Q: My friend broke up with her bf just a few hours ago. She wanted him to be in tears, but he was happy. So she got revenge on him, and asked out this guy she knew would say yes! I felt horrible for the ex bf. I really want to call her new bf and tell him to break up with her, but I know that the new bf will tell her what I said and she'll get in a fight with me. I really don't want to fight with her because i'm the type of person who goes crazy when somebody is mad at me! Please tell me what I should do!


Thanks
Yeah at most, talk to your friend about it. Tell her that what she did (if you think so that is) is wrong. Why? Well going to the guy would involve you in the whole mess. Ever heard of the game 'kill the messanger'? Either way, by you telling the guy somebody will get hurt. So you shouldn't try to break things up between them - if it is going to go downhill then let it do so on its own. Yes, I know - you want to help and you feel bad... but taking a matter like that into your own hands makes it seem like you are intruding, and not too many people like that. Hope that helped and good luck.

thanks

I really like giving advice, so thats why I have a column here. I've been inactive for a long time, but I'm back and will do my best to catch up. Advicenators is a great site and it is what we make it. Having my own advice column helped me learn a lot of new things, even about myself, while giving me the chance to help others along the way. Thanks.
