My best friend has been dating "THE prize catch" guy from her university and she was really happy about it when she got him. She still talks about how all the girls wanted him and such. Problem is, he's the biggest jerk I have met in a long time. He treats her like dirt and me too for that matter. If my younger brother (17, I'm 20) is there, the boyfriend talks asks him for my opinion on things. I've tried talking to her but I just get the 8 girls wanted him story. What can I do to help her? I'm worried that comming out and saying it will make her think I'm jealous.

Volleyball2150 answered Tuesday July 22 2008, 5:23 pm: sugarhigh is correct. after you see that something has happened, ask her if you can talk to her in private. then explain to her your feelings. if she thinks that you are jealous or crazy, then say "did you not just see what happened now? he said/did ____" and then explaint to her what he did or said that was wrong. you need to talk to her and tell her your feelings. and if she still does not listen to you, then dont be around them because later on you will get dragged into this mess and then your friend will be begging you to help and you will have to say "i told you so". if she is a true friend, she will listen to you and understand what you are saying.

Tell her that it doesn't matter if 8 girls wanted him, if they knew how he treated her, no girl would want him. Tell her honestly how you feel about how he treats her and you. You have to make sure she understands your feelings, that you don't like him undermining you by asking your brother for YOUR opinion. and if she won't listen, or thinks that you want her man, don't hang around either of them. If shes with him, don't go near them. If she's your best friend, she should listen to your concerns and opinion. Hope this helps! [ sugarhigh2314's advice column | Ask sugarhigh2314 A Question ]
