20 things your partner should never ask you to do – #5 and #12 are very critical

7. To Ditch Your Best Friend

“You should never be asked to stop being friends with one of your friends just because your partner doesn’t like him or her. They can point out how the relationship might not be healthy, but that’s it. Especially if the friendship precedes the relationship, they should stay out of it.” -Bette Levy Alkazian, licensed marriage and family therapist

6. To Cover for Their Addiction

“You should never have to lie for your partner, covering up their addictions. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol or sex, you’re not helping them, you’re just enabling them.” -Ava Cadell, AASECT certified sex counselor and founder of Love University
