my friend


Question Posted Wednesday June 7 2006, 10:43 pm

So, I have this friend and she's been going out with this guy for like 3 years. No joke! They've been together for 3 looooong years now. She was like super duperly in love with him. Like, he was the only thing she could talk about whenever I hung out with her. Now....they just broke up. and she's completely devastated. She's been crying for like days now. I saw her this morning and she looked terrible. She is like, totally distraught over this. I'm wondering what I can do to help her through this. She's like, my best friend. Please help.

I recently went through a tough break-up too so i can understand how hard it is for her. And from personal experience i know that my friends support was the only thing that managed to get me through it. She is going to be depressed for a while, and im sure she knows that, but you need to reassure her that everything will be alright in the end. You really can't do much.. but the best thing you CAN do is keep her mind off of him. Hangout with her as much as possible.. keep her smiling, go to the movies, or a themepark for a day.. anything to keep her mind off of him.. Eventually she won't think about him AS much.. and soon she'll barely think of him at all. When you're in school.. try and keep her away from him, so she doesn't see him.. and when your in a conversation with her dont bring up ANYTHING you know might remind her of him. Thats basically all i can think of.. i hope she gets through this alright... i know how tough break-ups are.. especially after being with someone for so long.

Just be there for her to talk too, spend time with her, and do girl stuff with her. When a serious relationship ends, everyone goes through this. It's so hard but she will heal in time.

Spend some time with her. Make her little presents. And be careful of what you say. Don't mention- boyfriend, break up, going out, crushes, being single, etc.
Plan a day with you too. Go out to the movies and make sure it's comedy, horror, ANYTHING but romance. Go to the beach. Have a little party for her.. with some of her other friends to cheer her up.
Try to make her laugh with stupid jokes.
Give her some time alone to mope.
I don't know, it's going to be hard for her.
Just keep being her friend even if she's moody. She might say things she doesn't mean because she's so upset.
Try to keep her distracted.

Time has to heal all wounds.

Especially relationship wise. Why would he consider breaking up with her after 3 years and then following through with it?

The best thing you can tell her is time heals all things. There is no "cure" for what she is going through other than time. You can be her friend and be there for her and comfort her, and that will help the healing go along faster.

Otherwise, there is no quick solution. All you can really do is what I mentioned, and be a friend.

I hope I helped, and I think you will be able to help her right now.
