When you marry someone, you marry their friends too. I knew this and yet I didn't listen.
I choose to surround myself with people who are progressing, not digressing. People who have left the halls of Winter Park High and moved onto bigger and better things. I always had concerns in the back of my mind about marrying "M" because I didn't care for any of his friends. Typical immature BS that they should have grown out of 10 years ago. I thought that since he had entered the military and started taking on a different life and lived a zillion miles away from them, it wouldn't matter. Wrong. You can tell a lot about someone by the people they surround themselves with. I'll remember this next time.
The ONE and ONLY exception to this rule, is if your husband (or wife) is responsible, mature, and dedicated enough to walk away from those who are living their lives on the edge. The ones who could cause destruction in your marriage. And this means COMPLETELY. It's not something you should have to ask them to do, they should just do it knowing their lives have now taken a different direction. If none of their friends are married yet, I'd raise a red flag.
Just sayin...
