Friend Help

[homeboy]

Hey Guys,
I have been coming here for both Steve's and Erin's interesting blogs. A friend of mine is in a tight spot with his relationship. I've never been in one before so I can't really advise him on anything. Here's the situation. They have been going out for a year or so and been doing ok. I am friends to both of them but I knew her first but really know him better. So she had gone away for break and starting this semester, she broke up with him. Now two weeks afterward, she was dating someone and he caught her kissing the other dude. Since we all have the same class, he obviously can't avoid her (which I told him to do). They are ok together and she gets pissed off easily by the simplest things. They have been doing it on and off (I've been told) but aren't officially together. Now they are going on spring break together with a bunch of my other friends and I don't think its going to be so well. I won't be going on the trip so I won't be there for support if anything goes down. Any advice for me as a friend or for him would be much appreciated.

Thanks
HB

P.S. I hope neither of them finds this post else im dead.

Hi homeboy,

I think that your friend has to work this out for himself. There isn't a huge amount you can do, especially as you won't be there at spring break. However you can keep in contact with him while he's away and just let him know you are only at the end of a phone if he needs to speak with you.

Hopefully he won't try any daft tricks like trying to make her jealous by flirting with someone else as that tends to backfire.

You sound like a good friend unfortunately you can't solve his problems for him, however much you want to. It will mean a lot to him just to know that you are there for him.
