Or maybe it’s the very nature of a friendship verses an intimate relationship. When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, or simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn’t a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for granted, which might be the very thing so dear about it.
