The most common themes of group chats were family (66%), friend groups (30%) and night out planning (30%).

Professor of evolutionary psychology Robin Dunbar, who was a part of this study, commented on these findings by saying, “Maintaining contact with our networks is one of the most important things we can ever do. Not just because they are fun to spend time with, but because research shows that having a small, cohesive group of friends and contacts massively improves our mental health and wellbeing—and even our physical health.”

Huddo's sister 3 days ago

My family has one chat that is just my siblings, mum and I and one that includes my stepdad and step sister because my stepdad doesn't get why we talk about 'unimportant' things or send memes. He just wants to be included in plans for catch ups, which he then forgets until the day before.

I've seen it quite a lot on twitter, only it's worded in such a way that there is no doubt. In this case NTA.

So your 34y friend is in love or lust with another adult? That happens regularly. Sometimes the relation lasts and sometimes it doesn't.

So - is this real, or does this friend just have a crush on an unavailable person. It's not quite clear what the "" mean. Why not have some sex with a younger person if both are over the legal age and consenting? I really don't see all the outrage if BOTH ARE OKAY WITH IT. (I have to caps just in case people come at me). Young people can just as much fall in love with older people than vice-verse. Everyone's all (rightfully so) asking for being taken seriously when you're old enough to know your own mind, but in this issue for some reason this community always gets in uproar when young people decide who they want to have sax with.

Some people like to make it their business who other people choose to have sxx with. Sometimes these people think that others are not mature enough to make their own decisions.

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson Jesus loves you more than you will know. Is it illegal? What is the age of consent in Murica? What age gap is appropriate? Are there any rules of engagement? As long as they are two or three or four consenting adult, I say it's nobody's business.
