Friendship Palava
Hello, friends, welcome to my post in which I have discussed "Friendship Palava" as part of my participation in this contest organized by @steem4nigeria
Do you think it's wise to have just one best friend, like someone has one wife? Explain
Yes, I think it's wise to have just one best friend, like someone has one wife, but the friends shouldn't be the type that have something sexually in common.
It is good to have a best friend who can support you when you need, who can advise you when you're facing difficult challenges, who can come through for you, and who understands and knows how to settle disputes. Being married doesn't mean one should terminate his or her friends, but setting boundaries is what one should do.
If you have a best friend and your best friend has another friend whom he/she spends most of the time with, will you be jealous and discontinue? Explain
No, I will not feel jealous and discontinue our friendship as long as my friendship with him or her is not sexually related or whatsoever. There is what we call freedom of association and disassociation, which everyone has the right to make friends, and as long as I am not married to someone, I have no right to decide whom the person follows or not.
Instead, I would just observe and tell the person that it doesn't make me feel happy, and try to know the reason for his or her closeness with the other person before setting my boundaries. I believe that there are many good people in this world which I don't need to fight over friendship or relationships.
Should a married man or woman end their friendships with people of the opposite sex after marriage? Give reasons for your answer
No, a married man or woman should not end their friendships with people of the opposite sex after marriage if the friendship is not sexually related. If it is just a normal casual friendship, it is okay, but keeping someone you have had intimacy with as a friend even after you are married is not right, which someone like me can't even accept.
If you're married, you should have nothing to do with your ex because if both of you so much love each other, then you both would have gotten married to each other, and not you marrying someone else and keeping your ex as a close friend.
Will you end a friendship if your friend keeps on making mistakes or doing things you don't like?
No, I will not end a friendship if my friend keeps on making mistakes or doing things I don't like. The first thing that I would consider for not ending the friendship, knowing how important the friendship is to me, and secondly, if the friend is ready to make a change or not, because mistakes are something everyone can make.
If the friend is not ready to make a change and he or she keeps hurting me by doing things I don't like, then I will set boundaries between us, ending our friendship.
What Is your advice to people with many friends?
My advice to people with many friends is for them to know the kind of people They're keeping as friends. It is better to have a few friends who can come through for you than to have many friends who cannot come through for you. Just choose your friends wisely, is what I can say.
True , why would your ex be your best friend and you're a married that one isn't allowed but any other friends that are casual there's no problem about that
