Abstract
If your friend and romantic partner didn’t get along, who would you choose? Across two studies, one survey and one experimental, we found friend and partner opinions of each other influenced the participant’s choice to the extent that the negative network opinions fueled dissatisfaction with the friendship and/or romantic relationship.
