Hello! Quick question for the masses: what do you do if there's someone that your Bonded doesn't like? And that someone also also dislikes your Bonded?

They're both very close to me, so it's a difficult situation. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Is it not obvious?

You must decree that they are to love one another. Were it me, I would decree that they should love me first. Their love for one another follows from my radiance.

For others, though it is brutish, force may be required.

still anon, though boy he almost broke it to coo at the kitty

[escardos]

No, I don't think that's possible.

Do you know why they don't like each other?

To keep it simple, person A believes my Bonded to not be good for me.

Or something like that.

tell them to grow the hell up.

they can either deal and act normal for you, or they can fuck off when the other's around.

[escardos]

Who needs to grow up? My Bonded or Person A? Both?

But I don't think Person A would be very good at acting "normal".

Would it be possible for your Bonded and the other person to come to terms if they had some sort of formal agreement? Something you or your Bonded could do to help remove part of the distaste between them?

[escardos]

A formal agreement?

Explain.

Tell them to get over it. It's your choice not theirs.

[escardos]

That usually works.

But I was looking for a more permanent solution?

[weiward]

that's easy. you tie them together and refuse to set them free until they agree to get along.

[escardos]

I'm...unsure as to how that would go. I don't think there's rope strong enough for my Bonded. And Person A would most likely see that as a nuisance.

You could try to do your best to get them to get along? There's gotta be something they have in common that they could see eye to eye on? If they're both really close to you they should at least try to get over the bad, right?

[escardos]

I'm...certain they have some things in common, but not the correct things.

Do you know the reason for their mutual hostility?

[escardos]

They both have different ideas on what they want for me, I think.

OH I KNOW THIS ONE!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN AND TELL THEM YOU WON'T BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, THAT THEY'D BETTER LEARN TO AT LEAST TOLERATE ONE ANOTHER OR YOU'RE GONNA BE MAD!

IT WORKS SOMETIMES! MOSTLY ON MY BROTHERS.

[escardos]

I'm not too sure if I am angry, though. I am...concerned?

[sealeted]

Was there a specific incident that caused the dislike, or is it a clash of perspective/personalities?

[escardos]

More of the latter? I suppose it was something like 'dislike at first sight'.

[recklessbelief]

is there something that they have in common with each other?

[escardos]

Nothing good, I would say. Maybe that they're both very dangerous.

If they spend more time together maybe they could learn to become friends?

[escardos]

They're not the types to make friends....

Sometimes two people just aren't going like each other. And that's fine.

You can't really force it if they're set in their ways.

Do they both know how much they mean to you?
