- Small groups of people who know each other IRL are very sensitive to breakups. When a couple breaks up, it frequently splits their friend group into 2 camps that "follow" one of the partners (strange behavior in my view but certainly observable and prevalent, especially in the US). Dealing with this complexity is going to be a challenging task.
