bad romance

I'm still feeling like that over my ex. I loved him tremendously but he decided he wasn't treating me correctly or fairly (and in ways I agree) and other stuff from our situation was bothering him to the extent that he wanted to break up with me though I kept trying to win him back. It's hard being without him and hurts a lot, but I'm still living and continuing. It's difficult to find someone to fill that void because it feels they are irreplaceable. It is possible to meet someone better, more in line with you and treats you as you wish to be treated (I would hope positively). I mean, how would I know if someone was better if I hadn't gone through the bad relationships/break ups and experiences? A lot of this involves time, talking, and support for your friend. In my case, my ex isn't allowing me to fall back on him. I'm not sure of your friend's situation but if it truly is bad, they should realize it and think of how it is affecting them and the relationship they are in. Being constantly treated badly is the worst thing to happen and can make the person have lower self-esteem and be more depressive or upset. Hopefully you'll be able to help them through or discuss the issues you are seeing but they are blinded to.

I know exactly how that is. It took me a long time to get over my ex. At first, I was devastated when he broke up with me on my birthday after an almost four-year relationship. Then I looked back at all the cheating, lying, verbal, and physical abuse he did towards me and I all of a sudden got very angry. I finally realized that I was better than that and that he didn't deserve to be in a relationship with a girl like me at all. Now, I've definitely gotten over him, and I never want to be with a guy like him anymore. The only thing is I don't think I'll ever forgive him for all that he put me through. It's a slow healing process. My advice to you is to explain to your friend that they can find someone better. It takes a lot of patience. (I mean, I've been single for a year and 4 months.) Always be there for them though. Even though it may feel like a long time, they wont be single forever. They need to wait for the right person to come along and not just accept anyone. Let them know that getting back into those bad relationships is only a vicious cycle that will never end, and that they will never find true happiness if they do not let go and move on. Just be honest, and don't hold back on them. They are seriously being taken advantage of, because that other person isn't the one feeling the pain. They need to know the truth, and that they can do much better, because they are worth it.
