Isn't it disappointing when you have friends who are in a bad relationship and they know it??
I have a friend, who never asked me, but I sensed he needed my support in making the decision of whether or not to beak up with his gf. I never even met her but he was using words like calculating, manipulative, selfish, knows how to climb the corporate ladder, etc. to describe her, none of which were positive.
He on the other hand is one of those super nice guys, laid back and I have no idea why he's never dated until now. So ya, he's in this relationship that he describes as 'it's really good when things are good and really bad when it's bad'
I could feel his cry for help and so in my usual meddling way, I tried to help him get what he wanted - out of the relationship.
Of course easier said than done. I spent countless hours on the phone, got him to admit that it's never going to work in the long run, made him see how unhappy he is and also said to him that the right thing is never the easy thing to do.
I was bad and lost touch with him for a month after he told me 'I think we broke up' and just yesterday I found or that they're still together. At this point, I give up. I feel like I've wasted my time. Nothing had changed, he's just too chicken to leave her for fear of being alone and to hurt someone, who in his mind, is willing to put a lot of time and effort for him.
I've told him to no longer speak to me about his relationship. I don't want to hear it. Disappointed.
