    Keep quiet unless there is abuse present in the relationship.

    Smile and bear it. My relationship with my friends (and their happiness) surpasses my need to like their partners. I try to see them alone, if possible - if not, that's also okay.

    Only associate with the friend and not the partner. If it bothers you too much, you need to decide if the friendship can sustain the partner.

    I'd love to but she's too clingy(doesn't drive,has no friends of her own,etc)Many of his other friends have dropped away since they can't stand her.

    Shut yourself! nothing personal.
    I'll ask myself what ******* I am and why I am so lonely even to think about it.

    Ive never hidden it from any of my friends whos partners i disliked. Although thats been rare. my friends know me well enough to know i dont dislike someone on a whim or a simple shortfall. They would have to be very wrong in some way, and if i voiced that, then im pretty bloody serious about it. Everyone gets the benefit of the doubt, and barring total screw-ups they get 3 chances before i dismiss them from my list of people to interact with. Has to be a limit and thats how i roll with it. Good luck, its a toughy.

    Try to figure out why. Is it because YOU have feelings for your best friend and you are jealous?

    Yep. "This is a betting game for 2 to 7 players that utilizes a standard 52 card deck with 2 jokers." Also, I believe I meant "Pinochle" :P
