Me and my best friend have been friends for over 14 years now but 2 months ago I told her that if she got back with her ex I would no longer talk or be friends with her even though we have been there for each other through everything. Let me tell you why I told her this then please let me know if I was wrong. She was dating this guy on & off for a year and a half, I say on & off because when they broke up or got into a big argument he would go back and be with his ex. So this last breakup got ugly on his part. She told him she didnt want to be with him anymore because he was just outright being mad and using her. He was living with her for 6 months not working (and wasnt trying to find one) mine you she has a 3 year old daughter that she put to the side to be with his guy. Well when they broke up he kept sending her text messages saying stuff like "I hope you total your car", I wish you would die", and "When I see you if you do or dont have a new man I'm going to rape you". And he also told her he was back with his ex and that they were getting married. So about a month she starts talking to him again and lying about. So I told her if she go back to him after all that stuff he said, not to mention he wish death on you and your child because what if you did total your car your daughter do ride in their with you. I would not talk to her or be her friend because Im sorry once he wish death on your child how could you be with someone like that and mine you he say he was going to rape you. At first she thought I was playing because she would call and talk about him to him so I would hang up. She still text and call me but I dont reply because Im tired of it. Im tired of the late night calls when he do her wrong, Im tired of the he keeps going back to her and being mad to me saga. My thing is you have a child put your child first and a good man will come to you. MyLot friends please tell me if I was harsh/wrong by saying that or was I right to tell her that?

Best friend, Hi Eanniece, I think you were right by telling your friend you'll have nothing further to do with her if she decides to go back to her ex. He's done a lot of bad things to her. So by now you're able to see that relationships can get a bit nasty. I think that you would do yourself a favor by staying out the middle of it. Even though she may need a friend to stick by her but it just doesn't sound like something that you'd want to be mixed up in the middle of. Her bf sounds like he can be a bit crazy and if you know like I know, you will be a whole lot better off just keeping your distance. Some people may like the drama but believe me, this doesn't sound like a good situation for anyone. take care and hope you find yourself a new best friend.......... Peace out!

Thanks Citychic. I think I made a good decision but I wanted to make sure because sometime I speak before thinking. Thanks again.
