Sometimes (when confused) I really DO like copping out and asking a mate/good friend to "tell me what to do".

A "good" one never actually will.

However, I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with brutally honest advice. Don't get it twisted, I may be (a little defensive) but ultimately value those who value me enough to pi$$ me off.

(MODS: wasn't sure, transfer to other category if fitting)

That's just it, they "value" you and your friendship enough to be honest enough with you..Bring everything to the table, without intent to hurt......

Do you mind..at least for a moment..giving up your perception of your own life..for a good friend to rip it apart.."with good intent"?

I wonder how many relationships could have been saved by a good GPS. But then what else would you have to talk about on those long drives.:smile:

Be careful what you ask for - you just might get it! LOL

I too sometimes just want to know from loved/trusted ones what to do, thing is that by the time I gather this info from a few I am often pissed that my PROBLEM is so easily solvable and by then know my own answer for myself. So it worked!!! Love those who love us enough to guide, not advise.
