My friend just broke up with her long term boyfriend. I always find it awkward to know what to say. Any ideas?

He wasn't horrible or anything, sounds like they just drifted apart. What are some good things to say to make her feel a little better? What would you like people to say to you? Answers asap please cos I'm meeting up with her v.soon.

Answer 1

Try not saying anything. At this time you really need to let your friend do the talking and just listen. Be there for your friend at this difficult and challenging time.

Answer 2

Just give her a hug, then go shopping or something.  Make things go back to normal for her.

just tell her your sorry to hear they have split, and that if ever she wants to chat, you will be there, she maybe fine over it and not want to chat anyway, but its nice to let her know there is someone willing to listen. good luck
