because your partner hates him/her?
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
Hmmm... No. But I would try not to let my partner know that I'm in contact with my friend lol :p
BTW, Pinky, it seems something is bothering you these days; what is it?
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
nope, unless he had a valid reason.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
Most probably unless the reason was nonsense.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
no, that'd be a perfect situation to tease and annoy your spouse.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
My best friend continued our friendship despite her husband hating me......my fiance broke off a friendship b/c I hated her.......personally, have not been in this situation....yet.
Depends on WHY. If he has a valid reason, then yes. If he dislikes that person without any basis for that dislike...then "no".
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
Yes
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
If I dont cut my ties with the friend, will it be considered half cheating?
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
I would and dare I mention I have, regardless of their reasons being acceptable or not. I gave up on a friend that was the most sweetest back in school, just because the one I was in a relationship with, wasn't so okay with it.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
If someone were to disrespect her then sure
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
The only way I would give it up is if the reasons being stated were valid and made sense to me.
If she disrespected him or had done something unacceptable.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
I would try to see what are her reasons. Then I will decide.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
Only if there was a good reason to give up that friend.

I wl assume you are asking what one would do knowing that the hatred for the friend is not justified. Well to be honest, i am tempted to say that i wl not cut contact with my friend when i know my partner is at wrong HOWEVER i think things change when you are married. In life, there are so many compromises one has to make especially to make a marriage work and though i am a staunch believer of going by what i believe is right, however at times you just have to let go and there is no other option. As i am writting this, my mind is saying no this can't be right because then it would become a pattern for your partner to make their demands fulfiled because they wl know you wl do it. But honestly, how many of us would really dare give our marriage a tough time for a friend?! I am sure not more than 10%.

*If your spouse is making such a big deal out of something not so major such as giving up your friend because they don't like it, then I don't know what to say. Of course if the friend is a bad influence on you, or your spouse then you should definitely leave them. But not just because it's your husband's/wife's whim.

It may not be fair but it is possible to dislike a person for no apparent reason or what if your partner thinks your friend is a fake and you dnt agree but at the end of the day its a subjetive thing? What do you do then? What if it comes to your partner giving you an ultimatium that its either them or your friend and you have to pick?
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
i won't do so without any valid reason.

If a husband or wife threatens divorce UNLESS their spouse ends a friendship completely (just b/c they dislike the person....without any valid reason).........then just how committed were they to their spouse to begin with?
If my fiance ever threatened end our relationship over something like this....then our "issue" would become HIS committment to me.......Heck I'm not sure if I would want to continue building a life with someone who can throw it all away over something like this.
Re: Would you cut contact with a friend...
I wont obviously cut ties just because my partner feels threatened and is insecure about our relationship. I will try to put sense into her mind first. So I hope she better has a very solid reason. But I will be really disappointed though if I find out my partner is this insecure.

I agree with you! Such a person does show a negativity which can be troublesome for future however i still think most would risk a friendship over a marriage even if the latter also seems bit shaky.
