Would you allow one statement or sentence end a friendship?

Answer 1

well, if the statement was 'I fantasize about killing you and cutting you up into little pieces' then I'd say, yes. But if it was one insulting statement made in the heat of anger and not typical of a spiteful personality, then I'd let it go.

Answer 2

It would totally depend on what was said and how close we were.

If it was something that made me completely re-address the way I thought about that person's character then it might well put a stop to the friendship.

If I thought it was really unusual for them to say that sentence, then I would probably ask them why they said it and if it sounded how they meant it to.

If they had a reason or excuse then I would probably give them the benefit of the doubt but I might be more wary of them in future.

However if it was something along the lines of "I tried to seduce your husband" (note the confidence in my hubby's faithfulness there!) or "I just punched your mother." then yes it would probably ruin our friendship forever.

However I don't think any of my friends are like that - I hope anyway!

Answer 3

That depends on what it is.

For example
"I slept with your husband and he's leaving you for me."
That'd probably be it for me. Bye-bye.

But other than that, I would try to look at the scope of our friendship, remove my personal feelings, and see if whatever that person said was really so terrible or not. I say stupid things I regret sometimes - everybody does. I would hope my true friends would be understanding/forgiving if it was just a mistake or I was having a bad day.


***hahahahaha within 10 seconds everyone said the same thing!!!

Answer 4

I have, over the years, encountered many difficult situations where harsh words were exchanged.

Even when I have been taken advantage of or misled or lied to, I have still found it in my heart to forgive. It doesn't mean you forget but you should never let it harbor in your heart.

If you and a friend had a falling out over something said, always go to that person and try to reconcile. If they won't forgive you (even though you have forgiven them) then it's their problem.

If you let unforgiveness rule your life, other people will always have power over you.

So the real question is this--do you want to have control over your own life or do you want the unforgiveness from another person controlling your life?

Answer 5

No. Friendship is worth more than a statement or sentence. Talk 'bout it, but u cn gt thro it. I would never split with ma frendz cause of what someone or they said.

Answer 6

Possibly, yes. Depends on the statement.

Answer 7

NO WAY!!! if i got into an argument or something i would definitly not let it ruin my friendship with one of my friends!!! thats retarded...or if a rumor got around about one of my friends and that i supposivly said it i would confront my friend and talk to her about it....one statement or sentence should NOT ruin a friendship!! =]

Answer 8

I always have this dilemma....its not nice
The way i dealt with it before is didnt end the friendship but because she really hurt me i made sure she knew that and also told her that i was going to find it very hard to trust her again.....everythings fine now and im glad i didnt lose one of the bestest friends ive ever had. Shes never hurt me since.
True friends are hard to come by.......i hope you make the right decision

Answer 9

Usually not, but it depends on the statement or sentence.

Answer 10

Certainly. Depending on the sentence and If I believed they were telling the truth, and not just something said in the heat of the moment.
