Never in my life have i heard of this before!! I had a chat with one of my friends girlfriends and i was shocked to learn a very different side of him as to what i am used to. He actually want his girlfriend to be as he want her to be. She loves to talk and he doesn't like it. He wants her to wear what he likes, go places he normally visits and damn this list is endless. She really is very unhappy. Now, i have a mind of butting in, but i need to consider this very carefully. If i say something he might leave her, if i keep quite, he will really want to change her. How damn rude and stupid. How would you handle this situation?

Hi Saphrina, Always remember that we are not in control of our friends' lives, just as they have no control over us. It is inappropriate that we meddle in their affair to think that his girlfriend did nothing to change her life being too submissive to her boyfriend. Let her initiate a way to change her life; don't push her to do things not according to her freewill. You can't do anything to a person blinded by so much love, if she is unhappy then let her resolve their problem, being in a relationship we are not ask to change someone the way what we want them to be...let that someone change according to his/her will.

Hi saphrina. I think I would have a good word with your friend and try to talk out with her. I think you have to do it subtly otherwise she might take it against you. I hope that you manage to make her see what her boyfriend is really made up of before it is too late. I hate when somebody tries to control another person.

Can you have a good word with him if he is your best friend? You might be an eye opener for him. You can teach him how to deal with a woman properly. Perhaps he is young, inexperienced guy and needs some tips :)

Hey saphrina! You are right this is a tough one! I don't think that you shout say anything! What you should do is try to get your girlfriend to realize that this is a very bad relationship and try to get her to speak up for herself! If you do say something then she might get upset with you for speaking up and if he does leave her she will blame you and I don't think you would want that either! That is what makes it an impossible situation! You are damned if you do and damned if you don't so the only thing you can do is keep trying to talk to your girlfriend and get through to her! Otherwise, it is her life and she will have to learn this on her own. She will find out sooner or later or he will end up leaving her anyway!

The sad part is that they are so good together. But now they are starting to behave like children. But, i am going to teach both of them to eventually face the music they are dancing to. Thanx sweetie. TATA.

tell him when he had a good mood about every person have an unique personlaity. If he wants to changed it, then he don't know what love is, and don't know how to love someone just the way they are.

Good Morning dea Saphrina , well first of all i terrible sorry to hear what you girlfriend is going trough right now , and i could havetwo or phew opinions i would like to share.One of them would be , if this girlfriend of yours really loves and cares that much about her boyfriend and if she is ready to change herself for the sake of this person , then there is nothing that you cann say to her to make her change her will , but regardlless if this grilfriend oif your is not involved in a deep and serios relationship with this person and the fact that he is trying to change her all the time and this makes her unhappy , then i would like to advice her to have a talk with this person , and tell him that the fact that he is trying to change her it make her unhappy and that if he wants to keep seen eachother he needs to leave her some space and let her be the person she wants to be and stop telling her how to be , because this makes her unhappy and at a turning point she will want to not be with him anymore , even if at the start of the relationship she had a great amount of love for him. Have a nice day dear Saphrina

I don't like it either sweetie. But, unfortunately we cannot always have our own way in life. But that would have been nice, though. Thanx. TATA.
