Re: Consoling a friend
I've been through this [censored] so many time it's not even funny. The usual order of things is that the broken hearted pal in question takes advantage of my extraordinary listening and sympathy skills and (after disregarding all of my sage counsel of how he needs to forget about said twat and move on) he ultimately runs back to the security blanket (aka ex-gf).
I have one associate in particular that has pulled this several times. After the last incident I told him to toughen the [censored] up and act like a man for once in his life. I then proceeded to inform him that I didn't want to hear about it anymore. I would suggest you follow the same course. |

Re: Consoling a friend
Nice advice. People can drain you dry on the sympathy stuff after a while, and in the end they're just gonna do what they want to do anyway, which is almost go back to any situation they've gotten used to, even if they hate it and know flat out that they hate it. People often like familiarity best of all.
