What do you do when you feel pressured to be someone's friend or like someone out of obligation to someone else?
This question has been plaguing me for some time. I have two people who fall into this category. Two people that I am not fond of and would like to stop associating with. The reality of the situation is that it would cause a rift. One would be with my husband and his friend (and I would never want him to lose a friend over this) and the other would be with family.
I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. Forced to try to be friends with people that I don't trust. What do you do in a situation like this?
i understand your dilemma, kate. i am a firm believer in "you are who you hang with". i personally dont see why anyone would have to feel obligated to be a friend to someone. there's nothing wrong with being pleasant and polite when in their presence but if you dont trust this person to be around, how would they make a good friend back to you? since this was posted in june of last year, i sure hope this dilemma has been resolved for you. just passing through visiting. :-)
