What should I do to make my best friend realize that her boy friend is a jerk?

Question

He makes fun of her and says mean things to her all the time. When they are around each other they usually fight. He is always making her cry and hurting her feelings. They broke up several weeks ago and she was devastated. Then he called her back crying the same night and they got back together! I’m trying to make her see that he’s not going change and they need to break up, but she can’t seem to see it. What can I do to help or make her feel better?

Answer 1

i am very sorry to read this. well as the saying goes "love is blind" she will see it when she is ready to. unfortunately all it may do is upset her if someone else tries to open her eyes for her. with all do respect do try to intervene and help her but do it in a gentle manner. it may take some time for her to see that she is a rare gem and much better than this. hang in there. good luck.

Answer 2

Unfortunately your best friend is blinded by love. There really isn’t too much you can do to change her mind. You want her to be happy, but she isn’t when she is with him. Let her know you are concerned, and you hate to see her so upset all of the time. Make sure you stay supportive and helpful, and avoid being confrontational. Hopefully she will realize he is a jerk as time goes on.  

Answer 3

You need to realize some girls LIKE JERKS.  Some women like fight in her man.  Some women love the drama and attention they get when they are crying.  Unless he's physically hurting her and she's not trying to get away from him stay out of it.  You have your own life to worry about stop butting in other peoples business.  If you h**l bent on getting him away from her the BEST thing you can do is say " I don't want to hear it anymore"  This is because your friend is addicted to the good feeling she gets when she gossips about her man to you.  SHE LOVES THE DRAMA ATTENTION AND CONCERN YOU SHOW..

Answer 4

Unfortunately there is not much you can do... except be there for her & give her a shoulder to cry on.

She has to find this out for her self & she will, but it will take some time.

Just be a good friend & try not to say i told you so every time something happens.  

Answer 5

she seems like a dumb b|tch. if she cant see how awful he is, she dont deserve a good guy.

slap that b|tch accross her face.  

Answer 6

Nothing. You shouldn't meddle in other people's relationships. You'll end up being the bad guy.

Also, is it that you want your friend to yourself?
