What do you do when some one ever keeps to their promise?

ha ha nice question and i have to do nothing because my friend always doing this hmmm very sad thats all

If a good friend breaks a promise it may mean he may have some other circumstances that prevent him from fulfilling his promise. He gives justification and as a friend, we accept it. Once, twice or trice can be acceptable. But if this breaking of promises has become a habit, we have to cut him off. Don't ever believe him any more. Let me remind you on the Aesop fable of 'The boy who cries wolf.' Did the villagers believe him any more? No.

woaini, If you have a friend who keeps breaking his/her promise, that friend is not worth being trusted in the first place. Why believe when you know that they are going to break it in the end? Maybe if they broke their promise once or twice it is still alright as they might have their very good reason to have done it. But if they kept on doing it again and again, it's time to not put your hopes up so high into their promises. I'm sure there are many other friends who are much more trustworthy who will keep to their words. I wont ditch the friendship or give up on them. I just care less about them. After all, if they truly care about us, they would have try their best to keep up to their promises.

Dear woaini_87, Welcome to myLot and I am so happy to see you here Oh yes, it is really very disappointing when friend keeps breaking their promise. Sometimes it is the attitude problem. Hopefully this friend of yours will change this habit. Perhaps you should find out what is the reason that he/she can't keep promises. If it is a lame excuses, then just beware and do not share your secret..in case he/she can't keep it too All the ebst and happy myLotting. Btw, I will PM (personal message to you via myLot) to guide you on myLotting!

hi woaini_87, nice to have you here in MyLot. I had never expect from friends, and I always anticipate people to break their promises. After so many years, I tend to learn not everyone can be trusted, therefore I shall not expect from them, and I will therefore not going to have any disappointment with they do not keep their promise. Just like a simple promise of meeting for dinner, it can be a last minute change, which to me, it's will happen anytime even for myself. So, when we start to lower the expectation from our friends, we will then able to avoid getting upset too often.

If this person always break his promise, I think at the end I will just give up on him unless he really has a valid reason. This shows that he do not value our friendship. He also exhibit himself as a 'not reliable' and 'not trustworthy' person. Perhaps I will treat him just as a casual friend only :)

woaini hi I would give them one more chance then I would say you are not my friend if you cannot keep your promises' unless of course he or she had a damned good reason. fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. that is my credo.

Hello Woaini, Welcome to mylot! And you have start a very nice discussion. If my friend happen to break the promise for the first time, I can accept and forgive them. Or if my friend happen to break the promises once in a while, I think I will still forgive them, provided they know what they are doing and they have apologize for that and they have the reason of breaking the promises. IF they happen keeps breaking the promises, I don't think I can forgive them. I just make me feel annoy ! I hate people keep doing the wrong thing again and again.. But before we can stop bother them, give them a last change please. Do talk to your friend. Tell her how you feel, tell her the exact feelings from your heart, and I hope your friend can get to know her mistakes and what she has done is actually making you worry and annoy! Talk first before you take any ACTION!
