When not at my hippie college I live in a tiny rural town 11 miles from the nearest traffic light. I love history and can tell you more about the sex lives of various historical figures than you'd ever want to know. I also collect socks.

One of my friends has been with her bf for ever it seems like. A few years. Anyway, they are in a tuff spot right now and possibly heading toward a break up.
Ive never been w/ a guy for 2-3 years so Im far from knowing how she feels. All i would like to do is be there for her.
Any suggestions to how I can help w/o butting in to there relationship? (link)

I think you should treat it as you would any other time a friend goes through a crisis. Whenever my friends are bothered by something, I tell them I sympathize with them and am thinking of them, and invite them to open up to me if they wish to. But don't ask too many questions because the friend may find the whole thing too painful to talk about. If she does decide to talk, still don't ask too many questions or try to give advice -- just listen to her and make sympathetic noises, and maybe do something to distract her, like you could go to see a funny movie or something, and it would take her mind off her problems for a few hours.
