Well, we met through my maid of honor, who he was friends with first, so there’s her! They went to high school together and had a lot of mutual friends who went to college with me, so my college friend group and his high school friend group have had a ton of overlap. So most of “my” friends (from college) were just about as close with him from the get-go. But he didn’t know my high school friends well, and I didn’t know his non-high school friends well, so we had those two big groups that were just one of our friends with the other tagging along. And it’s still generally that way, but we have both gotten a lot more comfortable with each others’ people over the years and now talk to the other person’s friends outside of the context of that person a decent amount. But the only real friendship that has developed through the other person is me and his best man I think; we’re good friends now.

Paul and I started out as friends. We have a mutual group of friends we share from college and they were all there to witness our wedding which was so important to both of us. On top of that my best friend became a teacher and started at Pauls school so the tow of them become close to the point where Im sure Tara sees Paul as much as her friend as she sees him as my husband The two of them spend more time together then I spend with either of them since they work together everyday now Ive also become close to some of Pauls co-workers and he in return has become close to a few of my classmates from school Also Ive gotten to know one of his home friends very well and I usually call him to come over now instead of Paul! So yes we have blended our lives in more then one way and I wouldnt have it any other way

we share! i have quite a few girlfriends who have great boyfriends, that Mr. Daisy sees independently. his college friends’ wives are all wonderful too, so i sometimes see them on my own too. and then there’s the couple that introduced us (his friend from work and my friend through my sister).

i love the overlap– it makes double dates/nights out something we *both* look forward to!

Yes, we definitely share friends now, but it’s more of a couples thing. I do a biweekly dinner with some of the finances/ wives, but it’s more of a way to hang out without the men. I do love all of his guy friends though, although I can’t say I love all the girls.

Since we work together (I’m in the office, he’s in the field) we share the same work friends. I started there first, and decided to share!
