Some friends can be mean, envious and wicked. Friends ruining relationships is not a new thing but you shouldn’t allow it happen to you.


Unfortunately, friends sabotaging relationships happens all the time. If you truly care for the person you are dating now and the feeling is mutual, don’t let your friends ruin your relationship.

You should know what to do when someone tries to ruin your relationship but first, you have to know the signs to look out for that their intentions are to ruin your love life.

If your boyfriend’s female friend is ruining your relationship, talk to him about it and take action too. If your girlfriend’s male friend is trying to sabotage your relationship, nip it in the bud immediately.

Watch out for these signs that reveal your friends want to ruin your relationship.

1. They think your date is not good enough for you

You just met someone you like and they fit into your life but your friends think otherwise, look well. They may be trying to ruin your relationship.

2. They are always talking about your past relationships

If your friends constantly talk about your exes whenever you are hanging out with them and your latest date, be alert. They shouldn’t be doing that before your new date, it’s disrespectful.

3. They want you to cheat

Any friend who encourages you to cheat on your partner doesn’t want your romantic relationships to evolve into something better. They may love one night stands, but they shouldn’t be trying to convince you to do the same.

4. They flirt with your lover

Friends who flirt with your new date behind your back are the worst kind. If your friend tries to put you down, or calls up your lover and talks for hours when you are not around, there’s a good chance that your friend is looking for ways to break both of you up and enter the picture.

5. They make you ignore your lover

Friends who make you ignore your lover by constantly keeping you engrossed in another conversation or taking you somewhere else when your partner needs your attention are not good for your relationship.

6. They disrespect your partner

If your friends ignore your new lover or treat them disrespectfully while hanging out together, they don’t mean well for your relationship. When your friends disrespect your date, it reflects badly on you as a lover.

7. They speak ill of you

If your friends treat you disrespectfully when you are with your date, they want to ruin your relationship. Your friends should help you impress your date and win a lover over, not make you look bad. Your friend should not put you down in front of your lover.

8. They constantly want your attention

When your friends constantly gate crash your romantic date, or are always demanding attention when they know you are with your date, watch it!

9. They always show your partner’s worst side

If your friends always make you see the worst in your partner, they may not be such good friends after all. But if they have good reasons, perhaps they are only trying to help you, but be watchful and don’t destroy your relationship because of your friends.
