They may have good intentions but that doesn’t always mean they are right. I mean, to be honest, there are some things in your personal life your family doesn’t need to know (e.g., when you have a disagreement with your partner). “But, how do I know when it’s okay and when it’s not?” Well, that’s where I come in!

What happens if you remove the sexual aspect - will you still be real friends? Let’s look at what a friendship looks like and go from there.
