petrea_mitchellActual headline: Why Tho? How can I encourage my friend to dump her unnecessarily mean boyfriend?
Dear Lizzy,
I have a friend who is dating a guy I think is bad for her. He is every red flag in the book. He is condescending, throws tantrums when things don’t go his way and is unnecessarily mean. He is pretty much every terrible guy Taylor Swift has ever written a song about.
Whenever she tells me about their relationship, I try to listen and come from a place of non-judgement, but it’s getting harder for me to do that. I’m concerned that she may end up moving in with or getting engaged to this person.
Am I out of line to tell her that I think she should break it off? She’s an adult and has to make her own decisions, but every time she tells me about their relationship it sounds more and more toxic, and I’m worried about her. What can I say to her that doesn’t judge or push, but also encourages her to see that this is a bad situation?
