Yuppp, my boyfriend has been my brother’s friend since middle school, he was loved by all my family before I even knew him. It has worked remarkably 🥰
This is pretty wild to see, but also not surprising.
It’s interesting to think about how couples used to meet from the perspective of Web of Trust: couples used to meet through their personal Web of Trust (family, school, friends, church, etc), but now it’s primarily online.
Not surprising that divorce rates have increased over the same time period.

I was introduced to Carla by a guy who had known her since middle school. He was on my dorm floor and we quickly got really close. I still remember the first time he took me to meet his friends from his home town… “you’re going to like these girls, but you’re going to love Carla.”
He was right.
He was a groomsman at our wedding, and it’s safe to say his introduction to Carla was the most pivotal moment of my life.
Web of Trust matters.
