Do you ever wonder why friendships end so easily these days? It seems when we have a fight with a friend now, the friendship ends just because both sides think they are right and the other friend is wrong, and something that could be chatted and sorted out over a coffee just ends up with both friends deleting cell numbers and ignoring the other.
Why do we fight over such silly things these days? It seems the older we're getting with age the more immature we are becoming, partly I blame that on technology and social media though. We see a lot more in our friends online that we would not see if we were just with them in public. You can see a different side to the person on Facebook or twitter. Maybe a joke they make that offends you or maybe they are friends with another person that you already don't like. Online media has turned jealousy into the most common of traits.
We get jealous of the new woman friend of our partner or the new handsome girl that is working with your husband, jealous of where the family next door went on vacation, jealous of the photo of their new home, jealous of their new car, we just get jealous so easy. No wonder domestic violence cases are rising with the rise of social media. Guys just become obsessed with who their partners engage with online. Anyway cutting to the chase, never lose a friendship over something silly, fighting is apart of a good relationship, so is forgiveness.
