Opinions matter!

Hi every one hope you have a good time here. I am back in to my life again. But I do have a question it is about a friendship.

I have very good friend since my school age. She lives in England. We had a good communication and also we were calling each other. Few weeks ago she asked me what I am thinking about she is going out with a man who she got to know, while her daughter is away with her father for three weeks. She used to do that more often all the time when the child away with her father ,she used to make trips with this guy almost two to three years. So I have given exactly my opinion. I said if I were you I will try to live with him and see if that works, on the vacations it is always stunning both relaxed but that is not the reality, that is much harder and tougher.
She asked for the opinion I have given my opinion for that she said "my life has nothing to do with any one else"

since then she is Not responding to any of calls or not even whats app message, but I can see that she was checking her whats app. I am not sure if she has blocked me. But what my mind is saying if some one does not like opinion they should not have asked it. I cannot lie in the sake of friendship or should I?

What you all do in this case? Cut her off or lay back and wait when she get back to me whenever she needs me? Is any one went through like this?

Zeurich, I am sorry to hear this, but as you put it as long as she asked for you opinion, she should have been strong enough to take you answer. That is how you feel and you are fully allowed to tell her that, because she asked you. I think she can't be much of a friend who act like this towards you. I say, move on and get other friends.yay teddybear hug
Hi Z, it is sad when someone takes what you have said in a wrong way when you were only trying to express your opinion to you friend, for which she asked. So sad for you in this as friends are a treasured blessing.

I guess it all depends on how deep your friendship is as to what you should do. Usually I find your heart tells you. If this friend has been a dear friend and from what you say she has then I would write her maybe even a handwritten letter.. and try to express her your sadness at what has happened and explain to her that with your opinion you meant no harm... just that you want the best for your friend. It is not about right or wrong it is about friendship... and whether it is worth saving and helping or not.

Love to you Z and hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend hug teddybear hug
Thank you for all your comments,,, let me see... at some point better to make her feel better but what welela said is true ,, she should not have asked in the first place
Post I have already send her card with a note.grin so now ball is there will see if she gonna bat
hi Zeurich, sometimes we should not tell the truth even to own brothers or sisters without understanding their situation properly. Or sometimes we should tell the people what they wanna hear. According to your provided information, it sounded like you punched on her nose. laugh
Probably she does not want to live her life with him but only wanna spend her vacations with him. (I cannot be 100% correct, either. it's only my opinion).

if you are sure she is upset, then wait for the right time as you said that she was very good friend since yor school age. if the person does not wanna respond, then one can make or force him/her to respond or talk with oneself. Have good time. wave
I prefer being honest, but sometimes when someone asks you something, they already have an opinion and it becomes how dare you have a second opinion.
Just dropped by to say hello my friend.comfort hug

I´ve been "horsing" around all day...laugh

I find our four-legged friends more loyal anyway.teddybear
sorry, there was something missing in my post.
it should be:
then one cannot make or force him/her to respond.
I would have answered her question and stayed out of it.
I need a long break from CS.


I meant to say that I would not have answered her question and stayed out of it.
If I ask someone for their opinion, I have to expect an answer I mightn't like.

I don't offer advice if it isn't ask for, but I do give an opinion to a definite question.

If she is a friend, she will get back eventually. Not much else you can do. wine
@bhadra- Thank you yes I know ,,, might be she wanted to hear "yeah girl get more vacations as much as you can" but that was not she heard from me so she is now mad let her.

@KEN - ah yeah ,, I felt if I kept my mouth shut might be better but yeah,,, she asked for it,,

@ CC- that is what I am doing,,,
@minerva laugh laugh you are always good at making some one laugh when they feel down,, what you said is true,,,

@KNthumbs up well said dear thank you!

@Butter,, hi love yay how was door breaking? any luck?grin
Zeurich. I agree with your advice to your friend. There no guarantee that our opinion will be accepted. If she was a real friend she will understand that you were only trying to help.
