Everyone is protective of themselves, and their friends... and noone wants them or their friends to get hurt/messed around etc. But where's the line between being protective and just being a dick...?
When your friend is in a relationship with someone you don't approve of or get along with, what do you do? I've known people to get involved in other peoples relationships and sometimes it has a positive result and sometimes it creates an un-needed situation.
Truth is guys, you can't influence someone about who they can and can't be with, if you do, are you really being a great friend? In your eyes that person may not be right or good enough etc for your friend, but you have to let your friends make their own decisions, even if they are mistakes. I'm not saying if they're doing something being your friends back not to tell them or anything. But you can't go around hating on your friends partners just because you don't like them... How do you think that would make your friend feel?
Respect is something that is really lacking between friends now a days, and i feel writing this blog i'm lecturing you guys... and maybe in a sense i am. But this is what i personally believe and what i've seen from personal experience is the best way to go about these certain situations.
So what if you're on the other side? The partner who's hated by his/hers friends. My advice? IGNORE THEM. Easier said than done i know. But if you don't retaliate when you feel you're being treat unfairly. Your partner will appreciate the fact you're being mature and not hating on their friends. At the end of the day they are nothing to do with your relationship and if they're not your friends, they're nothing to do with your personal life. They may be a part of theirs, but they're not a part of yours, so pretend they don't exist, no matter how bad they make you feel. Hating on their friends will get you NOWHERE. If your partner is strong enough to tell them where to stick it and get over it, they will. That is also a great way of seeing how great they are :D.
So much unneeded drama is caused by people conflicting over friends and relationships. It will get you nowhere, ever. One thing you'll always have to do is respect the fact other people in your life have people in theirs you might not agree with... but that's just life right? :)
