A routine double-date can suddenly reveal a friend's non-monogamy via social media, creating immediate awkwardness. Non-monogamy can be a consensual, positive choice rather than a sign of relationship failure. Surprising disclosures demand measured responses: avoid asking whether a couple is getting divorced or making assumptions about their motives. Natural curiosity should be balanced with respect for privacy, consent, and established boundaries. Maintain composure, follow the couple's lead on what to discuss, and ask questions only if invited to prevent damaging trust and relationships.
When the day finally comes, you slog through a full work day before meeting up with your partner to grab a cab. Then en route to your reservation, a revelation: As you mindlessly open social media, your thumb stops mid-scroll when you see that your best friend has posted a picture of them kissing someone. And that someone is not the partner you're about to meet up with.
Congratulations! Your best friend is non-monogamous, and you're five minutes out from needing to play it cooler than the other side of the pillow. If this scenario doesn't sound familiar, it will once you've watched the funniest movie of the year: NEON's " Splitsville," an unromantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona. The film follows the good-natured Carey (Kyle Marvin) who runs to his best friends Julie (Johnson) and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino) for support when his wife (Arjona) asks for a divorce.
