joemax Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 My friend has recently broken up with his girlfriend of 4 months. I know, 4 months isn't a long time but he had been wanting to be with her for about 3 years. Since they've broken up, he's been miserable. He's not the same guy at all. He rarely laughs, rarely wants to hang out. I don;t know what to do. I tried talking to him about it and all he's said is that he "has no motivation for anything" and has lost his "joie de vivre". He says he doesn't know what he wants anymore, and I'm just trying to help him. What I think happened is that he hyped the relationship up so much before they actually started going out together that when it didn't work out the way he expected, everything crumbled. Any ideas to help him would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Arise_Serpentor Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 he is carrying on so long!!! maybe you should have him post on this site and read the other posts of people that live in misery but refuse to really address it! ha ha! Kidding! have you talked to him about it directly?! i bet if he hooked up with another girl he'd be fine!! I think he needs a talking to! you are a good friend!
wareagle Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Keep being there for him, no matter what!!! It will get tiresome hearing about it all the time, but that is what he needs to do. Don't dog him out and tell him to get over it allready he doesn't need to hear that! Lend him your ear and your heart, keep offering to take him out, drink beer with him, let him cry on your shoulder, plain and simple just be there for him he needs you more than ever right now! In the end you may need him for the same thing, and he won't forget how good a friend he has in you!
