on 7/6/2008 My close friend was recently dumped by her boyfriend of 2.5 years. He said he needed to sleep with other people and that they had to be apart. So for the next two weeks he slept with a woman he'd met earlier, while my friend was left heartbroken and miserable.
Now that the other woman he'd met is no longer in the picture, the exboyfriend has apologized, professed his love for her, and they are back together.
I am disappointed in these circumstances, but there is nothing I can do for their relationship. It's not my place because it's not my relationship.
However, the exboyfriend has been trying to communicate with me i a casual manner, acting like nothing ever happened. I don't want to be friends with him. HE makes me sick to my stomach. What should I do?

on 6/19/2007 My ex and I just broke up a little over a week ago, and I'm already feeling better about the situation. What helped me most was what my friends have done for me, and here's what they have done:
-They plan trips that involve me. Trips to the beach, get togethers for movies and dinner, and trips to different states. It's nice to feel that my company is wanted by these wonderful people.
-They've treated me like they always have. They haven't treated me like something fragile. They made me remember who I was before the relationship. They made me see the person I was when I attracted my ex in the first place, which will help me attract others in the future.
-They've listened when I talked and would always say that I can call them anytime, day or night. Knowing that someone is there is a great feeling.
-They tell me that they love me.
Hopefully, those will tips will help.

on 2/2/2007 The way to encourage your friend after a break-up is to talk to them about the problem and tell the how they feel about it,Then after Just Change the subject about a new guy or girl,if not just tell him or her if they wan't to do something,Like watch a movie,go ice skating,or go to the mall ect.
Just make sure your friend has his or her mind off of the break up,It'll be hard,But at least just try.

on 12/8/2006 Whatever you do leave alcohol out of it. My friend and I went drinking and really hung one on - the next day was the worst day of my life. Remember - alcohol is a depressant.
