Need to get this relationship figured out

Okay…so my friend is a person I simply can not seem to get thru to…eye roll I’ve tried everything to tell her this is not right…

Yesterday was a normal day for her…her and her boyfriend got a late dinner together with one of their mutal friends (I know the guy, he’s really nice and he’s a good friend to her boyfriend as well as my friend)

And immediatly afterwards, the friend…we’ll call him “andy” looked at her boyfriend who we’ll call “matt” and said “alright, so my place?” matt quickly agreed, and pretty soon my friend who we’ll call “marie” was on her way to andy’s house.

Now…beforehand marie had no prior knowledge of matt and andy’s plans to basically hang out at andy’s playing video games…(she’s not a big fan of video games) and she was feeling rather confused by this. She had been expecting matt to go home with her for a few hours and spend some time together since the week had thus far been really rough for both of them and she was hoping they’d watch a movie together…

They ended up playing video games until late into the night, and while she didn’t have to work today she was exhausted after a couple hours and really wanted to go home to sleep, still feeling hurt and confused. Andy and matt are not bad guys…otherwise I would have advised her to ditch matt a long time ago…but I think they’re taking advantage of her compliant demeanor without realizing it…

She was hurt and offended and I’ve been telling her she needs to talk to matt, cause this was clearly bugging her. She’s chickening out on me…anything anyone else can say to set her straight on this? Any thoughts?

Answer #1

Uh huh… best thing you can tell her to do is be straightforward. Since he did that yesterday and she left without a word of despair or disagreement with the whole night of games obviously Matt doesn’t realize what he did. And he will continue to not know for as long as she hides this point that leaves her hurt. Or possibly you fawkefire can tell him yourself but im guessing the relationship shouldn’t even you. Make her do the same Matt did, why don’t you spend some nights out with Marie away from Matt so that he can feel jealous and possibly expressing how he feels. #hereafter Marie also tells her story and its settled… hopefully lol. P E A C E!

Answer #2

you cant make her do something she doesnt want to do but tlkd to andy and matt and tell matt to tlk to her hope I helped

Answer #3

well what I would tell her to do is GROW A PAIR [balls] and confront him about it . hope it helps. :D

Answer #4

Maybe the best thing to do for your part is tell her if shes not going to listen to what you got to say then tell her to not tell you nothing all at.

Answer #5

sighs I wouldn’t be asking this if it hadn’t happened several times. I don’t like getting involved with my friend’s relationships…but she came to me with this story. Now I really do like Matt and Andy…they’re sweet guys and I’m pretty sure this was just one of those times where they assumed she was cool with hanging out with them…and I am pretty sure if Andy had known Marie wanted to spend some “alone time” with Matt he wouldn’t have asked…they’re just not jerks…

Ugh…I feel like I’ve had this conversation with her about ten times before and she’s just not getting it…I get where you’re coming from, I’m just so frustrated with her…
