Which Ship?

For people who are patient and forgiving, the lines never get crossed. For those who are impatient and unforgiving, the lines are getting so crossed, it's not a line anymore, but a grid. For those in between that, they try to find relevant excuses and move on from there.
We tend to be more forgiving when in a friendship than in a relationship - whether it is a pairing relationship or a working relationship.
This is the age-old discussion that expectations in a relationship are on a steeper gradient - which naturally adds pressure. In a pairing relationship, the couple is finding it's footing and building a foundation for permanance. There is almost no room for constant bickering and anger, because that will add baggage that will only serve to be a stumbling hurdle later.
In a working relationship, the ties are less tight, but still crucial to a successful career, and income for oneself. Having that bond compromised may cause career suicide - so our extreme reactions may stem out of our self-preservation instincts.
Friendships promote a feel-good factor minus all the anchor. We don't have to deal with that person if we are not up to it. And our selfishness at that moment, will not be detrimental to the friendship, because friends understand.
My point, before you take out someone, determine if that person is sharing a relationSHIP or a friendSHIP with you. Because if it's the wrongSHIP you're on, then it's unplanned consequences galore.
