Where do you fall?

It happens. Friends do not like each others' boyfriends and girlfriends and it leads to many awkward situations and sometimes broken relationships. I know a lot of people who have extremely rude and inconsiderate boyfriends or girlfriends and, when the friends speak out, tension forms. Here is what I think about the matter: if your boyfriend or girlfriend is a nice, caring person and obviously treats you well, then your friends should have no reason to dislike him or her. A lot of times friends can get jealous and will act like there is something wrong with someone's boyfriend or girlfriend when, really, there is something wrong with them. At this point, it is good to talk to your friend about the situation, explain how you disagree with them, and hope that your friend comes to their senses eventually. On the other hand, there are other occasions when friends don't like someone's significant other because they are not nice and do not show signs of being a good, faithful partner. If you are in this situation, this would be a good time to stop and think about their point of view and to maybe revaluate what your friends are saying. You never want to be that person who gets the "I told you so" lecture. Now, if are one of those people who are so wrapped up in their relationship that they can not tell if their friends are being over-dramatic or if their girlfriend or boyfriend is really a loser, I do not know what to tell you. Hopefully, you never find yourself in a situation like this.
