0"She's happy with him" sounds like she's happy with her choice of him as a companion.02br

00She's happy when she's with him.0-

0To make sure I understand you correctly, a companion is not neccesary the love of your life, right?02br
02br
00If I'm going on a vacation and my wife can't take off that week and I get someone to take her spot, that person would be my travel companion though we could be just friends, right?02br

00Thanks!0-

0Yes, companion has many meanings. Your travel companion can be a friend. 0-

0Hi GG, one more question.02br
02br
00Your suggestion, "She's happy when she's with him," sounds the same as my second sentence "She's happy when he's around" literally - suggest the guy's presence. Do they not sound the same to you? Thanks0-

0Yes, they both sound like they mean exactly the same thing. I thought that was what you were looking for. 02br
02br
00(On second though, when he's around could sound like he comes to her place and hangs out. But there's very little difference, really.)0-

0Yes, I was looking for an expression that carries the meaning. Because you didn't comment on my second sentence, instead recommended another one, I thought you felt my sentence was not a good choice. On second thought, I too feel your recommendation is better like you've pointed out.02br

00Thanks GG.0-

0Sorry - usually if I don't comment on something it's okay. I'll try to be more clear next time. 0-
