Sanity Panda, I too was gutted by the responses on this forum. I think the respones lay in the title here..."Personal Development for Smart People"...so of course the focus here is on SELF, not friends or relationships.
But I basically disagree with a lot of things said here. I think, through hard work and open communication, friendships can get through changes. Sure there are some situations where they can't, if one party is THAT bullheaded and stupid, but I think if you have two people who cherish the friendship, they can WORK IT OUT.
I think this applies to marriages as well...if both parties are FRIENDS and LOVERS, and commited to the relationship, there is NO reason they can't overcome ANY obstacle.
Good luck, stay optimistic, and remember that communication is key!
