Question - (22 January 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 January 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey, I have been dating this boy for about a month now and he wants to move to the next level and start seeing each other. I do really like this boy and he said he has the same feelings, but my friend doesn't like him and is telling me not to get with him. When I mention that he is coming over to see me she always has a go at me and says "you have to end it, he's trouble." When I ask why she thinks he's trouble, all she says is "I just have one of these feelings he's no good". Due to this, every time my friend and I meet up, she has a go at me and I'm starting to take it out on him. I have asked her and she has said if you get wth him, I'm no longer your friend. I dont know what to do as I do really like this boy and do want a relationship with him, but I dont want to lose my friend over this. What should I do??

None of this 'bros before hos' bullshit. A real friend welcomes your partner with open arms, treats them with respect, tells you their fears and doubts about that person and the lets the issue be.

This girl is not acting like a friend. Has your boyfriend done ANYTHING to earn the ire of this bitch you call a friend? Are you going to let every relationship go because your 'friend' doesn't like them (or more likely, doesn't like the fact that you aren't spending every waking second with her alone)?

Basically, tell her that, friend or no, she WILL respect you and your relationship with this man, and if she continues to judge him based on her own problems, then your friendship is terminated forthwith.

petina1 agony auntSounds like she could be jealous. You need to let her know that you are sorry that she doesnt approve but she must let you make that decision and find out for yourself if there's anything there with him because you are curious. Also you would appreciate her being there for y ou if you do make mistakes, because that is what friendship is about. Let her know if you do start seeing him that you will always find time to see her and not neglect the friendship you have, it is important to you.
