Friend in need?

India
February 1, 2017 10:00am CST
My best friend is having some issues with his girlfriend. Apparently, it's his first relationship and he's become a "desperate lover" type person nowadays. Whenever I sit and scroll the newsfeed I see his boring "broken heart" posts which really annoys me. I've tried talking to him about his problems many times but he never shared with it me. I've always been supportive but now I don't know what to tell him. So, I've started maintaining distance with him and hoping that he'll find his way out soon.

He has to understand it alone, broken hearts are hard to heal. You can be there for him if he needs help. Otherwise you can keep your distance for now and check in with him sometimes just to check if he is doing ok.

@Slayqueen Helping might mean just to listen to him, every person needs a different kind of help. Maybe he also wants to be alone at the moment. It is best not to be involved in the decisions, I agree. You can just be present if they want to talk. Or not, it's your choice, only you know what kind of situation you are dealing with.

@besweet however I think it is very kind of you to think how you can help him. I hope he gets over it soon.

I don't know how to help him.. I think it's better if I stayed away from him..as I don't want to get in the middle of something

Just give him his space. He will get it over soon. I hope. Besides, you tried talking to him. In time he will talk it out.

I understand that you want to help your best friend. I would also do the same if I were in your shoes. But I guess the only person that can help your best friend is himself. There's no other way for him to get up on his feet and heal his broken heart, but for him to accept or face it and choose to move forward. Of course, it's just a phase, but it may be affecting his daily life already, as it may show on his Social Media posts. He cannot just heal his heart by just posting them on Social Media though. By the way, are they still together?

Yes that's right.. whenever they fight he removes his status and profile picture on WhatsApp. I think it's ridiculous. They broke up day before yesterday and now they're back together again. It happens a lot.
