One Issue Idiot Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 My mate has a girlfriend, they've been together for about 6 months now. She is in a pickle, as a trainee programme she applied to didn't come through and she now doesn't know what to do. She openly talks about leaving him, because she feels not good about herself right now. Thing is: she openly said to me that she would leave him and maybe, once her life is good okay, she'll take him back. I have a hard time not dissing her, because I think that's just an incredibly arrogant attitude. What would you think?
norajane Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 She clearly doesn't see relationships as choosing a partner to go through life with, the downs as well as the ups. Does she think she should only show a happy face to her bf? Has this been causing problems between them and she thinks it would be easier to not see him? How is her bf handling this situation with her program - is he supportive? Does he ignore it? A lot of guys who lose their jobs and become unemployed tend to withdraw from their women, precisely because they don't feel good about themselves at that time. Sounds like she's feeling something of the same thing. I think they should talk about it instead of her talking to you about it. Maybe he'd be able to reassure her that he doesn't care what she's doing - he just wants to be with her and will support her through this. If she's feeling insecure, some reassurance from him might help.
