My friend is 20 years old and found out her fiance cheated on her last week (I think this is the 2nd time he has cheated).... She still wants to stay with him because she's afraid of feeling lonely......how do you talk to a person to open up her eyes and see that this relationship can not be any good for her? How do you convince a person to leave someone when they don't want to face reality?How do you convince a friend (girl) to leave her fiance that cheated on her?
You can't really, and you aren't the one to get involved. Unfortunately in such cases you have to let her figure it out for herself.How do you convince a friend (girl) to leave her fiance that cheated on her?
Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot that you can really do or say; this is something that she needs to learn and figure out on her own. All you can do is offer your support as a friend - I know it's hard to stand by and watch it happen; but in the end she is going to need all the support she can get.
Have they set the wedding date yet? Do a lot of people know about her fiance cheating on her? Sometimes, just to save face, people will try to keep the relationship going. If she already has made wedding plans she might be embarrassed about telling people the wedding is off - it's hard to admit that. Even though he was the one who cheated, you still feel like a fool because this person didn't care about her enough to stay faithful. It's a heartbreaking situation to see, but she is the only one who is going to be able to make the ultimate decision.
Just try to be a good friend - I know it's frustrating to watch; when you aren't the person in the situation it's easy to say that you would leave him, etc. but when you are actually the person in the situation things are usually a lot more complicated than that.
Hopefully in the end your friend will make the right decision...
I think the only way she'll be convinced is when she realizes being lonely is better than being with aa scum bag..it takes a while.
she is overwhelmmed and blindd by loves.
stay out of her personal matters u creep. it sounds like u hav a thing for her, leave her alone.
She's not going to listen to you. She's got to learn the hard way! Just be there for her when she finally wakes up!
You can led the horse to water, but you can't make them drink: What's so damn funny about life and people is, even in the worst circumstances it's usually something very small that makes them snap back into reality,.. a song, a scene in a movie, a passage from a book, over hearing a complete strangers conversation etc. etc.
Your friend is 20 so I am hoping her boyfriend is about he same age and though 20 year olds think they are all grow'd up, little do they know they could still have a physical growth spurt and surely their brain is not 100% developed yet. Having said that we humans do a lot of silly stuff when we are young. He is silly for cheating and she is silly for staying with him. I'd say it was serious and these are two people in need of counseling if they were let's say in their 30's.
Hon, leave well enough alone. She will come to her senses sooner or later,.. most of us do. He could realize he will lose the young lady that loves him if he doesn't change his ways. If you led her to the water give her time to drink.
