Summary
It's Caller Day! Have you ever dated someone whose platonic friend(s) didn't exactly welcome you with open arms? Today's caller, Dayna, has a predicament which inadvertently touches on social dynamics when it comes to dating: jealousy, social hierarchy, a partner's say in who we spend our time with, and how friendships can change when someone in the friend group finds their Happily Ever After. Not all questions have clear answers, and while this one falls squarely into that category, we guarantee you'll relate to some part of today's conversation.
