A tragic incident faced by a friend which ended with separation of both parties. There were so many reasons including lack of confidence, misunderstandings, issue of ego and likewise. Do you feel that you can make a friendly relation, either with b/f or g/f and also with other relations too. Surely then there would be some traits making all so good :) Do you think it depends upon person to person? Both parties are equally responsible or ONLY one has to sacrify?

I don't think there are any simple answers to making a good, friendly relationship, but there are some important things. Honesty is always best. Even little "white" lies can get blown out of proportion, resulting in hurt feelings, so it's best to "speak the truth with love." Forgiveness is also a must. We all make mistakes and need to be given opportunities to learn from those mistakes and make up for them. Ideally, I think both parties should be equally giving, but it seldom happens that way. Love is a willingness to be inconvienced. (But not as a regular doormat!)

Hi Aliasad! What sort of relations you are asking? I think these are like husband-wife relation, isn't it? Yes, relationship can be strengthen if understanding is there. I think only sincerity can play a vital role. I strongly believe in it and you are right that traits are different with respect to peoples. Thanks
