Letting Him GO

So your friend is very shy type as you have told and that is the reason she stepped back from her love.Otherwise she would have fought for her position.Anyhow it is good for her because that boyfriend is not reliable.How can he forget her once her ex girl friend enters the scene?That is pure selfishness and god have saved your friend.cheers!

I am not sure if she should fight for him or not. I think it should be his decision to make. She may set herself up to be hurt even worse if she forces him into choosing her over the ex.

You said she hid the relationship for almost a year. I guess that meant she knew the man has somebody. Now it ended cos the other came into the picture meaning ??? That the woman realize that her man is double-timing??? I think the girl is the one that's hurt if your friend had knew of her existence and yet jumped into the relationship. The girl is not an "ex" but an on-going if your friend had to hide the relation. Why hurt an innocent woman and children if there are by becoming a lover to a man that already has someone? It is not Fate gave them a chance to become lovers but God gave a test and your friend failed by choosing to hurt someone knowingly. Now your friend "gave up" cos she knew she's in the wrong rather than afraid of messy situation..... IS THIS THE ACTUAL SITUATION?

What is the use to fight when her partner itself wants to go back to the ex, however if her partner has also fallen in love with your friend then I think he should atleast realise that it is not good to make someone feel so loved and then when your ex is back you forget that person.! She can atleast talk to her boyfriend now.
