I have some close friends, luckily at the minute I’m not in a relationship. What do you do though when you have an issue with both of them?
Friends that don’t like the person you’re in a relationship with and vice versa, how do you deal with it?
Would you give up a friend in order to be in a relationship?
Or do you see it as they should accept you and your friends too etc…
I know certain people are going to think this is aimed at them but I just want other peoples views on it!

I'd give up a friend to be in a relationship. At the end of the day, I know the friend will forgive me and if they don't, then they're not much of a friend...
Me personally I'd just wait and see how it pans out. They may not like each other through ignorance most probably because they want all your attention and don't want anyone else to have it.
If after a while it's still there I'd try and ignore the tension but if one was being way out of line I'd have to confront them and depending on the outcome would stop seeing them or not.

I wouldnt give up a friend for anyone. If i get along with someone and have a good friendship, why should i give them up because of a persons jelousy. I wouldnt really ask them to accept them, just to accept me and that i do have friends.
Likes been said before, friends are always there, relationships just tend to come and go at times.
I wouldnt be in a relationship and think right, in order for us to continue being together get rid of so and so. What rubbish, its like someone trying to control you and have there say in who you can and cant see.

We never got any further feedback from you on this thread. What do you do in these situations?

Nope, you cant force people to accept things they dont like. Best just keep them apart.
Personal opinion, love is blind and friends will always be the ones looking out for your best interests when you cant see them for yourself. Thats why i always try to trust their judgement. Having said that, while i'd take their advice on board, i would never break up with someone purely on someone elses say so.

Hmm... never been put in a situation like that, but firends should always come first (unless they're made after you got into that relationship). But as the last few weeks have taught me - friends can cause you grief as well.
I'd try and get them to accept each other, but take everybody's views on the situation and make up my own mind based on the situation.

I dont think you should give up on your friends because they are always there for you. Girlfriends (or boyfriends) will come and go but your friends last longer.

I would say that it depends how strongly that person felt and the reasons for them feeling that the other person was someone they couldn't get on with.
I know, for instance, that my wife doesn't get on with some of my friends (she doesn't suffer fools gladly!) but she is ok if I wanted them to come over.
If you are in a relationship, then a big part of that relationship involves trust and compromise on both sides. Unless their reasons are that they have a strong belief that this other person will harm you in some way, then you should find a comprimise. Communication is the key, if you can be honest with your partner then you should be able to sort anything out.
Family is a different matter, however, and something that seems to be unchangable at present...

A close friend no, I'd not give them up, they are hard to come by and there is no guarantees that a relationship will work out.
By the same merit I would not be dictated to on who I should be going out with by my friends. I would expect them to respect my choice and if they didn't I would just keep them apart as much as possible.
The main problem with close friends is they do not see the person you are in a relationship with when you are just 'you two together' and so can only base there opinions on 'social' aspects. Quite often the two situations are completely different. No one can know what goes on personally between two people.
I take it from the other comment in here that you and Bullett split? Oh well, that's life.
