Hi, everyone, what if you and your sibling were friends with the same person and one day your sibling had i big fight with that friend and no longer wanted to be friends with that person what would you do, would you still be friends with that person even if your sibling no longer wanted to be friends with them, or would you still remain friends anyway?

I would remain friends. I do not let anyone dictate who I am friends with or who I'm not friends with. didn't we go through that as teenagers????? We can be friends with whom ever we want. I can't and won't take on anyone elses issues. That is just to stressful.

Hey, there, i understand what your saying but if your really close with your sibling and the mutual friend really hurt your siblings feelings wouldnt it be difficult to still remain friends with that person.

My gut feeling would be to stay friends with the person. Really, it would depend on what the dispute was about. If the person did something to hurt my sibling in any way, my answer would be different. Blood is thicker than water - that's what I've always been told.

Hello apples99
I think it would really depend on what the fight was over. If it was dissing my sibling, me and my family then I think I would find it hard to remain friends with such a person but if it was something between my sibling and the friend then that would be their problem and nothing to do with me!

Yes of course because it is different with their friendship what do you think?

Good day!!!
Well! I think I will still be friend with her, my sibling may be hurt, but sometimes things get exaggerated by the side of the person who thinks she is the victim... But since I don't know what happened I think I'll stay out of their leagues, to give them time and space to think and talk about the situation, and hoping that they somehow realized that we had been friends.
Happy my lotting!!

I dont know because it really depends on how bad the disagreement is and even though we have the right to be friends with whom ever we choose i think family is really important and i would never want my sibling to feel betrayed i might consider taking a brake from the friendship for a while because i wouldnt want to have to choose sides.

You should be friends with whomever you want to be friends with. The argument is between your sibling and the mutual friend. Not you and the mutual friend. Try to be understanding of both parties though. Understand that the sibling wants time with you and so does the friend. You just need to balance them both. Don't like petty arguments get in the way of a friendship. They're too precious to loose.

It depends on what happened between my sibling and the mutual friend. If it was something the mutual friend did to my sibling that hurt her/him then I wouldn't be friends with that person anymore. However if my sibling and the mutual friend just got into a disagreement over something I would still be friends with that person.

I would still be friends. The misunderstanding between my sibling and m=our mutual friend should not deter my friendship in any way. What has it got to do with my friendship ?
