I have several best friends in my life, all of which are beautiful, caring, nice girls. But lately, they've been driving me INSANE. You see, they all have boyfriends, but their boyfriends are complete jerks to them! They convince them to lie to their parents, they take advantage of them when their drunk, they ditch them for their guy friends, they treat them like a piece of dirt, etc. And each one of my friends hates it when their boyfriends do those things, but they still think their boyfriend is the greatest thing in the world. I wish I could make them realize that they deserve sooo much better. I'm tired of them settling for an asshole of a boyfriend just because they NEED a guy to feel good about themselves. It's just not right and I just can't believe they would act so stupidly. How do I deal?
