Have you ever been referred to as someone’s “work wife” or “work husband”? Is that even okay to do? What about other types of opposite s3x friendships? Are they okay to have? If so, how are they different from same-s3x friendships?

So many questions, right? Don’t you worry because Carrie and Josh are on it! In this episode Carrie and Josh will discuss not so much the importance of friendship, but primarily the complexities of opposite s3x friendships.

We hope you enjoy this episode and/or find some kind of helpful benefit as you try to better understand yourself, your relationships, and how the different types of friendships fit into the equation. Let us know your thoughts and questions in the comments. Thanks for watching!

___________

Regarding LGTBQIA+ friendships and friendship concerns: Although this episode is primarily focused on the concerns of those who are currently in or plan to be in heterosexual couple relationships, we would love to hear from the LGTBQIA+ community regarding how friendship concerns and boundary failure manifests. If you’re comfortable with it, please tell us your thoughts in the comments. __________
