why things don't work out,the way it should be?

August 2, 2011 8:44am CST
I have a friend and she has a boyfriend for 2 years, they promised many things to each other and planning to get married when they graduated and both got a job, the guy is already welcome to her family and the same also with her on the guys family, but just last week they broke up and don't even talk anymore because my friend caught him dating another girl, and now my friend is so sad and cries a lot... all i could tell her is maybe they're not meant to be and she deserves a better man, but still all she did is cry. what do you think about this? what is the best way to console her? please help my fellow mylotters.

Just let her pour out what she really feels. We did know that's so painful for her and you can't do nothing about it by this time. I was cheated once by my bf, but I just let my self enjoy in the company of friends. Why not ask her to go hang out with your close friends. Maybe it can help.

This really shows how unpredictable life is when having relationships with people. You never know from one day to another. As one said time is a good healer. I have also learnt to change my own thoughts by make a choice to NOT THINK OF PAINFUL experience. Tell her to put her mind on happy things and joyous experience. I know it is hard to say and to do it. But you can learn to discipline your thoughts. You have the ability to choose your thoughts, which brings good feelings in your body. A way is to help her to do activities that brings happiness in her being. Watch a funny movie, go biking, spend time with animals. Animals are good healers being intimate and loyal.

Oh, that sounds very sad. I can certainly well-understand your friends feelings at this time. But, things happen like that in life. It may just be for the best too. It may be because a better life is waiting for her, and that may be just in the near future. Give her best wishes for happiness !

Well its not the end of the world, just that they used to be together for a couple of years and made memories, yes, i believe they are not meant for each other, but remember , the world is still moving, up and down, it goes back and forth, maybe somehow, they just been tested on how to go about losing each other and how to handle them well. maybe God has other plans for them, and of course, if that is so, God will give them the best for each other too.

I've been into this kind of situation. i had a boyfriend for 5years but he accused me of having an affair with someone else that led us to breakup. But knowingly, he was the one who like someone else then. what my friends did was they invited me to party, had some fun, they make sure that i wont be alone in my place crying. well, that was helpful 'coz i forgot the pain i felt that time. but since that fun wont last long and wont be everyday, there is still this pain you can feel. all i can say for your friend is that, she should try to face other things, try not to think of him though its hard, the best cure for that pain is your friends. I mean she should be with them. have some fun with friends. then after all you'll realize that he's really not the one. and the love you had for him will slowly fade.

In China, we say the best way to heal a wound is time. It really makes sense. No matter what you do, the wound is always there. But I do think you can help your friend to ease and forget the pain soon. Take her outside to do some exciting sports.

I also don't know why many things break a love apart. Hopefully your friend will get better and move on. Try to get her another guy friend to console her.

Nothing you can say at this moment can make her feel better. But your mere presence and your shoulder that she can cry on is enough. Just be there to listen to her because she actually doesn't want to listen to anybody right now because of the pain. It's really terrible and there's nothing you can do as of the moment but just be by her side. Time can heal her alone and soon she will realize that she needs to move on and you will be there to have fun with her.

Hey friend to cry quietly and no way to turn back the clock. I just know how you feel because you are put in place of the two. but also why they put in your place. Did you know simply and say that life goes on. cloudless happiness will get disconnected every so obviously it was written. I know it hurts and you are all injured but there is no way to change things. just try to think clearly and to be treated with respected C to others. I wish everything possible to order and you do not suffer. Have a nice day!
