PiscesThe Friendship Court
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!
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.

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!!

Love the idea! You would be the modern day Ann Landers. Can’ wait to read the problems you are going to help people with.
Got some doozies for you. Can’t wait to have my day in court
Friendship court! Great idea. I am going to send my angry girlfriends your way.
I’d like to hear how that conversation goes! Will you tell us what Janet said?
How many women do you know that can admit to a friedn that they are jealous?
Can’t wait to read about other people’s disagreements, may shed some light on my own! Great idea!
LOVE THE IDEA, BUT WONDER IF THIS IS JUST TO BE CONFINED TO WOMEN……GUYS HAVE PROBLEMS TOO….HOPE YOU INCLUDE US AS WELL
Like the idea of a virtual court. Need it coming.
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.

A very interesting way to help friends get thru a tough issue. Can be very entertaining
It is a very intelligent way for friends to settle disputes without breaking up friendships. Enjoyed it
This is such a fabulous idea……….so many important friendships can be saved….kind of like a “Judge Judy”………………but……..for EVERYONE!!!!…. Would be great on TV!!!……….helene saunders
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.

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!!

I had a situation similar to this recently and would have welcomed an
impartial person to help us work this out. Great idea !
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!
