If we ask if friendship is better than relationship<\/strong>, what would you say? Hold your answer for the end of this blog!<\/p>\n

Is friendship better than love?<\/strong> Finding an amazing person and falling in love can make you do crazy things. No, No, we are not talking about crimes (lol). It can include shifting across the country, leaving your job to settle with them, or even pushing your favorite people out of your life. Some out of your wish and some forced, maybe.<\/p>\n

We are not against taking major life decisions out of love, but disconnecting yourself from friends for the sake of a relationship is not the right thing to do. A friendship relationship<\/strong> is as important as your romantic relationship.<\/p>\n

After you commit yourself to a relationship, bailing on plans, not answering your friends\u2019 calls, or not reverting to their texts might sound normal, but that means pushing your support system out of your life, maybe unknowingly.<\/p>\n

If you are up for an argument that you call them when you fight with your partner, drop it now because that doesn\u2019t count. Although friendship is greater than relationship<\/strong> But friends are not ONLY your emergency counter you reach out to when your partner is not talking to you, OKAY?<\/p>\n
