"My boyfriend of two years wants me to choose between him and my best friend."
In relationships, a lot of sacrifices happen and a lot of compromises need to take place, but what happens when your partner wants you to stop being friends with your best friend because they don't like them?
It's really difficult when your partner wants to choose who you can be friends with.
Sometimes it might be understandable because the friend might turn out to be a bad influence, but it is still ultimately your decision.

We have no context as to why Nosipho’s boyfriend does not like her best friend- would that context help, or does it not matter at all? It is still unfair for him to make her feel like she must choose.
So, KZN, we want you to let us know what she should do. How can we help Nosipho?
On Wednesday night, Stacey & JSbu received the following message:
My boyfriend and I have been in a very loving relationship for almost 2 years- he really is my soulmate- love him so much. Just a few weeks ago, he expressed to me that he is not a fan of one of my life long best friends, they just do not vibe and that is okay. BUT he now will deliberately avoid her which makes things super awkward for me. My friend has no issues with him and I do not think it is fair that my boyfriend is putting me in this position. What can I do?
