Not around here. My friends encourage each other to work through the differences, especially if children are involved. If it's a violent situation, the opposite is true.
Quoting: pool Good for you.
I have seen so many "friends" talk their friends out of a wonderful life.Few understand this is it, this moment, gone now, here again life, gone. Most when they meet and habitat with another are drawn in some manor, some need some desire, yet they let the little things build up somehow and get in the way, they forget.
If people had more friends to remind them of that time, that spark, that thing they told them about this person in the first place, if they had more friends less willing to hear only the bad stuff.
More partners less willing to go to friends and only speak when it is bad, and never tell others of the beauty, the joy they experience.
Women, perhaps men (I dont) seem to work on this level, running to friends when the going gets tough, looking for the friend they left sitting alone, who most likely would ultimately like to know if there were a problem that could be remedied.
If they somehow would not let "life" get in the way, and continue to connect as they once did.
