Scenario

When friends compete for the same opportunity

My best friend and I both applied for the same job at a place we've always said we'd love to work and now we're both in the final round and neither of us knows how to handle what happens next. We keep pretending it's fine but there's this weird tension now when we talk and I don't know if our friendship can survive one of us getting what we both want.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Competition between intimates forces a reckoning with whether love can hold space for conflicting desires.
