>> Sleepless.

Hence I'm online posting on a Monday morning despite work in a few hours.

A 45-minute phone call has inspired a new theory in me.
It started with this statement,
"(As much as) it is important to have mutual friends among you and your partner,
It is also important to have your own friends."

[ Theory ]
If your partner restricts you to establish friendships,
Or maintain your current ones properly,
You'll soon find that your sole source of dependence is only your partner.
Why ?
Because of the lack of other channels of communication,
Dependency has to be built on the only one available - the partner.
Hence everytime your relationship hit the rocks,
You'll inevitably feel a sense of loss,
As that was the only thing you have made your life out of.
( I was almost a victim of this kinda crap too. )

The Moral ? Think about it.
