Thread: Friends needs advice...

OKay, so my friend has been dating this guy for just over a year. They see each other every weekend, and I spoke to both of them today. He said that they have beer the past fighting for the past 2 weekends. And now I am talking to my friend about everything, because she has been in an emotional state these past couple months, her dad passed away in the summer/fall, she is looking for a new place. And this past weekend it was her dads bday, and she spent it alone. Her bf didnt want to see her. Well, he told her today in a text "that she takes up all his spare time and he feels controlled" she said to him "i dont want to respond right now. i am still upset it was dads bday this weekend and i didnt want to spend it alone and i did"

I told her maybe they need to meet in the middle. Like see each other Friday nights, and Sunday go out for dinner and a movie. Her response was that she would say that but she would like to see him more. I then told her you have to start somewhere.

Do you think they are going to break up? Or is it something they can fix or work on?

What can I do to help the situation? Or help her make it better.

Get her to talk to him about it, or you talk to him and tell him how she's feeling. Tell him she doesn't want to control him, just weekends are usually easier.. and I honestly can understand that. But I guess he just doesn't understand that she doesn't mean any harm by it.. I think like you said.. Fridays and Sundays sounds good.. or maybe once in a while hangout during the week. I think they'll last.. if its been a year.. their relationship must be strong. Just make sure you get him to understand that she meeans no harm by this, and just to hangout during the week sometimes maybe.. cause it is nice to get out with ' the guys' some weekends.
hopefully everything worksouuut ,
