Today, even more contemptible to us than adultery and slander is dissent - as in withholding assent to someone else's opinion, her behaviour, his accepted lifestyle, their established beliefs, values, etc.
It is perhaps the reason why today's friendships are like stock markets. One minute a friend's value rises, falls a minute later depending on how responsive he is to our wants, or to what we wish to hear, not necessarily what we need.
If you ask me, not everyone has to like your decision. So just keep it real and do what you feel is right. Those whose sense of willingness can see beyond their egos will appreciate your honesty - regardless.
