How to Break Up a Couple?

[Altman1]

Ok I know this sounds kind of evil but I have good reasons. One of my closest friends started dating this girl a few months ago and since then, he has isolated himself from me and my friends (he was once a major part of our very close-knit group). His girlfriend clearly does not like it when he is around us and shows no interest in getting to know us at all. When he is around her, he is a completely different person and seems to act the way that she would want him to, not in a manner that actually reflects his true personality. I am both concerned regarding his dependency on this girl and his increased isolation from the rest of us. Any help would be great!

Talk to him about your observations. If he doesn't agree and is happy in his relationship, there's not much you can do. Trying to break them up will only ruin your friendship when there may not even be a problem at all. It could be that he's just changed, grew up a little, and that he simply enjoys her company more.

Let it run it's course. Like Melissa said, trying to split them up yourself will just fuck your relationship with him. If he's truly not himself around her it wont last for too long, soon enough he'll be back in your group with a relatively valuable life lesson under his belt.

Fuck him, if he wants to go of with a girl let him, 9/10 times they come back to you, at that point you tell him to go back to his precious girl. I've done it plenty of times friends come and go!

Believe me, if his true personality isn't showing, eventually, the relationship will run it's course, and he'll be coming back to you because he knows he made a mistake leaving you and your friends.

Take him on a trip to Las Vegas

There's nothing you can do. Breaking them up would just be wrong. If she's not letting him ne himself, eventually it'll piss him off and then it'll be " what girl?".

Your situation reminds me of the movie "Saving Silverman" where this guy was once of a close knit group of friends, but an evil girl comes along and deliberately goes out with him and prevents him from hanging out with his friends. The friends do all sorts of crazy things to try to break up the couple, but they were epic failures, and things only had gotten back to normal when the relationship had run its course.

I agree with the others that the relationship is going to run its course. Sooner or later this girl is going to drive your friend crazy, and those two will break up. Don't do anything to try to break them up because the girl will just use that as an excuse to sink her hooks into him. At this point hang out with your other friends and keep in contact with this guy whenever you can. If this girl is as evil as you say she is, then those two will break up without a doubt. I have seen this happen many times before, and especially if you and your friend were part of a close group, then he will eventually miss that once the honeymoon with this psycho girls is over.

tell him what you think but don't try and break them up.

Don't do it; it'll just ruin your friendship.

Do it, tell a friend of yours who likes to gossip something that would make them break up, remember that walls have ears. A rumour can do much more than doing something physically.

Thanks for all the advice guys :) my friends and I still aren't sure if we're gonna go through with anything, but any elaborate schemes just in case are much appreciated. The less chance we have of getting caught, the better.

I'm going to tell you right now that trying to split them up is a bad idea. If she changes his personality, that means ONE thing. That one thing is that they are different -- too different. I mean my girlfriend and I have been together for over 2 years for a reason. We are so much like each other that it would be not funny. Well it's so not funny that it's -- FUNNY! Sorry if that made zero sense. :P

No, but in all seriosness, wait. Highschool relationships usually don't end well. Your friend could fuck up and get caught looking down some girls' shirt.
