Do You Have to Like Each Others Friends???


Love this show until today and Martin and Pam's fights were funny as heck.  Ok, now getting to my point.

When in a relationship for the most part both the woman and man are excited to introduce their significant other to their friends.  Now what happens when your significant other doesn't click with your friends?  Do you try to force the friendship or just let it be?

Just because we are in love with the person we are with that doesn't mean we have to love their friends.  Should we be nice to them and hold civil conversations with them when they are around? The answer is yes.  Do we have to hang out with them 24/7 to force a bond? The answer to that is no.  My hubby may have some friends that I am not to fond of but I tolerate them because they are his friends and I can't tell him who to be friends with.  If they haven't violated him in anyway I can't simply say that person annoys me get rid of them, if this is done then your significant other will resent you for it.  When you think about it the friend was there before you, so yes you can be honest with your significant other about how you feel but that's where it should end.  Same goes for my hubby, there may be some friends I have that he is not to fond of but he can't pick my friends for me either. 

Always remember just because your not best friends with his friends or vice versa it will not determine the outcome of your relationship.  Compromise is the key in a relationship and as long as you have that your all set.

Stay Fab!
