Ok, so right now I'm on a foreign exchange program, have been for about six months, and I'm about to go back home.
My two best friends from school, I've been with them for more than 10 years, now have boyfriends. And their boyfriends are best friends. I'm most worried about one of them, K.
I'm kind of worried that I'll come back and be the fifth wheel. For some reason none of us have ever really had a boyfriend (or nothing as serious, anyway) and no I don't know how to be around them. I go back home in three weeks. K will be at the airport picking me up. Will she bring him? Will our friendship change drastically? The last (at least) five times I've called her, he's been there. Is she lonely because I'm not there? We used to hang out almost every day.

I'm sorry if this is long and rambling. I'm tired. And worried.

Thank you so much for reading!

Yes your relationships will be different. That is not just because of the boyfriends but, because each of you has matured differently and, because you were separated, it will seem drastically different than it was before. Don't expect to hang out with them like before. In fact, expect them to hang out with their boyfriends like you all used to hang out. That will leave you feeling like the fifth wheel, if you try to hang out like before. However, I am sure God has something in store for you as well, so you will find yourselves hanging out as friends, possibly the three of you, one night a week.

Work with them to figure out how to have days, and times that are set aside for friendships and for relationships. That way, you can each look forward to certain times and days of companionship, etc. That type of scheduling minimal times together, lets you have a lower threshold of expectation, that maintains the friendships/relationships and allows for more time together when possible.

I set aside Saturday mornings for household chores. Saturday afternoons for friendships and Saturday evenings for dates. That way my wife could count on time for me to get things done around the house, I could count on time with my friends, and we both could count on time together, as a couple, no matter what else happened during the week.

Sounds like the situation I was in just recently, except I was a third. Yes, your going to feel like a fifth wheel, but not in every situation.

I can suggest that you set up some times for just you and your friends though.
