A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

My best friend is suffering through a terrible heartbreak, im trying to help her out because she is suffering so much in pain.

My friend and her ex, as a couple were my best friends. My friend is soooooo sweet and she is the one to always work things out, she is a junior in high school and her boyfriend is a senior, they have been together 2 years and they have broken up three times before and both times she was the one who made up to get back together. Then one time he made up.

They have also slept with each other so their relationship is serious, but the point is he broke up with her and it happened because he said he wanted to spend his senior year with guy friends, she was okay with that and all he had to do was say can I hang out with my guy friends but he never asked and broke up with her after she drew him a picture of his grandma when his grandma was in the hospital, he took it the wrong way and got angry but she was always there to comfort him and he never seen that. Then when that grandma died he invited her to the funeral and when she triend comforting him and hugging him, he made no contact and emotion so she was hugging him and he was just there sitting like stone. After that they broke up, So basicly she was always the sweet one trying so hard to be so nice and in the end he never really appreciated what she did, now he's graduating and talking to another girl and my friend is in pain that after all they been through because he was a good guy to her, that how could he just push her aside and not care so my question is now how do I help her cope and get over him, im trying taking her out places and that works for the day but she's really depressed

aunt honesty agony auntI guess there is not a lot you can do sweetie but be there as a friend. Its the best that you can do. Be there for a shoulder for her to cry on and show her that you care. Taking her out is great as well because it takes her mind of things. Are there any exciting hobbies or groups that you could both join something that will be fun and might give you both the oppertunity to meet new people and have a laugh. I guess thats the best you can do sweetheart, and believe me she is very lucky to have a sweet and caring friend like you.
