So sad about their break up

[AmberGer]

Dh and I don't have many friends. But there's one couple we see every couple of months either they come to ours or us to theirs, for food & drinks. We get on so well. We really click. I'm nd and I struggle making connections with people so this is a big deal to me.
We have recently found out they've split up. I know we can continue to see them separately, which we will as we value their friendship. But I'm just so sad that we'll never have our nights together with them as a couple ever again 😪

I see it as a positive. They will move on and meet other partners who will come to dinner with you too. So, you have just doubled your dinner nights as your couple will become 2 couples! 2 sets of dates for your social evenings.

I mean yeah I guess. But also depends on why they split, one might expect others to take sides etc. it's rarely that cut and dry.

Op, sounds shit. I hate it when people split up. My aunt split with her husband when I was 15 and I still get sad about it sometimes. Sounds weird 20 years later but it's the truth. Hope it works out the way pp has suggested.
My positive outcome was that they co parented so we get/got to see him each year at their dc birthday parties and be a happy family for the day!

I'm sorry to hear that OP. We have a couple of very old 'couple' friends and like you I would be very upset if they split up and I would hugely miss the times we spend together. So I understand how you feel, although of course there isn't anything to be done other than build new relationships with them as individuals.
