Sometimes my husband and I love to sit down and just ask each other questions that have been on our mind. It doesn’t have to be about a situation that is going on at the moment but maybe we become curious because of something we saw on television, read, or a conversation that we had with someone. Recently I have been hearing a lot of conversation about people having to choose between a friend and their spouse or significant other for one reason or another. This of course got my curiosity going. Yesterday I decided to ask The Husband what he would do if he were in a situation where I asked him to give up a friendship. He said that it would depend on what reason I was asking him to give up the friendship. He said he wouldn’t end a friendship just because I just didn’t like a person for whatever reason. However, if the person did something that offended me, there was no excuse for it. He said that he would first discuss the matter with me, understand the situation, and then make a decision. He further said that he does not want a misunderstanding between us, which could escalate into a grave situation needing the help of divorce lawyers. It looks like he has had friends who have ended up contacting family law attorneys in Jonesboro AR due to marital problems – which sometimes also led to a divorce due to misunderstandings. That is why he said he would try to avoid any kind of situation like that. I told him I felt the same way. I also told him that I won’t just not hang out with a person for no other reason than the fact he just doesn’t like them. There would have to be a really valid reason. My husband and I are a team and I wouldn’t want to put him in a situation to where he felt uncomfortable. Now if he just doesn’t like the friend then I would make it to where the friend and I would hang out with just them and I but other than that I wouldn’t end the friendship.
So now of course I have to ask my readers what would they do. Would you end a friendship for your spouse or significant other? Why? Have you ever been the friend whose friendship ended?
