What does it take to ruin a great friendship?

I honestly don't have too many great friendships with females because of the fact that I find a lot of other women are dramatic and I really don't like having a lot of drama in my life. With that said, I think that the main thing that you have to have with another woman in order to be able to have a great friendship is that you have to think in similar ways and you have to have a lot in common. You also have to realize that disagreements can and will happen and that you should be able to work through those issues as opposed to letting them push you away from your friend.

I will consider this word 'distrust'. I have seen long term who got separated not because they felt they weren't compatible any more but because they couldn't trust themselves anymore.

A great friendship is that kind that was already tested through time, and tested over the years of being with each other and standing by each other and what they have been though... What ruins a friendship... is that when one betrays the other, when the trust given is breached, broken and when the other side of the friendship has had too many things to do that is already hurting the other.

I can tolerate a friend as much as I can. But if she starts really saying things behind my back which could be really below the belt, then I do think that it will be the end of the friendship.

If I wanted to put this in one sentence, I would say if I feel that I'm not respected. It can be gossiping behind my back, using me for stuff, not keeping loads of promises, trying to seduce my boyfriend, betraying me for someone else, laughing at me and degrading me in any means, neglecting me (when I'm trying to make programs together), dissing my taste and style... that kind of stuff.

Its is not easy to find great friendship for life. Friendship does really take time to grow. We need other people in our life whom we can rely on other than the family and significant other we have. Great friendship can be built in trust and deeper understanding of each imperfections. Respect is also the key note here.

Trust and respect is the best key to have a great friendship, mistrust and disrespeact is also the key to ruin a good friendship. I'm sure no one will make a friend to dis-honest person. And the friend we have also reflect the our personality. Like the quote " Birds of the same feather flocks together". But of course there are times that we can not avoid to do something bad to our friends, the fact that we are not perfect, and still we are different from each other, for no human is the same in all aspect, misunderstanding is still possible.

I think I have been pretty lucky with my friends. I never had many friends but the few i have are the best. And we have had disagreements from time to time, but we have never been in a fight over it.What makes my friendship good with my mates are that we can talk about everything, and if we disagree with something we let the other peson know about it. A good friend is a friend that tells the other what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. -example: a friend of mine came on visit. He told me he had cheated on his wife. So i told him what he needed to hear.That he was an idiot.And if he still loved his wife he should start crawling. If she took him back he should keep on crawling and do exactly as she tells him. And so he did. They are still happily married . Im glad it worked out for him. But something i CAN say about what ruins a friendship for a guy, is if a friend does things with my girlfriend that neither non of them should be doing. He was a friend of a friend,but you might say we didnt talk much after that.We didnt even fight, why waste energy on fake people? Other than that,lies is something that dont belong in any relationship. What does it takes to ruin a friendship?- the same things that ruins any kinds of relationship, i would think.

friendship between you and your friends is a big happiness and fortune in life.Thus you have something in common,same interests,similar likes or dislikes,then you would began talking.Be sure to be good,honest to your friends so that your friendship should last long.Tolerance for her/his no good things,do it as well as you could.because you're not perfect,your friends tolerate you at the same time.But if the no good kills your friend,should tell him and help him as you could.
