MatchstickFear Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 My friend is in a dead-end relationship with this guy, and it's really emotionally draining - to the point that I don't want to hang around her anymore because it's the SAME THING every day. Like a month ago, she told me that she knows she has to break up with him. She doesn't love him, the relationship is going nowhere, and I'm not going to start with how obnoxious and inconsiderate he is. But there has been absolutely no progression! I want to be a supportive friend, but I don't know what I'm supporting! She's complaining about how much she doesn't like him, how rude and lame he is etc about 80% of the time I'm with her. The rest of the time she's either talking about how much she misses him, or she's on the phone with him. But when she gets off the phone she just starts complaining about him again, or starts crying because he's hurt her in some way. Her entire life has been consumed by this IDIOT, and I'm sick and tired of watching her do this to herself. It's really getting annoyingly repetetive. I don't like him, and I really don't like the person my friend is becoming because of him. Any advice? -Amy
Elyssa Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Tell her exactly how you feel about her and the situation. And be blunt! Sure she'll blame you for not being a good friend, but you know what? The "best friends" thing is supposed to go both ways. Perhaps by doing this she will realize what a mess she has become and pull herself back together.
