I have seen this scenario happen a lot! 2 people like the same person and of course if they like the same person, drama and nastiness to each other is bound to happen! 2 of my close friends became bitter enemies when my friend secretly liked the now ex-bf of my other friend. The guy happened to be her childhood friend and playmate, since they grew up on the same street. The bitter friend just called me one day saying on my 1st "Hello" what a slut my friend was for hooking up with the guy who has a kid. Deep down I know that wasn't the reason. She secretly liked him. She was so mad that for an hour, all she told me was how awful my friend was and other things a mad person can think of to put down their enemy. She even cursed and called my friend a "slut" several times through text and she tried to ruin their relationship by inventing malicious stories so that the guy would not talk to my friend anymore.
I also have been betrayed by someone who I considered a "friend" because we like the same person, so I now know the "risk" of letting your friends and partner interact with each other, so I think that should be avoided if possible. Like just don't introduce your partner at all.
But that's just me. How about you? What is your stance on this? Are you cool with your friends being acquaintances with your SO or even crush, if you're single? You'll never know what might develop. It will hurt you for sure. Or you have the same stance that you don't trust your friends around your partner or vice versa? Because we all know some friends or SO's can be sneaky cheaters.
