Can Our College Friendship Survive Adulthood?
About this episode
Friendship is a key thread of the social fabric. But what happens when the thread starts to fray?
They met in college and have been close for a decade. Now, with long-term partners in the mix, their once-easy bond is under strain. Resentments—some spoken, many not—have started to pile up. Can their friendship adapt to this new phase of life? Or will it unravel? Esther offers them both some hope.
