When your friends and your partner don’t get along, it can leave you feeling stuck in the middle. You love both relationships, but their tension can make social gatherings uncomfortable and create stress for everyone involved.
In this video, Dr. Frankie Bashan shares practical advice on how to handle these situations without feeling like you have to choose sides. You’ll learn how to:
💛 Understand where your friend’s or partner’s concerns are coming from
💛 Recognize when their concerns may point to a bigger problem
💛 Set healthy boundaries around criticism and conflict
💛 Accept that people you love don’t have to like each other
💛 Set expectations for parties, group hangs, and shared events
💛 Protect your relationships while maintaining a healthy support system
Sometimes, the goal isn’t to make everyone become friends. It’s simply to create enough respect and boundaries that everyone can coexist—and that you don’t have to carry the tension between them.
Watch Dr. Frankie Bashan’s advice on navigating relationship and friendship dynamics when the people you love don’t always get along.
