S2E13 The Plus One Problem When your partner hates your friends or your friends hate your partner

Описание: Ever bring your partner to brunch and watch them sit there like they’re auditioning for America’s Most Bored Person? 😬

In this episode of Dateable AF, Sarah and Rachel unpack the Plus-One Problem — when your partner doesn’t like your friends (or your friends can’t stand your partner) — and what it actually means for your relationship.

We cover:
💔 Why this happens — jealousy, insecurity, personality clashes, or plain old social mismatch.
⚠️ Red flags to watch for — subtle isolation, guilt-tripping, or pressure to “choose sides.”
💬 What to do when your partner hates your friends — how to stay connected without causing chaos.
👯 What to do when your friends don’t like your partner — separating valid concerns from protective projections.
🧠 The psychology behind it — how attachment and group approval shape our reactions.
💡 Real-world strategies — finding compromise, staying honest, and keeping your community intact.

Because love should expand your world — not shrink it. 🌎
