Sacrificed Friendship

The periphery of the relationship of Female Associate (FA) and Unassuming Partner (UP) is not simple. Over the years, among their circle of friends were colleagues who later became close friends. These friends were, of course, expected to exercise a level of loyalty to say the least.

Loyalty among friends is tested once a couple breaks up. Thus, Important Staff (IS) found herself being confronted by FA when her relationship started to fall apart. IS worked with FA to make sure her affairs were in order particularly when she faced the camera. FA felt IS and her other friends, who were known to FA as well, did not treat her like a friend and chose UP’s side. FA believed IS should have treated her better and perhaps with more sympathy. IS probably chose to remain quiet given no one wants to be involved in the midst of a breakup.

The situation distanced the two. One time, they were in the same location out of the country, which should have led to a get-together, just like the old times. Nothing happened. In other words, they snubbed each other. Losing her relationship with FA was not a hard blow to IS. Allegedly, she was said to be telling friends that FA treated her like a household help rather than the position she was hired for. Incidentally, IS has stronger ties with UP and such bond involves family, hers and UP’s. Losing FA’s friendship was merely a consequence of choosing a side and not adding to the tension.

Now, things are settling down and FA and UP are quiet and perhaps the silence is keeping their kibitzers quiet.
