Or, do you have friends who are always changing plans with you and are not reliable at all? If so, how come they remain your friends? Is it out of sympathy or love? Do you feel sorry for them and wish they woud be more like you? Do you find it irritating when plans change and wish they were more like you in being reliable and sticking to a plan?

Yeah, you sound like me. The only best friend I now have is my hubby of 9 years this month. He is very reliable and very trustworthy. He is like my Dad in that what he says is good and he never renigs (sp?)on his word or promises.

congrats on your anniversary this month. i had friends in the past,but the good ones tend to move away. one best friend moved to the uk. the others who claims to be friends are just after something. my hubby is also like my father. i have prayed for a hubby just like my dad, and God answered yes.

Yeah, I must have prayed as a child for a man like my Dad. The only thing my hubby does not do like my Dad is handywork around the home.
But, I guess in the whole scheme of things, that is not as important as his word. Right?

You have just characterized my best friend since 3rd grade. Why I remain friends with her....good question~ I have grown to love her and it is just her typical, so I remain best friends with her. We schedule a get together, she cancels the last minute. She says she will call and then doesn't...this goes on and on. BUT..when i really need her, she is there for me. If I am in true need of a friend, I can count on her... I guess that's why she will always be my best friend.

Hi, Well I definetly know I can trust a couple of my friends, leave my wallet full of money around and I know if I leave it, it would still be there, untouched, thats the trust I have with my few friends... But I wouldnt get into the habit of leaving wallets lying around...

Most of my friends are good at making plans and following through. One couple I am friends with are really bad about being excited to go do something with you and then backing out at the last minute.
Still we stay friends, because I really enjoy spending time with them, and can count on them to help me when I need them. It's just travel plans with them nearly always fall through, so I've learned to always invite other people so it's not a total loss when they drop out.

I think any plan could be changed but to be a friend a communication is necessary.
If we are friends, any trouble you have in sticking to our plan is understandable.
Vice versa.
To be friends is to trust and understand each other. Don't you think so?

Yes, I do believe my friends are reliable. And I always thank God for having friends like them. Nobody is perfect and I think we already know each other so much that we understand whenever some of us change plans or sometimes flake out on us. Most of my friends have a problem with being on time on our dates, this irritated me at first and I tell them about it. But some things just don't change, so I was the one who made some adjustments. Now I take my time when I meet them so that I won't wait that long for them to arrive. Also I initiate that we meet at some mall so that I could window shop if and when they are late. I am not justifying their tardiness it's just that I cannot let this one petty thing affect our friendship. Maybe it's just a matter of accepting them as they are as they accepted me as I am.
