stay in the kitchen a bit? Sure, no big. Tell me when the air is clear.

I think the biggest thing with these kinds of things is open communication and understanding with one another. The couple needs to recognize other people exist and the third wheel needs to understand that the couple may need to be exclusive for stuff sometimes. An honest and open dialogue can really help.
