Im sure im not the only one out there who has come into situations where you dont like the person that someone you know is dating. Im not talking about your random classmate Sally and her douche bag boyfriend Billy. Im talking about someone that is really important in your life-making a mistake with the wrong person in their own lives. My best friend of 7 years is named lindsey. Lindsey is a bombshell. She has a ton going her way; athletic body, smart, funny and gorgeous.the only downfall is she dates the biggest asshole Ive ever met. They have been dating since freshman year of highschool. Of course it hasnt always been smooth sailing. they are that couple that you always hear about; constantly fighting, breaking up and making up. Except the making up part is always pawned off on lindsey. Timmy (asshole) never cares enough to make ammends with lindsey. In fact he tells her point blank he could careless if they are together or not. Linds is so in love with him though that she just tries to forget about the continuous hurtful comments he makes, and continue on. This process happens every 2 weeks about. As lindseys bestfriend there really is a fine line between being helpful and overstepping my boundaries. OBVIOUSLY she needs to stop wasting her time on a cheater and a liar, but she cant help it. What am i supposed to say to her to make her feel better when the truth hurts? "im sorry that you are in your bedroom crying over the same thing you cried about last week but its time to MOVE ON and be with someone who knows how to appreciate you and love you the way you need to be. Timmy doesn't love you" might be true, but ive tried saying this before and she just gets mad at me. With several years of dealing with this situation under my belt, ive learned that i need to keep my opinion to myself. the only thing that my "advice" is doing is ruining the pathway to communication between us. She has to learn it for herself. the hard way. All i simply try and do now for her is to be there when she comes to me, offer a pair of ears to listen. She knows that im available for her, as any friend should be, but i dont get too involved in the situation as often anymore.
