who do like as a friend ? I have a friend, and it turns out, that she is already married, separated... And it more turned out, that she is going and living with a new guy, How many times i told her that she is being abused, by him, she is the one told me, that I will help watch her guy... And she is already starting to not listen to all i said, I am telling her all truth... who do you prefer, meeting a friend, and saying all pure truth to her, and she is not believing you, and the moment you are talking to her she starts to be angry with you? or the one, that, loyal to her significant other but, you know she is being abused? I wanna hear from you all, friends... I am just being really bothered.... it's just i am taking this in good faith, I am just over compassionate perhaps as to a friends request, and I have observed that she is already starts to change...

well, a friend in need is a friend indeed..!! If you know that your friend will be in trouble because of something, you should tell her again and again about it...!! Ya, she may get angry on you, but keep on telling her that your side is true and it may hurt her very bad further...!! I think you should not give a damn to her anger.... Obviously, when things will get clear to her, she will come to know, what a great friend she has..!!

As a friend, I think that it is of utmost importance to always be completely honest with your friends. The reason that I feel this way is because if you do hide things from those that are your friends, I think that in the long run it causes a lot of problems for you between your friend and yourself. It may be the case that your friend doesn't immediately realize that you are telling them the truth, but in time they will come to recognize it and they will thank you for it later.

WHen one is in love, or deeply hurt by love, they will be reacting in that way. It's either they love the other party too much, or that they are just living in despair. To them, it no longer makes any difference when their most loved person has already left them. So whatever u say will not get to her at all. NOt in the short term and definitely not in the long term unless she sees something that will waken her senses. U can keep talking to her, show her care, concern, no matter how she treats u. WHo knows by then, she will realise her mistakes??

hi dweebs I know a bit about this as my husband and I tried to help a woman whose husband hit her and abused her, yet she wou ld refuse to press charges claiming she loved himn. oh myG. but when he began abusing the youngest child she finally listened to us, let us take her and her two kids to a battered wo mens shelter. sometimes it takes something really bad to get through to these women who think they love rtheir abuser.

Making friend is not hard but finding a true good friend seems to be the most difficult thing to me. For me, a good friend is someone who always by my side when I need her and of course I will be there for her too, a good friend is someone who I can trust and feel happy when I with her

People don't want to hear the truth. And it usually takes some horrific thing happening for them to learn anything. She gets angry because she is on the defensive and feeling put upon. Change is good but it takes time from her and patience from you. All good things in good time.

This does not sound like a good friendship for you. It sounds like an emotional trap. What do you really want from this friendship. Be honest with yourself. Few male/female friendships work out to the satisfaction of both parties.

I am afraid to say that she is not honoring the true friendship you have towards her. Unfortunately as long as she feels love for this other person she will not listen to anyone but her heart. You must remain a friend and maybe allow her to decide at some point she has had enough, hopefully she will not get hurt in the process. I suppose you can check on her frequently and just remind her that although she does not want to listen to your caring logic that you will always remain a true friend.

People make mistake. Everyday and just about everything is a learning experience. Nonetheless you can never talk of "lesson learned" unless you went through the heck of it. Good thing! we have friends, true friends that give us advice, be it solicited or not. That's what friends are for, as the song goes. Lucky are those people who have friends through thick and thin and lucky is your friend, Dweebs. Keep it up! ;)
