From Liz, With Love: How to handle friendships that no longer fit

Dear Liz, I started dating a longtime friend in January. It was my first real relationship, and I fell deeply in love with her.

We’re over halfway through the semester, and between Homecoming, Halloween, and the chaos of midterms, my once-organized life has completely unravelled—gone are the days of colour-coded calendars and meal prepping.
