That's usually what keeps people in relationships that don't work in any other context. She'll come around eventually, just make sure you're there with a glass of wine when she needs you.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682425461072994795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250165332425049471.post-55281959515913130422008-09-11T11:41:00.000-07:002008-09-11T11:41:00.000-07:00Sounds like your girlfriend is kind of neurotic an...Sounds like your girlfriend is kind of neurotic and annoying. Why is she dating someone if she's worried about his tattoos and appearance.

Wow. There's "your" problem right there. Not his or hers. <BR/><BR/>As far as giving advice to a friend, they can ask first, and if you deem it so important to give anyway, ask them if they want it, and if they do, give it once (hopefully after you actually have spent some quality time with that other person) and move on.<BR/><BR/>All we've read so far is that he didn't want her to go to a wedding with him and he didn't want to meet the parents. My next question is how long has the relationship been? 6 months? A year? If it has been a while, i.e. several months minimum and exclusive, then she can express her feelings directly to him. Perhaps he is unaware of the problems? If the situation doesn't change to your friend's liking, your friend will have to make a decision how happy and satsified she is or isn't. Perhaps this person isn't treating your friend well on a consistent basis? The first thing you do is communicate that. Your friend based on your description struggles with communication, confrontation, and with an overbearing friend who gives opinions on people she hasn't even met. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I am the only one who didn't see or read the horror?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390914916496206532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250165332425049471.post-24483411608215275552008-09-08T12:51:00.000-07:002008-09-08T12:51:00.000-07:00Same could be said for men.

I cut him so much slack that I married him. Your friend will never drop him because of what you say, she has to come to that realization herself. All my wonderful friends did what you are doing for her, and while I listened & knew they were right, things just hadn't gotten bad enough yet. Now that I'm out of the marriage, it's amazing to me that it took as long as it did for me to wise up, and I'm sorry that I drove my friends nuts in the process. And I still have a friend who has now wasted 5 years of her life on a loser guy, and was VERY vocal about how I needed to drop mine. We have drifted apart because she bought a duplex with him & basically spends all her time with him. It's sad.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036315388928626482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-250165332425049471.post-41552062235662529162008-09-02T20:55:00.000-07:002008-09-02T20:55:00.000-07:00Oh boy - I've been here many many times and there ...Oh boy - I've been here many many times and there is no amount of words that will make her listen. I have learned that for my own sanity I can't hear all the details of every disappointment because it gets to be too much to handle. Hopefully you have made it clear what you think and all you can do is wait for her to realize it herself.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357867183901969236noreply@blogger.com
