In honesty, you should be able to level with your friends and say to them, look I'm not going to dump him- but our friendship is too strong to let that ruin what we have, isn't it? [ fire_hazzard's advice column | Ask fire_hazzard A Question ]

Advice_x33 answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 5:46 pm: Well..first of all, your friends should understand that you like them and i dont think they are true friends if they dont understand that..
However
guys come and go, and friendship seems to last longer, so, do you think you and your boyfriend are going to be together for a while? because if you arent, then in the end you would have lost 2 friends and a guy...
xoxbellabebexox answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 5:23 pm: tell your friends that they have to respect your intrest and what you like or else they are really good friends so you might want to think whats more worthy of your trust.
tell me what you decide
HyPeRhUnNi420 answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 3:51 pm: dont brake up with him because of what your friends say. you should be able to make your own decisions without your friens telling you what to do. try and make them see why you like him so much and then maybe they can learn to like him to.

MakalahLea answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 1:19 pm: You cannot let your friends dictate how you live your life. If this guy treats you right, respects and loves you and you two are happy together stay with him. Ask your friends why they dont like him. Be open to listening to their opinions about him. Perhaps you can change their opinion of him by telling them all of the wonderful aspects of your relationship. Perhaps not. The biggest point of this is, if your friends love and respect YOU, they will not try to ruin a perfectly good relationship that you have because of their own opinions/desires. There is a chance that they are unhappy with him because your being with him means that they get less of you so try to spend quality time with them whenever possible. Let them know that they are still important in your life by showing them instead of just telling them. Be honest with them and Im sure that everything will work out for the best. Best Wishes!

MCalways answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 1:18 pm: Talk with your friends. Ask them why dont like your guy friend. If they say something like he's a bad person, and things like that nature. Then reassure them that he is a good person, and if something happens then its going to be on you. But since they are your friends they have to just be there and support you if you make mistakes..thats what a friend is there for. I dont think your gonna lose your friends babe! If they are true friends then they will be there for you reguardless! [ MCalways's advice column | Ask MCalways A Question ]
icey0990 answered Wednesday January 5 2005, 1:12 pm: Have a talk with your friends. Tell them this guy really makes you happy and you want them to be happy for you. Let them know you'll always have time to hang with them and he'll never get in the way of the friendship between the 3 of you. Ask them to please understand and that your really happy. See their reaction. If they seem to understand you..then great! But if they still want you to break up with him..you only have a few choices.
(A) Ignore them and keep with ur bf and keep your friends. When they bring him up continue to defend him and ask WHY they are so much against him
(B) break up with your bf. Still be friends or friends with benefits
(C) stand up to your friends and tell them to stop harassing you.
I personally would choose A because i would hate it to have to break up with someone just because they dont like him. That isnt right! PLus...these girls are supposed to be your friend. Its ok to voice their opinion..but they shouldnt harass you about him.
hope i helped
