Your Best Friend vs Your Partner

Hi Sarah! Good question! I agree with your views that if both do not get along well, it would be wiser to keep them separate without inviting ill wrath of either of the two.

I know me and I would try to get them to see the good qualities in each other and let them try to get along at first. If I didn't succeed than I would have to keep them apart.

I agree with you Sarah... We can't make someone like someone else... That is not within the human powers... So it is better to keep them apart and everyone remains happy... :) Happy Lotting!

Well that have happened to me before and i made it clear to them. I told my friend, if you want to ruin our friend ship because o my partner so be it, i wont tell you what to do. And i told my partner, if you want to ruin our relationship because of my friend that mean you werent worth, you have the choice to do what ever you want. I wont force you. Now i get on with my life and dont really care if they hate each other or not. They should learn to settle their problems on their own. IF i am going to spend little time with my friend or partner and anyone is invited i make sure tell them, so if one dont want to come i wont force them. Thats their choice.

getting my best friend and my girlfriend to get along is next to impossible. my best friend from the "she" gender is my ex. :) seriously, i did experience this before, my girlfriend at that time really hated my best bud. and he shared no love for her too. they just got on each others nerve every time we hangout. i quit trying... and i also dumped my girlfriend because if she can't accept my friend who's been around since the day i started liking girls then it would mean that she can't accept who i really am... and there was this other chick too. (different story) ahhh... the good old days. :)

I would do the same... but i will try to pick the things that are similar to them. My partner liked and loved me, my friend liked and loved the same me so perhaps they have something in common even very little. I will try to put together the things that are similar to them and make it the start of them liking each other. Then, simply avoid things that make them really different.

I would also be inclined to keep them apart....until a time when I could get them together with me in a place where we could all talk about it...If it didn't work then....well I would schedule different times with each of them.

I tried that once along time ago. I was dating this one guy and I still had feeling for this other guy. I loved the guy I was with because he was my first love. The other guy was 18 years older and I loved him for another reason. Didin't know it until later that I loved him as a father figure! Anyway I wanted them to be friends and they did meet once,I was also there. Anyway both relationships dissolved. Haven't seen either on in years and don't care if I ever do!

I think i would talk to both of them, they dont need to like each other but at least be nice to one another :)

This is hard for me to answer because I married my best friend. My husband amd I have been together seven years (three years married). I would never be friends with anyone who did not like my husband. You are right though that one cannot make another person like you.

I think it is better to keep them apart.... otherwise it may be difficult to control them......

i would talk with both and explain to both that is important to me they get along bcs both are important to me^^ but sure if they still dont like each other i cant force them so i will first talk with them and if still they dont change their minds about each other i will just continue close to both bcs they have to respect me^^ anyway i wouldnt like if that happened to me^^

If I don't want to lose either one of them, I will definitely keep them really far apart for sure! Because I can't do without any one of them in my life. Just imagine if I need someone to talk to yet it's not convenient to tell my partner, then I need my best friend. If I were to have argument with my best friend, naturally I need my partner to be there for me. Thus both of them are equally important to me even though they can't get along well with each other..
