The Friendship Court

Wednesday, December 10, 2008
filed under: relationship logic

Ever have a fight with a friend and wish a judge could tell you who's right? Now you can tell It to the Vuv!

the friendship court

Leslie Adler, the creator of thevuvclub.com uses her skills as a seasoned attorney and as the author of a blog inspired by and based on friendship to settle your friendship disputes.

I am 37 years old and I thought I was over the high school-like spats with girlfriends ... but my friend Janet (I thought she was my best friend) got two tickets to a concert she knew I would love to see and she invited a woman we both just met two months ago. I called her and told her how I felt and she told me I need to grow up. We have not spoken in two weeks. Whaddya think?

-- Gayle from Jacksonville Florida

Gayle, we all need to grow up. When we stop growing, we die ... so let's figure out how you and Janet can grow from this experience. Is Janet a friend you want in your life for the long term? If the answer is yes, be the "bigger person" and call her again. Be real! Tell her you were jealous and you really would have enjoyed seeing that show with her and spending time with her ... 'cause face it! That is what you were feeling and women have to learn to honestly express feelings like that without embarrassment. If Janet is a true friend she will appreciate your candor and I believe it will lead to continual growth in your friendship.

xoxo, the Vuv

Tell us about a squabble or a split between you and a friend and let the Vuv Decide!!

I love this idea!…There are some many times I have wanted Judge Judy to appear and tell my friend I was right!!! I look forward to reading your resolutions to people’s (usually silly) arguments. Thanks!

LOVED IT!!!! Thought it was a great idea. At the time we are having these arguments it would be nice to have a “sounding board” to present it to. And who better than one of our peers. Can’t wait to read more!! _LoviB

I cant believe this hasn’t been done before! What a great idea. Cant wait to tell you about some of my disputes with my “so-called” friends and cant wait to see what you think.. Good luck with the new venture!

It takes a very mature person to admit to a friend that they were jealous. Not everyone can do it, but I think it’s definitely a way to clear the air and go forward with their relationship. Your columns are great! Keep up the good work. Ellen

It is a very intelligent way for friends to settle disputes without breaking up friendships. Enjoyed it

Anything that helps friends stay friends is a good idea. Too many people take their friends for granted and abuse or lose them. It’s like a discount psychiatrist. Let’s all help each other. Excellent idea. I’ll be the first one to write. M&M

This is a great idea. Please keep it going- it makes a lot of sense to have a sounding board for friendship issues…we all have them!! Sadie
