#friendship problems
the universe: you WILL have to see your ex gf seven days in a row AND you have four projects due this week
me:
actual thing that happened today
so my gf and i broke up a little bit ago and it’s been super awkward cuz we are in the same friend group but we are both still super upset. so today i was like hey are we going to get dinner and my friend was like oh [insent ex-gf’s name here] is going to get chicken, we will just steal it from her and i was just like
what am i supposed to do, steal chicken from my ex-gf who i haven’t talken to in a week. just be like “hey, i’m still mad at you, but i’m really fucking hungry-can i have some chicken” like no
i was wondering if anyone knew how to navigate a friend who has a transphobic “opinion”
this is all serious, not hypothetical, but i will be using different names because i love my friend dearly
my friend Vicky is a cis woman (detrans’d from male if that matters???? i dont think it does) who thinks that not wanting to date trans people because they are trans is valid and okay
this is an opinion that to me is transphobic, so we dont see eye to eye. but Vicky is very trans positive, and very supportive of mine and my parters transitions and trans rights and everything. but that one opinion really sticks out to me
i dont know how to navigate this with her at all. i dont want to give up on our friendship over just that, but i dont know if maybe it is worth losing a friend over. any advice would be helpful right now
hey everyone,
i’ve noticed this across many asks that you guys share with me that people are concerned a lot about the imbalance in friendships. i usually am too - mostly I am the more invested one and end up being hurt. i read an article about it today and found it helpful and I thought that maybe someone here might benefit from it too. sharing the link here: https://www.vox.com/23026672/how-to-handle-a-lopsided-friendship
hope it help you :)
