Obviously my social scene is less imaginative than most, but doesn't this eventually devolve into two people with whom you're doing sex, only one of whom is used as a companion for all world-facing purposes?

NTTAWWT, of course, but I don't see the practicality of being a couple for social purposes with any more than one person at a time. Or am I being fusty and now everybody gets +2 wedding invitations?

Perhaps neither of these people is yet at the "take them to functions with your friends" stage.
