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

Source

No, I don't think it's wise to have just one best friend, like someone has only one wife. The reason is that people can disappoint you, and having two or more friends would help you to avoid being disappointed.

For example, if I am in need and I have only one friend that I approach and tell him or her about my financial needs. He or she is unable to help me, it means I have no option left, but if I have other friends, it means I have hope and other options, which out of the two to four friends, one would help me.

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

Well, it depends on what my best friend and I are sharing in common, which would determine if I would be jealous or not. Of truth, I am a jealous person who would feel jealous over someone whom I take as my best friend spending time happily with another person. This is the reason why I stand on getting more than one friend to avoid jealousy and any form of envy.

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

To some extent, yes, a married man or woman should end their friendship with people of the opposite sex after marriage to avoid having trust issues in their marriage. A man or a woman would always feel jealous seeing their partner happily having quality time with the opposite sex. Such situations usually bring trust issues, and the best way is to stop them.

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

Yes, especially if the friend has failed to learn and make some changes. There is no point in being in a friendship when I don't have peace of mind. I can be in a friendship where we would be quarreling, arguing, or having misunderstandings. Often, it is better I stay in Lane than to have a friendship where I have no peace of mind.

What Is your advice to people with many friends?

It is better to have two trusted friends who can come through for you than to have many friends who cannot be trusted or come through for you when you need their help.

Having many friends is good, but even better when they're contributing positively to your well-being. My advice is for such people to be careful with whom they call their friends.
