should you get involved in other peoples relationships? is it worth the hassle as most of the time when ever i try to help or advise a friend about there relationship it seems they just go there own way anyway in the end and me feeling silly for letting them know what i really think usually resulting in me wishing i'd just not bothered...i like to be honest most of the time and tell people what i really think but not everyone can take the truth...(that includes me sometimes).

Getting involved in other people's relationships is a waste of time. If you think you can be peacemaker during their disagreements they both end up hating you. If you listne to all their problems then you are giving free counselling and you could be doing othr things for yourself. Most people who have relationship issues will cling to their problems no matter what suggetions you make. Too often, they are thriving on the drama their life generates and really don't wish to change at all.

I am in the same situation with on of my very close friends and now Im just giving her some space to let her do her own thinking for a change. I hope that I did not hurt her. I truly care and love all my friends dearly but sometimes you feel used or torn.
