Re: Could you be good/close friends with someone completely different to you?
I think a lot of times those friendships are fake, one sided or both people don’t really invest anything into the friendship. Some women even let old friendships go once they’ve found a guy or get too busy with kids, etc. I think if it’s a relationship worth saving, then both sides will try to make it work. I think guys are more open and honest though, and often times very blunt in relationships. Women still need to work on that because we are always concerned with hurting a friend’s feelings so will tell a white lie instead of the truth. Looking at my husband and his friends I’ve noticed they can share deep secrets with one another, discuss family problems and even rely on each other financially without it getting awkward or breaking the relationship. I’ve noticed though in many South Asian women that once many of them get married, friendships kind of fall apart or are forgotten. It’s new priorities in life which I understand but I think it’s important to hold onto those you make you happy and understand you.
