Why we hardly break up with our friends

It might have happened to most of us. That your best friend had said or done something you extremely disliked. Yet you don't usually breakup with your friend. How come we are more compromising towards our friends, and less in our relationships? Perhaps it's because we can give a friend a break; she says something you don't like, you take off for a couple of days and then the issue is cooled down and you both can ignore it. Or maybe because we don't feel the need to change our friends' attitudes, we accept them as they are and are happy with whatever we can get from that friendship, nomatter big or small. Our expections are high in a relationship; I say that's why we tolerate less.

you are absolutely right. we dont feel changing our friends, maybe beacause it doesnt affect us as close as our relationships. Also not being with sb for a while will surely cool down thing. good point.

Yeah that's the expectations darling. You know, there are lots of friends, but usually One, with whom you're in relationship. That's why you give more relatively and you expect more in return. but anyway, Sometimes it just doesn't work, you must accept and get healed, like many other things...
