It gets a lot easier if you trim down the number of relationships you actually want to maintain.

There's my partner. Heck, now I'm almost full!

Been there, done that, i can tell you it’s a bad approach, because relationships don’t last forever and aren’t always smooth 100% of the time.

Having friends is often also having somebody that you can talk about your issues (even about issues with your partner) and get a different opinion.

Been there, done that. Most of the opinions I've sought - not just received - haven't been worth either the time or oxygen they consumed. Winging it has gone well. It's a wash.
