MRbrownJAY: A "friend" who becomes your enemy was never your friend. Drinking or clubbing buddies may never be your friends. FRIENDSHIP IS SACRED. That is why God called Abraham my friend. |

Orikinla:so let me get what you are saying: if someone is/was your friend for 15/20yrs and then down the line makes a mistakes and becomes your enemy, that person WAS NEVER YOUR FRIEND?! BWAAAAAAAAAH! friends come and go, just because they made a mistake it certainly dont make their friendship any less because PEOPLE CHANGE, any smart person knows that! expecting all your friends to be your friends forever is immature. at best, we have 10friends that will be down with us FOREVER. the rest are "buddies", we socialize and do things together but this friendship may not last the test of time AND doesnt make them any less of a friend. there are many levels of friendship, understand that. Drinking or clubbing buddies may never be your friends. read my previous post FRIENDSHIP IS SACRED. That is why God called Abraham my friend. funny that you forgot about one of Jesus closest friend named JUDAS, lol, he too "was" well spoken of. i wont even mention Eve (and Adam) who also was well spoken off but betrayed God. friend will turn into enemies (for different reasons) and that will in no way discredit the friendship they had before that. betrayal by closed friends has been NUMEROUSLY written about in the bible, i suggest you read it! |

The question is a very technical one if I may say and can be easily confused. In my own understanding, relationship is one concept use in describing union, while friendship is just one type of union/relationship, other types of relationship are, platonic relationship, intimate relationship,loving relationship, adverse/enemity relationship, ecsetera. In a nutshell, frienship is a type of relationship. |

Normally your GF/BF is supposed to be your friend too so I think there's a link between both terms |

I think it's some how true 'In relationship we calculate our moves but are very open in (true)friendship. becos friendship get diferent levels these days, we even get amebo friends these days. We are like a child in friendship but behaves like adult in relationships. Telling all does not help in relationships, we do not want to tell about oyr failures and short comings, we also try to impress our partner in relationships'. |

This makes no sense - it's "straining at gnats and swallowing camels". Friendship is a type of relationship. If someone is your friend, that is a relationship. If there's a romantic interest and you're seeing someone, that's another type of relationship. Definition of relationship Definition of friendship |

Relationship <----->Friendship In this regard, Relationship is being used as a general term. If the poster is referring to relationship as in romantic/intimate relationship then . . . Relationship= friends with benefits (actually often times people rush into relationships are do not really know each other well enough to be categorized as friends. With all the hormones and chemicals fly all about, they turn a blind eye to each other's flaw i.e. love is blind) Friendship=friends without benefits |

Na wah o! Trust nairalanders to make a mountain of a mole, like we all dont know what d streetwise deffinition of a "relationship" is in comparison with friendship. Yet many of these aprokos trying to sound intelligent end up sounding like the dullards they really are by trying to give us here the literal deffinition. Pls think outside d box abeg! |

Friendship is casual or mere in suffix which means part or segment while relationship is more likely to be intimate but the truth of the matter is that friendship is the unit of relationship. |

@r. Cork, Joe50 and Andrew; y'all are crazy peeps, you're gonna make me LMAO. Damn! But you guyz have just differentiated it anyway. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between A Relationship And A Friendship? by Nobody: 3:26pm On Jul 27, 2011 |
From an explicit deduction, friendship would allow heading while relationship allow penetration. LMFAO! |
