I think it is more nuanced that that, I lost a lot of friendships after a recent development in my chronic illness made me unable to go out and do things. I didn’t break up with my partner because of this though, they actually help me through it.

There’s no difference in maintaining a relationship and friendship imo tho like they both require effort and in the same way u describe them to be able to leave like game pieces someone ur dating can to.

What you’re saying does make a sense, but this post is generally talking about emotional availability which doesn’t seem like the cause of your inability to maintain or start friendships
