If you don’t then why? How do you handle them?
I know my mom can not stand my step dads childhood friend because he is a total douchebag. She prefers not to be in his presence and I can’t blame her.
Anywho, I just lost my very good guy friend because of his cousins. I really really cared and loved him a lot. We were taking our relationship to the next level. Anyway, he is very close to his cousins. But they are total losers. One of them got out of jail two years and the other is an alcoholic. They both have no jobs, gang affiliated and live off their poor mother. My friend thinks they are so cool and loves talking to about them being in a gang. I just change the subjects. They thing he is so the opposite from them. Hell he even served our country in the military for 6 years. I never talked bad about them in front of him or was rude to them. However, my friend thought it would be cool if we all could hang out together frequently. Anyway, it blew up his face when me and his cousins got into an argument a couple of months ago over money. Since then my friend and I have not spoken. I’m pretty bummed about it.

Do You Get Along With Your Spouses Or Significant Others Friends?
Posted on August 31, 2010.
I wish I knew. My wife has a few sort-of friends, but she never invites them over or introduces me. Now, you may think that sounds suspicious, but it’s just who she is. We’ve been married 24 years, and she has never had many really close friendships.
Ya…for the most part they like me better than they do him anyway.
I love his friends, he has good taste in people, what can I say? We all get along great to the point I care about them and would consider them my friends too, although he always has first dibs. 🙂
The ones that I’ve met (they have been all female), sure. That doesn’t mean I want to hang-out with them (and I don’t).
Why would you get into an argument with people you barely know? That part made little sense to me.
Yes, my husband had friends that i couldn’t stand and i worked hard to be respectful around them and did my best to not spend too much time around them. When we moved out of state the friendship sort of died out but he still sees them now and then if we go back. I don’t have to like the people he likes and my husband respects me enough to never make me be apart of all the time he hung out with them. I never thought to call his friends names or make judgment calls on him… i love and respect him too much for that.
I have friends he hates as well and we’ve kept up our friendships even though we are all living in different places now. I don’t ask him to hang out with them very often and he is respectful when it does happen.
Life is all about learning to spend time with people you don’t like and making it still pleasant. There isn’t a job out there where you’ll like everyone and yet you have to just deal with it anyway.
