Advice?
My friend is in a relationship with a boy and they've been dating for about 7 months. He has hurt her a lot in a short amount of time. I've held her as she's cried and she's even said that if he did what he did again, she would break up with him. She didn't. She loves him and he loves her, but she has a lot of things on her plate right now and this relationship is very stressful on her. I don't like him because of what he's done but I still try to be supportive of their relationship. They try to make it work but I'm not sure if its worth it. Its a very intense relationship with a lot of issues, and I don't think its healthy. Is it my place to say something to her? What do I do?
Hey there!
As a friend of her it's okay and natural to wish for her wellbeing. I would say that all you can do is tell her how you perceive her relationship as you have a wider perspective been on the outside and observing both of their behaviors. You can tell her you are seeing her relationship making her feel worst as she already is stressed, as you said.
Supporting her doesn't necessarily mean you need to support her relationship if you aren't seeing it as healthy and positive. Make sure you let your friend know you are there for her.
What she decided to do is her issue though. You cannot force anyone to break up from their partner not even when things are clearly going on a wrong path. It seems she is aware that things aren't going well but she keeps trying for some reason. She isn't ready to let go.
