When is it socially acceptable to bring your partner to hang out with your friends? According to academic and writer Kate Lister the answer is never.

While some couples prefer to socialise together, Kate argues that time and effort should be invested into individual friendships. Kate joins Nuala for a frank discussion on the murky friendship politics of bringing your partner to lunch.
