Do you think it's wise to have just one best friend like someone has one wife?Explain

Having just one best friend is generally not the healthiest of arrangements as it places a great deal of emotional weight onto a single friendship. Whereas a marriage is legally and socially exclusive and founded on a romantic union, friendships aren't quite so exclusive.

A single person simply can't fulfill every social, emotional, and intellectual need you possess. Some friends will bring out the workhorse in you and others, the carefree spirit; a small circle of close friends gives you a healthy emotional support network that won't smother one another.

If you have a best friend and your best friend has another friend whom he/she spends most of the time with, will you be jealous and discontinue? Explain

It's completely natural to feel a sting of jealousy when your best friend starts devoting a lot more time to someone else, because the fear of replacement is the fear we all must conquer. But abruptly cutting a friend off just to make a point never works; true friends can never truly 'belong' to us.

If you hold the friendship dear then telling the friend what you're feeling- without becoming too blaming or pushy- is what's best. Letting the friendship wither is the only sure fire way to see the end of it, so if not just focus on the quality time when you are together and don't cause a fuss.

Should a married man or woman end their friendships with people of the opposite sex after marriage? Give reasons for your answer

A married person does not inherently have to cease relations with their friends of the opposite sex, but the relationship dynamic must fundamentally shift. It is never wise to allow any relationship to encroach on the sanctity of marriage, so any interaction which is secret, overly dependent on the third party to make up for the other spouse, or completely disrespectful of the marriage must end immediately. Platonic friends who respect marriage, boundaries, and who welcome spouses openly are still friends that can thrive. The ban should never be universal but instead a mutual understanding between spouses about absolutely everything.

Will you end a friendship if your friend keeps on making mistakes or doing things you don't like?

The reasons why we cut off friends are almost as diverse as the human race itself. Two of the factors that must be considered when determining if a friendship should end after too many similar mistakes is what the behavior entailed and the attitude displayed afterward.

The friends with a sincere mistake or personal problem will still require your patience and forgiveness, for we are all human. Yet when they do something malicious or obviously are showing absolutely no care for you and your well being, you have no choice but to leave.

What Is your advice to people with many friends?

My advice is to make sure to quality, not quantity, as the key if your social diary becomes to crowded. It is a really simple way to be popular yet solitary, as the friendships will not get too serious. Be careful with who you invest your time and energy with as you'll never have any left to truly care for someone if you spread yourself too thin. It's vital to differentiate between the social butterfly, a casual acquaintance, and true friends who would have your back even if it put them in a compromising position and to give them the investment they deserve.
