Ahh, but your average college relationship--or even your average dating relationship--is nothing like a marriage. I expect folks who are dating seriously or cohabiting to be joined at the hip, but your typical college couple who may not even be together after graduation? That's just co-dependency.
On that same token, if you're not actively working on your friendships while in a relationship, you're not exactly a true friend if you come crying back to them when you find yourself suddenly single. Some of the strongest relationships I know are the ones where both members of the couple have, you know...lives.
