Can a relationship work out if both people really love each other and are willing to put in a lot of effort to make it last EVEN IF the guy's friends don't really like the girl? Or will it be too problematic?
It's okay if you honestly don't think it can last, I won't get upset, I just wanna know before I get all too invested.
Thank you!

but yes. a relationship CAN work out even if the other person's friends dont like you or him. im living proof of that. your relationship does not involve your friends or his friends, thats why its YOUR relationship not EVERYONES relationship or THEIR relationship. yuh know ? however, if he is easily influenced by his friends.. that could be a problem. it was for my for a while, but we got through it.. anyone can get through it.. im serious when i say that being in love conquers all. youre probably thinking, "yeah right. shes just saying that." but trust me, im not. if i thought it couldnt work out for you, i would have just said so. :]
but take it from me.. it can work if both people in the relationship want it to work badly enough and dont listen to their friends. problems may occur once in a while [sometimes unavoidable] but thats LIFE. no relationship is perfect. you just have to roll with the punches.. together.
good luck, hope i helped, and if you need anything else, feel free to inbox me :] xxo. [ itdependsonyoux3's advice column | Ask itdependsonyoux3 A Question ]
AdviceMistress answered Friday March 19 2010, 10:04 am: Its hard to say. I'm kind of in that situation now...I'm back with my ex-boyfriend and before his friends weren't crazy about me. Right now I get along with maybe two of them...but its hard to say. I care about him don't get me wrong but its weird because he seperates me from his friends a lot since I don't get along with them. What I figure is guys will be guys...if you love him and he loves you thats all that should matter...don't listen to what others say. Its you and him...just don't let any drama go down...its better to stay away from it. You're dating him not his friends you're dating him. I say go for it...listen to your heart but use your head! Good luck! :) [ AdviceMistress's advice column | Ask AdviceMistress A Question ]
jobrolover3725 answered Friday March 19 2010, 1:18 am: yes it's possible. as long as the guy is willing to ignore his friend's opinions and follow his heart! it's always worth a try. you could also try fixing whatever problems you have with his friends. but if they were good friends to him they would see how happy he is with you and want what's best for him. so i say: go for it! :) [ jobrolover3725's advice column | Ask jobrolover3725 A Question ]
Trauma answered Thursday March 18 2010, 7:35 pm: I once dated a guy whose friends absolutely hated me, and I hated them as well (previous drama). It was difficult for the relationship to work, but it did work for several years (it ended for other reasons). If you two really like each other, then that's all that matters. Just let him know that you're fine with him still hanging out with his friends, and that you don't want him to be put in the middle and have to choose between you or his friends. Hopefully, his friends can be just as mature and not try to get him to side with them. If it's possible, maybe talk to his friends and ask them why they don't like you. If it's not something you can't work out, tell them that you really care about him and you're fine with him still hanging out with them, but that you'd appreciate it if they didn't try to convince him to break up with you.

A relationship shouldn't be what other people think, It should be about the happiness between you and your spouse. The relationship is about the two of you, Not you, him and all his friends. If you two make each other happy then let it happen. Who cares what his friends think, It's not about them. [ OhMyLucyDarling's advice column | Ask OhMyLucyDarling A Question ]
