I see your point. While friends are very important, I'm always in a relationship for the long haul and expect the same in return. The reason why I think friends should take a backseat to his/her s/o is because if someone puts his/her friends 1st at anytime, then if the relationship is strong enough for the next level, they will be 1st in that situation too. I know relationships are a far cry from marriage, but in a marriage, not only do your friends become second to your spouse, but your family does too. The only one before your spouse is God. A relationship is different and not marriage, but friends should be in the backseat in that situation, and if they're true friends they'll be there if things don't work out between you and your s/o.
