A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I want to help my best friend (a real friend, not just me pretending). Basically she's got this new boyfriend, but she never speaks about him. I've asked our other mates about this and they have all said the same...I find it a bit weird!! She got with this new guy not very long after splitting from a longterm relationship. 

She has had to deal with a lot of issue brought on by her parents divorcing, and she used to share everything with her previous bf...but with this new one she tells him nothing, I know this coz she tells me about the issues...but still doesn't talk about her new bf!

...and the other day I was saying about my boyfriend "he can be a bit of a dick, but he's a gentleman at heart". Her response was not regarding her new bf, but the old one...saying "He was always a gentleman". So strange, on that situation you'd expect her to say about her new bf, not her ex. 

She broke up with him, mainly because the relationship turned into long distance, because had to move back home for some reason and she needed him round because she was hurting due to the parents divorce etc. 

I'm so confused, she doesn't seem very happy...I think mainly to do with her parents, I just wanna help her. 

Thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

dirtball agony auntIt takes time to build up the trust to talk to people about such things. The new BF just isn't there yet. She may not be in a place where she's emotionally able to let him in just yet either. Just be there for her when she needs a friend and let their relationship unfold as it does.
