Do you believe two is company and three's a crowd?

Along with this question, have you heard a quote that either you do or don't agree with?

No , if it were true, people would never have children, or become part of a group..Some of lifes best times can be shared with many

When I was in high school my brother would bother me when my boyfriend would be around. So three was definitely a crowd then.  So I guess it all depends on the situation or the third person. 
Find  a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck. Really? I hurt my back bending over for that penny! No more! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Luckily, I have great friends.  After my divorce, I was the 3rd, 5th, 7th, person at many gatherings and events.  They always included me and never made me feel like the odd person out.  A couple of them are now divorced and they are included the same way.

No...i think two OR three is company!!  As i grew up one of three children!!

 

The quote i hear i don't agree with is:

 

 God only gives you what you can handle........

 

(not believing that one)

Or when someone passes and - they are in a better place or they aren't suffering anymore or they aren't in any more pain.  Honestly, I know people mean well but it doesn't help at all hearing those things.  I will never say any of those to someone that just lost a loved one.

I couldn't choose between:

 

Your judged by the company you keep, and

 

If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

 

Both are true

@qualitygal   I always thought "two is company and three is a crowd" had to do with romance-you want to be alone with your partner and the third person needs to leave so you can do "romantic things" alone.

 

I never took that quote to mean anything else.

@qualitygal  I only believe that quote in certain situations. 

My very favorite is one by Eleanor Roosevelt - "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent".
