You're friend is really blinded by what happened to him. He is actually in the stage of anger. We studied about 5 phases of grieving that people usually experience when they met unnecessary circumstances. First one is denial followed by anger then bargaining, depression and acceptance. I think your friend got stuck with the anger phase. Right here, i think you should express his anger out but NOT in this way. I bet it will be much better if the girl who dumped him would talk to him to explain what she really feels. Maybe your friend did not accept what the girl said so he's trying to ruin the girls life. We have a television show here with a title called "Only you". Trixie, was a nice girl but after being dumped by TJ, she immediately turned to a devil. So her friend, Jonathan brought her in a retreat. It was very effective. Leaving your friend won't be necessary no matter how hurtful the words he said towards you. A famous saying goes like these "A friend who pushes you away would be someone who really needs your help". Oh yeah, it's not really exactly like it, but hey! it conveys the same meaning.

Just like what i have said, try to make your friend think of some thing else. Making the girl to talk to him right now won't be necessary. I think the ending would be tragic. Better help your friend think of other things like concentrating on a hobby he likes. Take him to a simple vacation that would flee her mind from what happened. Good luck!

It is sad that your friend got hurt, but he is not really your friend if he wants you to go against what you feel is right and to hurt someone else. If he was drunk at the time he said it, then it might just be his pain talking and he might not really mean it - he might just be "blowing off steam". If he says it more than once, though, then your friend needs help, especially if he wants to physically harm this girl.

no he wasn drunk when he told this to me..he seriously wants to harm her..u are right that he isn a friend if he wants me do things against my wish.. but..he has proved his friendship lot many times..in all my difficult times he has given his shoulder..nowhere so far has he violated my words..but now he is not what he is..he has lost control over himself n his frustration has turned devil.. should i let his frustartion overpower my friendship??

That's a really tough call. He is not being a friend to you right now, but if he was always there for you before then maybe you should stick by him and return the friendship he has shown you in the past. I am really concerned about the fact that he wants to hurt this girl, though. Maybe the best thing you can do as his friend is to try to get him to seek professional help before he does something really bad that might ruin not only her life and his life but also your life if you are helping him.

the problem is he's really shattered by what has happened to him..so he's saying such things to you...but if he really cares for you as much as you care for him..he'd come back to you. Anyways what I'm saying is that if she has rejected him then he's gotta forget her..nothing else...cos if she doesn't care about him then what's the point to give damage to self..in the memory of a person who doesnt give a damn .That's not called love...it's obsession.

well this is problem... I think he needs some counseling nothing else...but of course even u can somehow prevent him from these evil thoughts. Now it's upto u to somehow bring him on track before it's too late

Hey shravandone! I think your friend needs counseling. I know it's so devastating for your friend but he gotta accept the fact that sometimes in LOVE you lost. Love is also a game that you need to play. If you think you did all you have to do to help him, and still he feels that way then I don't think he needs any of those help anymore. Give him time to breath and think about his life. Give him time to heal. Don't force healing, let time heal him. Just pray for him. I'm pretty sure God is with him. And don't support his evil thoughts or doings against this girl, because you're gonna be answering to God when the time comes. At least your clean. :)

Well if he goes that far, I don't think there's something you can do to him. I would warn the girl if I were you. Tell her that she needs to stay away from him and tell her that she prays for his healing. If he does something bad to the girl, at least you warned her. It's him whose gonna be answering to the law and to God. I hope this helps.

Friendship day is for friends, and not for someone who says that he don't damn care about you.. he is the loser. He cannot handle relationship well in life,. if the girl doesn't like him, why should he take revenge. there is a point in taking revenge if the girl betrayed him.. she honestly told him that she is not interested. so this guy is insane. i m sorry to say that. you should call up his parents and say this and tell them to take him to a psychiatrist. what is he really hurts the girl. He is trying to bring you to trash, asking for your support... i would say leave his friendship.. if you like to help him, take him to a doctor. good luck

thanks for ur advice.....he really needs a psychiatrist i know..but he is not insane as u told..he is mentally upset and frustration is making him speak such words..he is really good person..and never has he been cruel to anyone...but in this matter he has gone beyond control..some how if im able to make him forget her he will be alright... and its somewhat impossible for me to leave him either..that too on frenship day...each year this day used to be a blast for us n today im in this situation...

its so nice of you to care for your friend. i dint mean that he is insane literally. i meant the madness about a girl in his life. psychiatrist is the only solution. i hope he gets some help. good luck

If he really loves his girlfriend, he won't have the idea to trouble her. Real love is not hurting. If he really cherishes friendship between you two, he won't hurt you easily. Maybe he's too depressed. You can give him some time and let him calm down.

Actually your worries are reasonable. He wants to hurt her. I have heard such cases before. If his mind is out of control in a pulse, he may commit something bad. You'd better care him more. As a listener, let him tell all he thinks. Along with his thoughts, you'd better try to tell him what's the best way. Patience is very important. As his friend i believe you really care about him. Anyway stay with him and help him through the hard times.

hello shravandone, I think he needs you now more than before. he said such words to you because he is in pain. Talk to him again and let him understand that what he is palnning is not right. He's just confused before. Never leave him, soon he'll realize that what he said to you or done was wrong. If you really his friend, you'll not give him up. Your support, understanding, love and presence is what he needs now.

A real friend will always give you the truth even when it hurts! A real friend hangs in there when the road gets rough! A real friend will go through hell to point you in the right direction.If you are to be a real friend, BE A ROCK! Something to hang onto in the storm. People in storms may not be looking for something to hang onto but often grap the closest thing. BE THERE!

No you shouldn't support his evil if you are really his good friend. You should persude him to be as nice as before . It's too horrible to change into such a person when he lost his love . He isn't in normal situation now . Please do help him to get over this girl . Move on.

Just give him his space for a while, see if he calms down and realises what he's doing. He needs to come back to reality and just talk to her - not accepting a proposal doesn't mean their relationship is over, it just means she's not ready to settle down yet. She probably just needs more time. However, if his pain has caused him to want to make her feel pain... then I can't see how he could actually claim to love her that much. Girls aren't stupid, sometimes we can see something in a man and eventhough we can't quite explain what it is we know we shouldn't be with them. I was in an abusive relationship once... and I always saw something in him that made me nervous... but I stayed by him for as long as I could, because I did love him. But sometimes you just have to let someone go.
