How do you handle a close work friend befriending someone you dislike?

What do you do in that situation especially if she be inviting them to places and you happen to see them there

The only scenarios that this would even remotely bother me would be if my best friend knew the person I disliked had done something horrible, maybe even unforgivable to me, and still hung with them. I’d be surprised that someone who’s supposed to love and care for me would be hanging out with someone who did something so awful. Another scenario would be me simply side-eying my friend if she had historically talked bad about that person, it would make her look incredibly fake.


Outside of these situations, it would not bother me. My friend does not have to dislike everyone that I do, and I don’t expect her to take on my grievances or personal choices. She may not even agree with my reason (or reasons) for feeling that dislike in the first place. She has the right to think for herself, to decide for herself, and ultimately to pick who her friends are.

You are mature enough to just do your job as is required of you.

You act like an adult and just be civil while you're all together

Well in general how would you feel in that situation

[queenofcardio]

Nothing to handle. It wouldn't bother me

[Asker]

Would you still talk to that friend as you did before?

[Asker]

I’m so sorry I thought you said betrayed

It’s okay she has right to be friends with anyone she wants
