What do we do when we don’t like our best friends love interest?
I received a DM the other day and they asked me, “What do I do if I don’t like my bestie’s boyfriend?”
That’s a great question. Since our best friends are some of the few people we spend a lot of time with and once they partner up with someone, we often spend a lot of time with their new love as well. And if not, we know we will hear a lot about them. The good and the bad.
What do we do when we don’t like our best friends love interest?
- Be there for them anyway. It’s not our relationship, however, it is our relationship with our friend.
- If your friend is venting, take that opportunity to ask if you can be honest or if you can share a concern you have. If they say yes share your thoughts and feelings, knowing that in the end, your friend is likely going to stay in the relationship anyway.
- Continue to be the safe place for your friend to share their aches and joys.
- Find the good in the partner. It’s there. Build a friendship with them.
And if you are the friend that has the partner that your friends or family don’t like for whatever reason they come up with, set your boundaries and honor them.
Lead with love.
Have a beautiful day 🙂
Sending love your way, Steph
