But family are just as capable of doing s*** like that, people just generally give them a longer leash because they're blood.

I invest most of my emotional energies into my family and significant other because those are the people that will (or at least plan to) be around forever.
I don't really understand that statement. Does that mean you don't plan to be around friends forever?
Not really, considering most people end friendships over petty issues. I recently lost my two best friends over something like that, so my current outlook on friendship is pretty glum at the moment. There are very few people that I feel I connect with to begin with.

Sure, some friendships end over petty things, or not so petty things, but my point still stands that family members are just as capable of severing ties over petty things or doing awful things to you. I don't see why people should give family members more leeway to do s*** like that, or expect more from them, when friends can be just as, if not more important than family (or, in my case, I just consider them family).

I'm not sure exactly. I've always had a good family life, so I can't really understand what it would be like to not have that.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I have a good relationship with my family, but just like me having good friends doesn't mean that all friends are good (as evidenced by the stories in this topic), you having a good family doesn't mean all families are good. I'm just saying, I don't see the difference between family and friends. I'm not saying you're wrong for investing more time with family and your partner, I just don't see the logic in saying that they're more likely to be around forever since there's plenty of evidence for cheating partners and despicable family members.

Oh yeah, sure. My post was only personal to me, and the reason for me not investing as much time in friends could be due in part to my family. People who don't have a great family life are usually the opposite. In that case, I'm sure that unbreakable friendship bonds could exist for them--friends can become like family to a lot of people.

Any friendship can be broken in my opinion. Some just can last forever, doesn't mean they're unbreakable.

Being introverted, I'm pretty picky about choosing friends. I don't have a whole lot, but the ones I do are pretty trustworthy. My best friend and I have been friends for 15 years, and we talk almost daily. Longest we went without talking was probably a month. Then there are other friends I see every 6 months or so, but when we do see each other, we act like we just met yesterday. I don't think friendship is "unbreakable," but some friendships have a much less chance of being so. I've lost touch with lots of people as well. There were a few that ended badly, and sometimes over petty things.

If both parties wanna make it work and are willing to occasionally chase scraps then sure. You can't really know too easily in advance who you will still be friends with in the future.

I'm in the same boat as Agent Dark, I have very few proper friends, but those that are my real friend, I speak to nearly on a daily basis. I do have the odd few friends that have become more distanced, but that is also due to us all having things on now (houses/wives/children) so I understand you can't see/speak to people all the time. As long as its cool when you get together, then its fine.

A good example is my best friend, who I've known for 16 years now. He traveled the world (spent a year in Switzerland, then Australia) eventually settled down in Edinburgh with his wife. I live in central-ish England, so its a bit of a trek to visit. But I do, 2-3 times a year and he comes down my way about the same amount of times, plus we speak to each other almost daily and we're arranging on a lad's outing in the new year hah.

So if you have good friends, and you're both willing to put in the effort, and your friend isn't a total bell-end, then it's all good :)

There's no such thing as an unbreakable relationship bond. What if they killed every member of your family? Extreme example, but there's always a line to be crossed.
What if the family member was with the friend in a car accident, killed, and it wasn't the friend's fault, but the other driver's?
Then that isn't Mitas's example? Maybe in the letter of what he said but certainly not in the spirit of the statement.

As for my own opinion, they don't, friendship's take some effort to maintain, close ones as will as more distant ones. At least in my own opinion I've never really had a friendship I can describe as unbreakable, as far as I can tell you have to chose to maintain them and cherish them and keep them close to you.
No it's not. He meant actual killing. There are times when you're driving a friend's family member to somewhere, but the friend's family member gets killed due to car accident that was not your fault, but the other driver that ran into you.

Yeah, and remind me to never read your posts again due to your lack of understanding very simple things on here.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

Guys, quit it. You're both behaving unnecessarily, just stick to the topic please. I gotta go to work and I don't feel like warning people or junking posts, so just cut the s***, m'kay?
