      I think they literally are actually. I vaguely recall reading something about how if you spend a lot of time with someone as a kid, you’re less likely to be romantically attracted to them because we’re instinctively trying to avoid inbreeding (in the context of small villages). Even if true, that doesn’t translate to their claim though.

      That’s the cart before the horse, though.

      Unless the inevitable break-up makes you friends, instead? 🤔

    If I had to take a wild guess, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is coming from a place of jealousy or envy over a friend they were crushing on hooking up with someone else in the circle
