My best friend has been dating this guy now for 2 months and she really likes him but he just is a total jerk and he will always tell her that he is not mad when he really is and I found out that he didn't like me and I went up to him and was like why don't you like me and he's like I don't know and I was like so you don't have a reason and he goes no I guess you just can't like everybody.
WTF! Anyways my friend paid for his prom ticket because he said that he wanted to go with her but then 2 days ago he walks up to her and says yeah I don't want to go anymore. And he never wants to hang out with her. What should she do stay with this guy or find someone better?
Update: 2 days after I asked this question he broke up with her. :(
Just like you wouldn't bet on a horse with a broken leg, or invest in Enron *after* the scandal was uncovered, you shouldn't remain in a relationship that is dysfunctional.
A relationship is an investment on your part. Emotionally you're invested, physically as well. You're also putting your time and in some cases lots of effort to show you care.
My policy with relationships has been and will always be that if that person is treating you poorly or making little effort to invest any of themselves in the relationship, drop them, like a ton of bricks.
He's not worth her time, and they're not worth her effort. Both her time and effort would be put to better use trying to find someone who will treat her right.
This guy seems like he needs to be dropped like a bad habit but as smexxykitten said, it would be better if you don't get to involved. Plus, once your friend sees him like you do then she'll probably dump him.
He is carrying himself in a way that is somewhat already miserable. I've had bosses and exes like this. It's just not a positive situation to be in, in the long run. They like to start drama and disappear from it. I think she should worry about herself more when he doesn't want to hang out, maybe she should go out with her own friends and have a good time. And not worry about this guy so much.
Aww sweetie, I think that yes your friend should find someone new but as hard as this might be for you to hear you probably shouldn't be quite so involved. I think your friend should be the one making the decision to either stay with him or go and she'll make the right choice when she's ready. And I know you don't like him and he obviously doesn't like you but if there happy together and stuff than you really need to accept that. You can't force your friend to break up with him because trust me she'll probably hate you afterwards. Just give it some try. Good luck.
It definitely sounds like your friend needs to find someone better, but you telling her that probably won't help. You don't want to risk your friendship with her simply because she has a jerk for a boyfriend. Just be there for your friend and distance yourself from her relationship with this guy because when it all falls apart that's when she's gonna need you, be there for her with a shoulder to cry on not an I told you so.
