Robert Pattinson's friends don't want him to reunite with Kristen Stewart.

The Twilight actor - who was left devastated when he discovered his girlfriend of four years had cheated on him with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders - has decided to forgive the actress, even though his pals think he's stupid to do so.

"His friends don't want to see him hurt again. They can't stand her. But Rob has hope in their romance," a source told Us Weekly.

The couple have been having secret meetings in the guest house of a mutual friend's Los Angeles home as they work through their problems and insiders say they will soon go public with their romance. "They're working it out - he's still in love with her. They will announce they're a couple again in a few months," a source told RadarOnline.com.
