I have often heard that we need people no matter how self sufficient we think we are and there is this other saying that 'always burn bridges behind you" but i sometimes get a little confused when we discover that the peopel we think are our best friends are actually the very ones that are working against us,now my question is what would you prefer to do when you discover that your friend is actually working against your progress,would you try to make up and just continue or you break up once and for all.?

For my opinion, I think is depends on your feel. If you feel very unconfortable with your friend because they actually working against you, then I think break up is better. For me, I just have this experience. My is not friend but is boy friend. I like him but when I know he working against me and I feel doubt in it, I feel unconfortable, I think very very long to decide but at last I decided to break up. I try my best to make up but if you feel doubt, it really very difficult to help on it oledi.. anywhere, just is my little comment on it.. =)

Don't rush to make decision to go on or break up.why he\she does that,there must be reasons,find out the the reasons.If he\she does that on purpose you can burn bridges ,if not,you should consider to go on.A friend is better than a enemy.

Hi byola of course we need people,and we will have good friends, and bad friends so we just sort out our feelings, and if this friend is working against me then I break it off, as that is no longer a friend, Afriend stands behind you not matter what,so if this person acts against you , he or she is not longer a friend, I just say goodbye, and that is that. There is no use in trying to make up once the damage is done.

Hi! As for me, what's the use of continuing any kind of relationship when you already have doubts on the loyalty of the other person? When distrust is already looming into the relationship it cannot grow any longer into something worthwhile and productive because the two main ingredient of a happy worthwhile relationship is built on trust and respect, without this two, how can we say we have a true friend on that person with whom we cannot trust? There's no point at all to go any further into this kind of friendship, I do burn bridges accross to make a full stop on this kinds of relationships. It will not make us a better person if we do go on.

FRIENDSHIP should be based on trust..and helping one another is one of its main values. if you discover someone close as the one who is hindering your progress on purpose, it would be better to ascertain their motive for doing so. If it is caused by envy, then, that person is no friend at all to you. However, if he is doing it for your own good, and has no other way of stopping you of your intentions, then you must clarify your issues. Is your goal more important than your friendship? or vice versa. But if that supposed friend is working against you to foil your dreams, then breakaway, immediately. A friend is supposed to help you whether they understand what it is you're aiming for..

If it were me, I'll ask about their motives to messed-up with my work. If the reason is acceptable, I just continue my work, but if it's not, then she shouldn't be bothered to be my friend any longer.

Loyal friend are the ones that will stay with us through thick and thin. They are the kind of people who will understand and accept us no matter what kind of person we are. And it will be a depressing feelings if we suddenly discover that they are also the cause of our downfall or failure. Especially if they stab us at the back. But then we can only measure true friendship if during turbulent times they still behind us. We can say they are loyal if things will turn for the worst they will never change ship and never leave you alone in a deserted island. But if it happens to me I will talk to my friend in heart to heart manner about the real problem.

I know it is very frustrating to lost a friend. But the mere fact that your friend turn against you, he is no longer your friend. So I suggest a break-up. You don't deserve that guy.

Ya this people sucks.Properly they themselves was betrayed and they fall to the dark force and continue to harbor this hatred and now pass it on to u. Personally for me, i rather break but being in asian culture i don break just like that,instead will now be very careful when dealing with him.I won't not infront of his face and declare war and cease all diplomatic relationship because this will only cause direct confrontation.Instead knowing an enemy has its advantage and especial beneficial dealing one devil that u know rather than an unknown hidden devil.Be as gentle as a dove but as knowledgeable as the serpert. But wat the hell, if things goes out of hand, shitt the person , let the shitt hit the fan !

people are not always those who we think they are.. sometimes people just change for some or no reasons at all. and as we say "change is the only permanent thing in this world" some change for the better, some for the worse and that sucks big time. we just have to deal with them in any ways we can. i mean, in good ways while we still can.^_^
