Exactly guys! Just be there for your friend when he/she needs your ear to complain and a shoulder to cry on. It’s important to make a conservative effort not to bash your friend’s mate, because you’re not there when they make-up (and their not mad at anymore, but you are).

Not my concern at all and hate is such a strong word. I would only state how I felt if my friend asked me otherwise it’s none of my business and frankly I don’t have to like or be liked by the significant other of my friend. I don’t see them being mutually exclusive to either relationship. Just because I may not like them doesn’t necessarily mean they’re in a bad relationship.

If I had any friends, I’d probably sleep with the significant other I didn’t like to see what all the fuss is about.

*concerted effort. . .hmm I was wondering if this also applies to family? What if your parents and other close family members did not like your mate? Would you ignore it?

JJG, no I wouldn’t ignore it because my family is very important to me but it would be up to me to decide how much their opinions would impact how I see her and whether or not to continue the relationship if I’m having questions. Like I said previously, just because someone doesn’t like who you’re dating doesn’t necessarily mean there is something wrong with your relationship. Perhaps their uneasiness towards her might be because they just haven’t spent enough time around her or the initial impression she gave was affected by an illness or simply having a bad day. But for me there are just too many variables to conclusively say, “if my family doesn’t like her I won’t date her.”

DC, I agree. I would do the same. I also think it’s important to take wise counsel when you’re in a relationship, because as we all know love can make you blind and deaf. . .lol, but ultimately it’s up to the individual to choose to take the advice given.

CO-sign DC, if they ask, be honest. but other than that….keep it moving. I know my position, and my role isn’t “gatekeeper for who can date my friend”…

But to add to that, when my best friend was dating some chick that was just doggin’ him out and not treatin him wit the same respect he was giving her, I made sure to let him know, but that’s it….

Oh no doubt JJG that’s why I feel blessed to have close relationship with my father who’s opinion I value more than that of anyone else. But even he knows that I never come to him expecting “the” answer but that I want his perspective and even then there’s no guarantee I’ll even use it.
