The Student Room Group

Group politics

Can anyone here help/relate to my situation I wonder?

I have a group of about 15 friends, we're all very close, together at school, and then at the weekend we all go out together, to people houses, drinking to town, cinema..... Obv sometimes the ppl change slightly, new additions, or someone leaves, but generally known each other for years.

Anyway, my problem is that recently the goup is starting to pair off, we have about 5 couples, so 10 ppl of the group paired off, some long term relationships, some new, then another potential couple, and I hate it now. The couples are over each other all the time, (is it normal to pull your boyfriend in front of your mates when sober?), and our whole group seems to be falling apart now. There is also a massive divide into 2 halves

O I don't know really where I'm going with this thread, too complex to explain and sounds so trivial written down, just feel so low and depressed about my friends right now, don't know what to do :frown: hmmm, please comment anything relevant, if not I guess I'll just delete... *sigh*

I would call it surprising that there was no politics for many years.
How old are you? Are you nearing the end of school? If so, don't stress about it, uni's coming soon, if not, try and stay close to your friends and perhaps take up the public displays of affection with the couples. If you can't stay close to them, try talking to other people. But don't just drop all your old friends like that, this might just be a momentary problem.
