Relationships & common courtesy

I just don't understand some people and the casual way they approach relationships/friendships these days.
Or the disregard they have for either their own relationships or that of others
The commitment level is half hearted at best, it's just so laid back and whatever....

A lot of the young people I have contact with have mentioned this as a problem for them

People can really hurt another's feelings & quiet badly just through non communication or just plain not thinking about how your actions can affect others.

Does anyone stop to think about how they might feel if a situation was reversed & what it is they would expect from a partner or friend?

Maybe try it next time, put yourself in someone else's shoes, doing that, you may be saving someone's feelings from being hurt & save them a lot of anguish
It's not that hard is it?

For example 

If you know someone is in a relationship but you only invite them to your party/gathering, not their partner, have you stopped & thought about it & the effect it can have on the partner or your friend? 

Don't just assume they will think their partner is invited too

Have you had a think about how awkward you may be making your friend feel by making them ask...ummm is my partner invited too?
Maybe they are afraid to ask because...what if you said No! 

What could your reason be for not inviting them in the first place? You know I have a partner.....Hmmm awkward much?
I've had to do this & it's a really uncomfortable feeling

I know I wouldn't hesitate to ask if my partner was invited & if they weren't then I simply would not go...what ever your reason, I would respect my partners feelings more than I would respect you at that point

Even if you don't like said partner it's the respect for your friend that should matter. 

How much do you value your friend? 

So if you happen to invite someone out make sure you let them know it includes their partner as well even if you haven't meet their partner yet, it's common courtesy yeah? 

If you find yourself in a position where you have to ask if you can bring your partner maybe just accept the invitation and say, yes I & ......./or my partner, will be there, especially if they know you have a partner.

because it could be just be an over site on your friends part.

I'm not talking plus ones that's an entirely different thing, you don't want everyone bringing along some random, it is common courtesy to ask for that....but in my eyes a partner is not a plus one.

There is however no excuse for bad manners by excluding someone!
