Is love more important than friendship?

I would choose my fiance over my friends but to each his own... I only choose my fiance over them as they have proven to not be welcome to my fiance. They feel he has changed me too much whereas I do not feel that I have changed at all... I know that a mirror reflects only what you want to see, and that friends reflect what is obvious, but my friends do not know as they have not been around me.

But why did your friend say such a thing? Was he after the same girl himself? Or was he jealous? Didn't you ask him what harm your relationship with your girl was doing to him? Your question "Is love more important than friendship?" confuses me too. As far as I am concerned, there can't be love without friendship. Cheers and happy mylotting

I'd tell my friend to stuff it, to be honest. They aren't much of a friend if they make me choose between my love and them. For someone that could potentially be that person you spend the rest of your life with, would you wanna choose your friend over that? My girlfriends tried that with me. They said they wouldn't talk to me until I agreed to stop seeing him. I told them it wasn't happening. 7 months later I'm still with that guy and they've finally accepted it. I left it up to my friends. They could bail or support me on my decision. I think unless you're absolutely sure on your love, you should pick friends over them, but if it's something you're confident on, why destroy that? you can find new friends but it can be really hard before you find someone you can really love. In your situation, it depends on how long you and your love were together before the break and if YOU feel that it was worth losing a friend over in the longrun.

Well I think that depends on the reason why my friend want me to leave my partner. In your case I assumed that your friend has a pretty strong reason and unfortunately at that time you were not aware of that. I think generally my friend won't post such a demand on me. After all, a good friend want you to be happy, not to occupy you.

I think love is more important then friends because you only find love once,and if your friends are really your friends they will be happy for you,and still be friends with you even if you do spend more time with the one you love.

In your case if you know your friend for long time and you have full faith in him. that is you know his character and all. You may be able to take suitable steps. For choosing your life partner you don't have to take the advice of your friend. Its your life and iyour friend can point out why you should leave your lover.The you mat get the idea of the situation. You may be able to avoid your lover or your friend according to their reasons they put forward .

actually what happened in your case is not at all correct it seems. but it could have happened other way round.then you have thought taht you took right decisio0n,. actually it depends oj the situation. nothing i sgreat or less.

I think that with REAL friends you should never have to choose bertween LOVE and FRIENDS. Both, love and friendship are great parts of our life. When we grow, marry and have family, we often break contacts with friends because of different reasons. But, you can meet friend after 10 or more years and you are still friends.

Oh,I'm very curious why the two of relations couldn't owe at the one time .To me,I'll persuade my friend to accept my lover.The two are very important for me.

Love should go hand in hand with friendship. Your situation...Ultimatums don't fit in with love or friendship. You chose wisely. It just didn't work out.

both love and friendship are important in life, both have thei importance in their own way. Love makes someone really feel special and friendship also has its importance but i think one should be friend with the one he loves and thus both will be with him always.

If I had a friend demand that I dump my lover if I wanted to see them again, I'd dump them in a heartbeat. Regardless of how much someone hates a friend's SO, they're there to support the friend, not judge and structure that person's life to their preferences. I had a friend whose boyfriend I hated with the passion of a million burning suns, but I made a point to let her know that I loved her, would be there for her, even if I couldn't be in the same room as her boyfriend. I never bashed him to her, never harassed her about him, and never demanded she leave him. And, when she broke up with the pig, I was there to help her through that. And she's done the same thing for me. :) Demanding you break up with someone for their company is petty, childish, and indicative of how good a friend that person really is. JMO, acourse.

yes,i think love is more important.When you get in love with someone,the person maybe will become the one who will live with you together in many years as far as to the end of life.The friend is also important.But if he or she is your real friend,he or she should understand you and hope you can be happy,do you think so?

It is quite hard a question to answer.Different people may have different choices.But for me,I may choose my friend if only one I can choose between them.(Of course,the friend is one of my present best two friends.you know,not all the people have the rights.)But as hard as to make the choice,to tell the reason is hard for me,too.Maybe I do that without reason,my heart tell me to do so at the first time I come across this question.

i think your situation is a little confusing. why will a friend tell you that. i mean your relationship with a friend is different than your relationship with your girlfriend. friends support each other they dont leave you just because they dont like the girl you love. i am really confused, i am sure you are too.

There are only to reasons for a female friend to want a guy friend to break up with his girlfriend: 1. She has a crush on the guy and is jealous of the girl. 2. She can see the kind of person that the girlfriend is clearly and she doesn't like her at all and knows the guy friend could do better. Now that said, it could have been either of those with you and your chick friend. But since she wanted to end the friendship if you didn't break up with the girlfriend I would lean towards number 1 as the reason. A girl crushing on someone will do crazy things and giving an ultimatum is one of those crazy things. Have you tried to talk to your female friend since you broke up with your girlfriend? The thing of it is, that at your age, love is going to come and go. Finding love is always important. And a good friend will not dump you if you find love. For a friend to break off your ties, shows that they are not a good friend. A good friend will be there through thick and thin, good lover relationships and bad, they will be there to pick up the pieces when the love relationship ends, or will be there to celebrate it when you get married. A good friend isn't going to give you an ultimatum, unless she has a motive to do so. If it was that your female friend just didn't like the girlfriend, then she wouldn't have given you the ultimatum. My guess is that she liked you a lot, or felt she was in love with you, and couldn't bear you being with a girl that wasn't as right for you as she is. If you haven't talked to this female friend, I would suggest doing so. Call her, email her, something. Tell her that she was right (girls always like being told that) and that you should have listened to her. Ask her out for lunch or coffee or something. Talk to her. Then ask her if she has ever had feelings for you...but only do this if you think you could possibly date her. If you do not think this female friend is someone you could date in the future, or that she isn't worth the trouble, then just move on and find a new friend. Good luck.

It seemed that you were an unlucky guy, you lost your lover and friendship both. why not try to rebuild the friendship if you don't not want to give it up!

In high school, our saying was always "boys will come and go, but friends are forever". Thats true to some degree. Luckily, my fiancee and I have found a balance. I like most of his friends, and he likes most of mine. In the beginning of our relationship, I was very careful about balancing the two, and so was he. I think that true love means accepting one anothers positives and negatives, even if the negatives are the friends. We are currently in a situation with one of my fiancee's friends. We cannot stand his new girlfriend. But, we will never make him choose. Eventually either he will see what we see, or we will have to suck it up and allow this she-devil to be a part of our lives. Either way, he's our friend and always will be.

I would rather say, that you should have sided the "truth"..Hereby, convincing the one at fault, would have been rather tough, but it was worth it..

Both Love and friendship are important things in people'lives .they are necessary and indispensible things through all the time of one's life .but there are some conflicts and contradict between them .in the opinion of my own ,it is ideal abd good to keep a balance .you must have the the confidention in yourself ,your lover and your friends.they are able to be friends under your help .
