And see what they say.. If their good friends then they`ll understand! Also tell them that it gets annoying when they keep telling you to dump him.

MummuM answered Saturday February 26 2005, 10:35 pm: I think you should talk to your friends about this all. Explain to them how much you care about this guy and you don't want to dump him. Just because they want you to dump them, doesn't mean that you'll actually do it. They should be happy for you because you finally found a guy that you love. Tell them how annoying everything that they say about you and your boyfriend is, how much it gets to you and how mad it makes you. Also tell them just because you boyfriend hurts you, doesn't mean he's not a great guy inside. And that is what a relationship is about. Sometimes people get hurt and you do fight, but that is just how it goes. And he's still with you, so that must mean something. Try to get your friends to understand your point-of-view. And tell them if they were in a 1 year and 1/2 relationship, you'd be happy for them.

Try for a second to see where they're coming from, and if you still disagree, explain to them you don't appreciate what they say and even though pain has been inflicted, much more happiness has been returned.

I'm sure they say what they say just to try to protect you because they care but they need to know when to lay off. Have a serious talk with them and just be lyke "guys, i'm happy with my boyfriend and as much as you tell me to break it off with him, it's not goind to happen.. i lvoe him too much. you can either accept it or not but lay off with all the negative coment and stuff. i dont need it." and from there see if they lay off. if not u dont need them.
Karen answered Saturday February 26 2005, 10:16 pm: You need to talk to your friends and tell them that their opinions about your boyfriend will not make you dump him. If he hurts you a lot but makes you happy, that's alright. Tell your friends to stay out of your love life and only you can control what you do and such. Also tell them that what they are saying is annoying and making both you and your boyfriend mad at them. Just tell them how you feel about all of this.

FunkyHoMoSapien answered Saturday February 26 2005, 10:16 pm: tell them that even though he hurts you sumtimes, he also makes you happy even more. its not their choice. it's all up to you and since it's up to you, you should just ignore them and live life wit your bf. over time they'll stop, and get bored of trying to break you two up.
