Depends on two things: where you place your priorities and if the love of your life ended up being a true and better friend.
If you have a true friendship, than I think friendship overrides relationship. If someone in a relationship wants you to dissolve your friendship with another, then something is wrong there. Sometimes a friend isn't really a true friend afterall when put to the test. But romance is a bit of an illusion. After the magic wears off you may be left with neither friendship nor romance. Careful.

Realistically, many do this all the time.
Yes, I've done it too. I miss my friend immensely, but I know she's now happy with her significant other.
When we were hanging out we had this thing that we called "the curse".
Whenever one of us would find a boyfriend, the other's relationship would end. Everytime. We didn't understand why.
Then when we finally both entered our current relationships and they were both good, we thought we were "safe" that the curse was over. What we didn't realize was that it meant the break up of the two of us.
It sounds so stupid and we probably brought it on ourselves with silly superstitious beleifs, but here we are.
We've tried getting together a few times over the last couple of years but that same old friendship feeling is gone. I don't think we'll ever find it again.
But I wouldn't give up the love of my life for her. Nor would I want her to do it for me. I want her to be as happy as I am.

Absolutely not. A true friend will always be there, the love of your life will not. I have a major regret in choosing love over a friend. That love turned out to be a deceitful wench. In the end I lost both.

Depends~
I have had friends in the past who always backstab me ~ and I have dated men who have cheated on me~
As of today I am married to the most wonderful man I have ever met in my life and I would break ties with any friend for him!! Especially if my friends are not really there for me like he is...
If your friends are good to you and always there for you and more like a "sister/brother" to you than a friend and your boyfriend is a jerk (and as women we usually have gut feeling about this) then dump that looser and go have fun with your friends!!

If this person was the kind to stay and raise the kids together, no matter what, and was decent enough to have them with in the first place,
you'd better believe it!
What are we on earth for, if not to reproduce?
Who can we create a family with?
But I'd better be 100% sure, and not blinded by chemicals.
Then again, we're ALWAYS blinded by chemicals.
Hmmm....
maybe not so much!

No way! Even true love can turn into hate and then you have no friends. Even my dog died even though i just got him.
Even i had to beg my friend to come back once she left, and i use to get my way all the time from him, now lucky to get a way at all. "Oh but he cam back as a friend though" yeah with the love of his life wondering if he should do the same to me as i did to him.Think about it.

I'll follow an interesting question with a question of my own, if they were your TRUE best friend and the TRUE love of your life, would either one of them really put you into this position?

My best friends have always been the love of my life. No. Absolutely not.

Any smart person knows that friends are for now and Love is forever. In the persuit of love you should never let friends get between your dream. You will move on if you lose a friend. You will regret it if you lose a Loved one

no, finding the love of your life,, should not mean giving up relationships you already have,, except for romantic ones.
