ok so my friend Katie has been going out with this guy drew. I honestly think that the relationship is a mistake. he likes me, he lies to katie, he used her, this is their 3rd time going out, he called me a bit**, etc. ect. He is not a good boyfriend. But this is her longest relationship so she thinks that she loves him. but she says that she is not happy ( i wouldn't be either) but she refuses to break up with him. So i cant be her friend if she is going to go out with someone who treats me like crap. but i am afraid that she will choose her boyfriend over me and then they will break up and she will have no one... what should i do? and please dont say talk to her because i have already done so. any ideas?

you either need to be there for her, or you have to ditch her and let her deal with it .
i mean if you talk bad about him its just going to make you and her more distant, so you either have to be there or like i said not be her friend, but you have to make that decision. if she is your best friend and has been for some time you might want to ride it out, because in reality they won't be together for much longer.
good luck.
if you need anymore advice, message me . [ Ask_G's advice column | Ask Ask_G A Question ]

Making her choose "It's either our friendship, or HIM." Now, that's not right. What good will come of it? You lose a friend out of the deal? Is it really worth that risk?
No. You don't need to put up with him treating you like crap.
What you do is not put your friendship on the chopping block, but tell her "Look, if you are going to continue dating him, fine. But I don't want him around me, because he treats me like dirt. So if you want to hang out, be sure to leave him at home."
