Friends' partner

Post as anon please, as the friend involved uses TSR.
How do other people cope when they don't like their best friends' choice of partner? My best mate has started going out with a girl, and they seem really happy together, but she and I do not get on very well.
I try not to show that I don't like her much cos I don't want to upset the friendship, but she really gets on my nerves.
Any advice?

well if theyre happy then be happy for them. dont put them in a position where they have to decide between you.
I say just bite your tongue really. Be happy for your mate, even if it is hard. Unless they do something that really does warrant telling your friend.

It really is a case of just having to grin and bear it I'm afraid. There's not a lot you can do, and if you do try and do something you may make things worse.
