I have a very good friend, She doesn't have boyfriend since birth. She met a guy, I think she really love. The guy is sensitive, immature,insensitive to others most specially to my friend's feelings, He throws a lot of insulting words, He only want things by his ways, he got mad easily, and unreasonable and assuming. I don't like him.(Obviously). My friend said she knows what she's doing,my friend is indeed inlove but when will you say stop? I am concerned of her feelings...Just that.:)

Love is truly blind. I must admit I fell for a man very much like that. I married him, raised two children and we celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary in January. A skunk will sometimes change their colors. He has matured a lot over the years. There was a lot of rocky moments in our relationship but we got over it. He treats me with more respect now than ever. I'm glad I stuck with him. Let your friend make her own mistakes. She's going to need you to tell her problems to more than ever if she stays with this guy.

AT this moment in time, your friend is deaf and blind. She's blinded by her overwhelming emotions. There's no saying when exactly she should stop and when she'll give up in that relationship. I have seen people who were even abused and yet still stay in a relationship. I call it stupidity but I never call it to their face. In silence, i really do think it's stupidity. I think i'm just glad that i'm not in that kind of relationship or i would also be calling myself stupid.

Just get ready with your shoulder to cry on, just in case she decides to be brave and admit her stupidity and end it all.

Meh. All adolescents go through this phase. :) Chill and let her be. You'll have the right to say "I told you so," soon. :p Just be nice and bite your tongue when the opportunity presents itself. :p Just watch out for danger signs, like he's going to take advantage of her obsession, or if they form a relationship and he gets abusive. When your friend gets secretive or starts to act strange, call the attention of her parents or your guidance counselor.

Your friend is experiencing the first stages of a domestic violence victim (Denial). All the studies show that the abuse will escalate. Check this link or any other on domestic violence. Then try to tactfully show your friend that she is in grave danger. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm

hi ptower, Thanks for the link you posted in deed it will be very helpful for us, anyway, i think my concern for my friend is not that deep enough, the situation is still controllable at this moment, I can get him picked by the police if ever he will do worst than what he is doing, I assure you its not that complicated yet, thanks for the concern too, I'll try to communicate this topic to her. THanks a lot.:)

if she has not had a boyfriend for a long time them she does not really know what a real relationship is. It might take alot for her to see that he is no good. try to talk to her and tell her how she is supposed to be treated.

HI, Thank you for the comment, she might not have any experience but i am very sure she knows how should a relationship work and she perfectly understand that the guy isn't very good enough for her, she just can't let go the feelings, the guy maybe have some good qualities, that why, and i wonder, I'm leaving it to her...haha, i am just here to help her anyway,.

So,this guy is your friend's first boyfriend is it? Is that's the case,then your friend love this guy that much and she was blinded by that love. All you have to do at this moment is support your friend,and talk to her. I am sure she won't listen to you since she only feels the love and happiness that she is enjoying. Just pray that your friend will realize and see the real person she loves much.

Uhm, they're not yet offcial the guy was just assuming, she just get in to it, for friendships purposes, but i think she can't help the feelings, and i know shes fighting too, but she explained she is just maintaining the friendship and i know she hurts a lot.

First love is fascinating, that's what your friend feel.Let her for a while enjoy the moment and let's hope it's just the matter of time to make her realize that her boyfriend can't treat her that bad!Tell her slowly that falling in love doesn't mean he can treat you like he want.If she deny your advice, you can see what next situation.If he's boyfriend become so over, you can help her to calm the situation and once again tell her he's not the right one.

As most people before me said, she is blinded by her emotions right now. First love is usually the strongest and very hard to break off but if this guy is as bad as you say. sooner or later she will see him for what he is and just give up on him. I just hope that ptower76 is wrong, because if he's right then she will need help. And if you see that at any moment she's not happy that she's with him or maybe if you're really good friends and she tell you that, you'll have to help her get out of the situation. Hope she will see him for what he is and do the right thing and that everything will be OK for her in the end.
