I have this friend(girl)- we have been friends for almost 2 years but she also has this other closer friend,also a girl who she has been friends with since childhood since they live in the same neighborhood. But this friend of hers is not a really a nice friend, she has this attitude of stealing my friend's crushes. But still my friend remains friends with her- after all that she has done. is her decision right? I can't really stay stop being friend with her since they have been friends for a longer time than we have..

I think that it's up to your friend to decide if she still wants to stay friends with her other friend. You're right. You can't tell her not to be friends with someone else. Just stay by your friend's side. Sooner or later, maybe she'll realize that her other friend isn't really nice after all.

Yeah, it is definitely up to her alone- i am just here to guide and support her whatever her decision is.. but if that happened to me, I would be quite mad and voice out my thought about it, so at least my friend knows I am not happy with what she did.

Well, it's a good thing that you did your part by telling her about what you think of her other friend. Maybe your friend doesn't make it such a big deal. Just be there for your friend no matter what happens and support her decision.

I tell you, "You have a nice friend." Maybe, give the final verdict to your friend with regards to the issue. Someday, she will soon realize if what are the paces to make about that. As a friend, just guide her and protect. Be a good friend to her. :)

I shall try my best to be a good friend to her since she really deserves one. And yes, i agree- I should just not meddle with whatever is happening between her and her other friend, since I think she is mature enough to know what to do.

You friend is really a good one. I can't imagine how she manage to keep a friendship with that person who steals her crushes. You are right then we cannot judge your friend for keeping a friendship with her childhood friend who steals her crushes. have a good day

Yeah, I agree-- she is a really nice person, but sometimes she can be too nice and just lets everyone have their way and do what they want.. I feel bad for her sometimes since she rarely speaks up for herself.

Well, that is very rare. Being friend with a person who is not such a nice person. But maybe for her, she finds this friend of hers nice. Maybe she also has reasons why they are still friends despite everything.

I think that person is not all that bad all the time- she just has the habit of stealing the ones her friends like- since the girl is very outgoing and kind of an extrovert.

Maybe your friend thinks that there is no reason to fight over a guy, so she's letting her steal her crushes. My bestfriend and I back in highschool used to share crushes ^^ anyway, we thought, we just admire those cute looking guys and they're not our boyfriends... so that is fine with us. Sometimes, we kid around and say, "i'm the one who sees him first.." but we won't really fight or feel bad about it ^^ But if your friend's friend is being naughty and steal her official boyfriend then that is something she would not allow.

Yeah, having the same crush isn't really bad. But when one of you makes that crush his or her boyfriends, I thin it is not that fair. Since you agreed only to lie him, not rally have a relationship with him.

Real friendship doesn't measures on how long you've been with each other side. I think her decision was right but your friend must talk to her childhood friend regarding matters that bother her. Honesty, trust, sympathy, empathy,understanding and compassion are the traits of a good friend. You can call a person as your friend if he/she can say whatever she wants. It may hurt but it helps. All you can do is to be with her and advise her about good things in life. Be a positive friend.

Okay, thank you for your advice..I shall try to them. i won't say anything about her friends since I don't know her at all. I'll just be supportive to her and honest.

If the person doesn't care enough and it isn't important enough for her to back away from this friend then it certainly isn't your business to tell her to do anything. She needs to set up some solid boundaries and not let this other person do this to her. She has some obvious issues.

Strange friendship when her friend steals all the other friends crushes if you ask me.If i had a friend that stole my cushes, then i would not be their friend any more.It is a shame that people can not leave other peoples fella alone and go and find their own.Let your friend learn the hard way, that is what i would do.

Hi! I had the same situation between me and my two close friends. Sometimes, we get jealous of our friend's friends. It's pretty normal. And since we are jealous, we tend look at them as bad persons. Therefore we look for mistakes, but the truth is it's just envy. I tried to fix things up back then by confronting the two and then making them friends as well. Just share your friends. :)

Yeah, I think i envy their friendship sometimes... But I am just sharing what my friend is also saying about her friend- she usually lets out the problems she can't tell her other friends to me.

Oh! childhood friendships dig pretty deep, it's hard to separate two good friends that have know each other or almost their whole lives! Just like my group of friends, I have friends who favor one another and just attach themselves to that friend. Pretty much, in my group, everyone just tend to sit with their favorites and talk to their best friend. I don't have a best friend because all my friends are best friends but I feel pretty sad when my friends prefer to talk to their favorite friend in my group. I tend to treat everyone equality. So, it's hard for a friend to even realize the best friend's mistakes because they have been friends for so long and have grown such a bond that the bond is simply unbreakable. It's pretty tough to ignore but you can't just interfere and become the bad guy in the scenario. let your friend discover for herself.

If her decision is right only she can tell. It's not up to you. Sounds to me she has a very good reason to stay friends with her even when that person is stealing her crushes. I would advice you to accept your friend the way she is including her other friends. If you can't do that you won't be friends for long anymore.

wow,your friend is so kind, but i think in that case,she is too over. she doesnt need to let her friends steal what she has. and i think her friends is too greedy. maybe she has another reason why she did it. and only her that know it maybe
