I have a friend (girl) who have been to 3 relationships for the past 10 years and all of her partners always ended up cheating on her with another girl and all these 3 guys would gaslight her for telling her that she was the reason why their relationship did not work out. Right now, she is in her 4th relationship. She was with him for 9 months now and the same story is now resurrecting again. She was telling me again that she caught him chatting with a another girl and when she confronted the guy, he denied it at first but after a couple of confrontations, he said that it was my friend's fault that led him to cheat. He said my friend was too obsess to him that she was suffocating him in the relationship. They are still together as of this writing as my friend apologizes and promise the guy that she will give him the freedom he wanted. As her friend, I would often tell her that nothing is wrong with her and she deserves someone who is faithful but she just ended up avoiding me. I have not talk to her for two weeks now, which is unusual as we would always talk every week. I dunno, I really miss my friend but I do not want to retract what I said to her as I believe that her current partner is also the same the the previous relationship she had. Yesterday, I sent her a message telling her that I am just here just in case she needs a friend. What would you do if you are in my situation?

That is the right thing to say to a friend. I'm going to ask a question and I just want you to think about what you see and hear while she and her boyfriend(s) are together. IS she clingy and needy with a guy? It can get really annoying when a girl acts like that. (Chatting with another girl doesn't mean he's doing something wrong. Guys are allowed to have female friends, just like girls are allowed to have male friends without somebody thinking they're doing something wrong. A girl that thinks like that is messed up and needs a reality check.) Of course, that doesn't give them the right to cheat on her. They should break up if they really feel like that and then find someone they like better.

I will get killed for this but she shows the quality of what it takes to be welcomed by America. If you ever wanted to come here.. She is not wrong in how we choose under Trump. I am with you its no laughing matter and thats tough, hope she finds piece if world does not work out the way you would like You make do and and do the best you can.
