What should I do with a friend who I don't really like but I can't live without?

Friendships is sort of like going fishing...strange but hear me out. When you first throw in your line, Either You can't get one to bite and/or if you do it's probably to small and  you need throw it back in and try again anyway. When the big one bites(meaning the friendship worth wild)it gives you the biggest fight of them all(what your going through now) it's either they pull to hard and break the line or the pull gets to strong for you and you let the pole go or cut the line yourself...What I'm trying to say to you is "The importance of your friendship is based on the size of your fish and whether it's even worth reeling in"

make a list of the things you don't like about him and a list of the good things you like about him. If the bad list outweighs the good and you feel that it is too important to overlook, move on.

Moving in with a friend is a risky thing, especially if you are afraid of getting sick of her. It can make the best of friends the worst of enemies. I lost a best friend doing the same thing.

sounds awfully familar to me, if you want to be lazy and throw in the towel be my guest, and if he always wants to hang out with is friends and not you and that bothers you maybe you should try to be a person worth hanging out with.  you had a child together you didn't die in childbirth get a life, get things to intrest you be them hobbies or whatever if you want someone to be interested in you be interesting.

Well, if you don't dislike him terribly, be friends with him. Don't just totally drop him unless you can't even stomach the sight of his face. If you give the friend thing a shot, you may realize that you DO like him, or he may realize that he DOES NOT like you.

He is your friend, if that is the case then you won't have any problems. Talk to him really nicely, about how nice he is and stuff then little by little tell him what you don't like about him, hmm let me think.. or you could make up a fib or something a white lie if your up to it. Don't go straight to the point since you don't want to hurt his feelings.

If you totally can't decide then that means you don't like anyone of them, so leave both of them and find someone you really like. Tell them direcly that you don't like them.

forgive your friend for what he/she has done. and if you want to stay away from him/her for a while, it's normal. if both of you want to make it up again, please do it, because he/she is your friend and you love your friend so much. but it takes both of you to gain your friendship again, not one.

Set the both of them up to meet you somewhere like the park or mall or somewhere and set them down and tell them that you cannot do this anymore. You are not going to be the go between for them anymore. You love them both but they are ruining what could be a good friendship. If they care anything about you they will either find a way to get along or atleast lay off of you. \n\nYou cannot make your friends like each other but you can make them respect that you consider both of them your friends and do not want to lose them but you will walk if something doesnt change.

Tell him that he needs to go explore the feelings he has for your friend and that you don't want to be around during that process. In the meantime, do things that make you happy. He may find that the grass is not greener on the other side and by that time you may find that you're happier without him.\nIf he has feelings for your friend then his feelings for you can't be too strong at this point. Sorry... and good luck.\nP.S. making yourself available to a person who has thoughts of being with someone else is showing him that you don't respect yourself.

You need to just let it go & don't let her have that much power over you. You are allowing this person to determine your happiness. Just move on & find another friend.

I think thats something we all want to know.  I have the same problem.  I think their not worthy of being your friend though.  Just tell him/her how you feel.  Good-Luck!!

If you don't feel that you can be honest with them about how you feel, I think you should find other activities to do, getting too busy to support your friendship. Friendships will dry up, if you don't water them regularly with visits, phone calls and notes. If you are too busy to fit her into your schedule, she'll either ask you up front what's up or she'll slowly move on to someone else. If she asks, that's your cue to be honest, even though it might hurt. Without knowing how she "makes" you feel bad, it's hard to know if you're not bringing on some of this treatment yourself, actually encouraging her that it's ok to treat you this way. Some people think it's better to have a "bad" friend than no friend at all. If she is truly a "toxic" friend, move on to more positive people. In time, she'll fade away. I would rather that she knows exactly what's causing you to not want to be around her. Maybe she doesn't have a clue that she's treating you badly. Maybe she does this to everyone. If not, you have to ask yourself why you? Letting her know will give her the option of changing...or not. If you have body odor, and everyone avoids you, not wanting to be around you, wouldn't you want to be told? You might think everyone hates you or maybe doesn't like your clothes or something. No one has the right to treat you badly. You give them that right. You can take it away. <*)))><

You answered your own question, as humans we are programmed to want what we cant have. But remember this, you had him once, and your heart told you that you made better friends. Remain friends, and be the best at it

Maybe you should try to find a different friend, you can change or help somebody who doesn't want help.

I'd just stay out of it, and when the other one tells you the plans - let them know this is cruel.\nThat is what friends do.
