You haven't done anything to express the reverse relationship, if I understand all this correctly, so of course it doesn't show up. A straightforward way to solve that would be to simply add the reverse entry at the same time you add the initial entry, since you are assuming the friendship is bidirectional. In other words, at some point when you save a form, you're creating a row like this: rel = Friendship.objects.create(to_friend=user1, from_friend=user2) rel.save() But are you doing the reverse? rel = Friendship.objects.create(to_friend=user2, from_friend=user1) rel.save() There are other ways to accomplish it, but I think this is the simplest.
