Fairly obviously, a scenario like this is probably a bit less likely to unfold these days just because of society’s evolved understanding about power dynamics at work.

One of the weirdest things about being single in your late twenties and early thirties is that half your mates still want to stay out all night every weekend and the other half are literal parents.

This is the type of rubbish break-up excuse you might still feasibly hear in 2023, and our friends who are also in the dating trenches remain our biggest support systems during sadness or disappointment, even if we are all just obsessed with our own issues , but our go-to outlet for sharing is the group chat, rather than emergency calls or meetings in Café Rouge. It makes for a far more convenient way to broadcast our problems. There are, after all, some things that never change.
