Would you ever stop being friends with someone because they are friends with another person you dislike a lot?

[Still-alive]

Would their friendship with someone you dislike cause you to stop being friends with them?

Yes i would stop being friends with a person who continued being friends with someone I dislike

No I wouldn’t stop being friends with them

It depends (please explain)

[HappyWoman34]

Well, I think it’s stupid to dump a friend over your friend’s choice of friends, even if you don’t understand why they’re friends with that person after something horrible or ongoing abuse that you’ve experienced from the person you dislike. Unless they’re doing something illegal and dangerous and they could drag you down with them through your mutual friends. I’ve had this experience before and I kept my friends and avoided the friend of theirs. When he badmouthed me and made up lies and emotionally abused and stalked me, it was hard not to get involved and bitch about him to my friends, but I remained nice. Then he looked like the troublemaker he was and he eventually left me alone. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. That’s my suggestion. Take whatever might be useful from it.

I don’t know, I guess it would depend on why I dislike that person. If they did something to harm me, or cause me emotional distress then I would certainly hope that none of my friends would be friends with her, but I can’t and don’t control what my friends do or whom they like. But if they did something that really hurt me and a supposed friend completely ignored that and remained friends with them, then they have chosen a side so NO, I would not be friends with them anymore!

It depends. If i dislike them because they're just not easy to get on with, that's on me. But if I dislike them because they're a asshole, i don't wanna be friends with people who think assholes are good people.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Nah, because the chances are I'm probably friends with someone another friend of mine dislikes.

I'd just prefer not to hang with my friend at the same time they're with the person I dislike.

[petitedollbabee]

Yeah. I cut a lot of people off from my life in my teens after they started hanging out and becoming friends with my r*pist, abusive ex. They became friends with him AFTER finding out what he had done to me. And then they acted as if I was a horrible person for cutting them off.

[J060170]

I haven’t stopping friends with one of my best friends but her boyfriend makes it very difficult. Lots of red flags with him. He purposely keeps her away from everybody else. Even when I go out with them, he purposely alienates me and anybody else we are with. Sometime she asked me to go places with them, but I always decline now. I’ve made it very clear to her what I see and she has acknowledged it, so she knows. I’ll always be her friend though.

[420Rachel]

Nah, they can do their thing and me and my friend can do our thing. As long as the person I dislike isn’t steering my friend down a bad path I don’t care who their friends with outside of our relationship.

[420Rachel]

*they’re >.<

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yes, I've cut off friendships for that reason before. I get mad with people easily but almost never do I dislike anyone so it's usually for some good reason.

[AsaKyo]

If that person their friends with has been a dick to me and I have a valid reason for disliking them and they still continue to be buddy buddy with them and ignore my feelings concerning them, then yes, I would stop being friends with them

[AsaKyo]

*they're

Oops, my bad lmao

[menina]

I've been in this situation but I didn't stop being friends with them. But it makes things a little bit harder.

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on why I dislike the other person. If they're actively mean to me then I have a valid reason to not like them. If it's for shallow reasons then it's my problem.

[DaisyM23]

It depends on the reason of why I don't like them and how close I am with the friend

[SnowedIn]

I can't see circumstances under which I'd stop being friends with them.

[Guardian45]

It depends. I have LOTS of friends whose friends I don't like, but it doesn't bother me.

On the other hand, my cuz is a BIG DUMPtard and I have disowned him!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, I wouldn’t stop being friends with them

[douride2]

It would make very little difference unless they were trying to include them in our outings.

[lottiebannotie]

No not if it was a close friend I've been on both sides of this personally

[Dinosaursandanime65]

No. 🦖🌊kk
