Friendship, especially strong, time-tested and tested, is a precious gift that must be treasured. Alas, sometimes it happens that when a person falls in love or gets married, the partner (partner) begins to be jealous of his friends.
Suppose a wife does not like that her husband often meets with friends, now and then invites them to visit, goes fishing with them. She shows dissatisfaction, reproaches her husband that he does not appreciate her society, and sometimes even puts an ultimatum: decide what is more important to you, love or friendship! What should a husband do in such a difficult situation?
How to choose between a loved one and friends
When choosing between a friend and a loved one, you need to try so that neither love nor friendship is affected. One can understand the wife's dissatisfaction and jealousy. After all, a woman in love wants all the attention of a loved one to belong only to her. Nevertheless, the husband needs to delicately, politely convince his half that such behavior is not only unreasonable, but also simply selfish.
For example, a husband may refer to the fact that he calmly endures his wife's long conversations on the phone with girlfriends or their gatherings in a cafe, without demanding that the wife stop communicating with them.
It would be useful to make some concessions to his wife, for example, promising that meetings with friends will become more rare, and their visits to their home will be preliminarily agreed with her. To make the wife calmer about the visits of her husband's friends, it is also necessary to minimize conversations in her presence on such purely male topics as sports, fishing, politics, technical characteristics of cars, their repairs, etc.
And, of course, drinking alcohol when meeting with friends should be moderate! Otherwise, few wife will agree that the husband communicates with such people, getting used to this addiction. As a result, quarrels and scandals on this topic will constantly arise in the family.
Why you shouldn't choose between love and friendship
Both love and friendship are wonderful, ennobling feelings. They make a person better, kinder, more decent, inspire him to do good deeds. Both from true friendship and from sincere love, a person receives a lot of positive emotions. Therefore, the very formulation of the question - which is more important, love or friendship, is very strange.
If such a question arises, most likely something is wrong with either love or friendship. Hence, one of these feelings is insincere, feigned.
We must firmly remember: true friends and girlfriends will not interfere with love. They will not claim personal space, they will always understand, agree with the choice and even support. If a friend, like a capricious child, takes time, it means that he cannot be considered a close person at all.
