My partner works shifts and is knackered when he gets home. This lib dem group seeks him from time to time for meetings and to distrubute leaflets. He gets very stressed because he feels demands on him. Even so he is always trying to please them because he wants them as friends. They have their own family and never help him with anything if not for the party.
Would you do this just to keep friends?

No most of the time your friends have similar or the same motives and beliefs as you anyway that's why they get along -- but it isn't healthy to be forced into a lifestyle.

God never! No one should feel that they have to constantly be at someones beck and call just to keep them as friends. They are not friends, they are just people who are taking advantage of him and obviously have no interest in him when he is not helping them out.

No. In fact, it already happened to me. I am a Republican, yet my friends are Democrats. I told my friends that I plan on sticking to being a Republican because my ideology tends to lean to the right and they respect that as I respect their ideas. Even after I said that, we are still friends.

no I'm a picky person and I choice my friends wisely.. any obsticals like that would call for action of me not being your friend maybe just networking buddies meaning i'll call you and you call me when we need something in our field of choice.
Friends are to be bonuses in your life not a burned!

My 14 year previous atheist daughter from time to time attends babies team with the neighbor boy. She tries to bypass on "relaxing night" and omit bible learn nights. Even on "relaxing night" they do somewhat of speaking approximately Jesus yet she especially plenty only tunes it out.

no, definately not. if these people don't want him for a friend (outside the party) then he really shouldn't be asking for their friendship. it sounds like they are only using him for their political cause.

Certainly not! Friends are friends regardless of your beliefs or hobbies. They accept you for who you are. He needs to find new ones!
