~Angel~ Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 OK, A while back I told you about my friend who's boyfriend(ex now) cheated on her. He dumped the other girl and now he wants to get back together with her. She wants to too. All my friends are trying to stop her to warn her that he'll probably do it again even her mum tried but she yelled at all of us to get lost and she can take care of herself and she can date whoever she likes ad she just ran off after that. How can I make her see that he'll probably do it again. he keeps sending her these notes and texts telling her that he loves her and he made a mistake and it'll never happen again and she's actually believing him.How can I make her see sense? Any help? She hasn't eaten for the whole day because she's angry with us. I told her that her food hasn't done anything to hurt her so why won't she eat and she just ignored me and walked away.
summer_bay_rules Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 How old is your friend? Maybe you just need to let her cool off for a bit and wait until she calms down before mentioning it again. Then you just need to stress to her that you're only looking out for her and trying to protect her. Just make her understand that you're not out to stop her from being happy but you're just concerned.
~Angel~ Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 We all told her that but she wouldn't listen, I told her that if my boyfriend ever cheated on me with another girl I would never let him have another chance because it's likely that he'll do it again and she just yelled at all of us to stop noseying around in her life. And I can't convince her to eat anything, I'm worried... . I've known her since I was 3 and I don't want to lose her friendship now... BTW: I've known all my best friends since I was 3 so you'll probably get confused
summer_bay_rules Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Wow since you were 3, I wish I had friends like that. I've had most of my friends for about 5 years. It's a tough situation you're in and I'm sure that once she's had time to cool down and think about it then she will talk to you. I would be the same as you in that I wouldn't give him another chance. Hope everything turns out okay. Keep us updated!
~Angel~ Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 I will. She just really liked him and he was all she evr talked about and then he cheated on her and now the chance to get back together with him has come up and she wants to take it. She believes he is the one she loves and no-one else is out there for her
summer_bay_rules Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 She's blinded by love and all she can see is a person who says he wants to be with her. At the moment she can't see past this. Hopefully, given time she will see that he's cheated once and could easily cheat again.
Skykat Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 In my experience people in this situation will not listen to anything you say and you'll only end up making things worse. She'll only learn by her own mistakes, theres not much you can do except be there to pick up the pieces when he does hurt her.

Just do it constructively, and make sure she knows it's because you care, and not because you're being difficult.
Skykat Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 So now who's always right? Sorry Nicole couldn't resist!
Frankie Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 Sometimes you have to sit back, watch people make horrendous mistakes and then be there to pick up the pieces...of course there is always the remote possibility that he means it and that this time it will work out....for her sake it would be nice if that was the case.
