One of the things I really wanted out of the Lifestyle was to find a group of really good friends that we enjoyed hanging out with and could also have some sexy fun with. We were very lucky and we did find that group of friends. Sometimes I wonder though if it is worth it to get so close to Lifestyle friends.

Friends come and go, that is just a fact of life. But when you are able to make really good friends with Lifestyle friends - when the friendship ends you lose so much more. Of course that is because you have so much more with friends like this. Never before have I had so many friends that I am so comfortable around, that I trust with so much, or that I can be myself around like I can with my lifestyle friends.

Unfortunately, when lifestyle friends break up or leave the lifestyle for whatever reason, the friendship is usually pretty hard to maintain. We've done it with some, but failed with others. It's harder when you don't have the common events to attend (especially when you have limited time for social activities as it is).

I feel so lucky to have met such great friends. However, I also feel that I have lost some people that I very much miss because we had such a connection (way much more than sex).

I guess in the long run it is worth it to have had those people in my life. But I still miss them.
