How to help?

[The37thElement]

I know a girl who has been dating a guy for nine months now (keep in mind, this is big for a high school relationship). On Friday, I messaged her on Facebook (I'm friendly with her), and she told me that she didn't want to talk at that particular moment. I let it go and told her that if she needed me, she could just message me. Yesterday, she explained that her boyfriend has been paying attention to another girl more than her, (signs of cheating, etc.). I told her to think about it before she made a final move. The two decided that they would sleep on whether or not they were going to break up, and decide in the morning. I don't know how this is going to end, but if it results in a breakup, how can I help this girl?

Just make her see she's better off without him

I don't really think there is much you can do to help her, except for being there for her when she feels abandoned.

Distraction is the best thing you can provide her, make sure she knows you are her friend and that you are available for talks, cries, vents or whatever else she needs.

As Abhorrence says, being a listening ear is sometimes the best that you can do for someone.

Be her friend.

The issue most people have is that they focus on the problem at hand. It is the elephant in the room so it makes sense, and the concersation will bring it up, but just dont make anhig deal of it. Be a normal friend, joke around and you will eventually end up talking about this relationship and you can help her get over it.

Dont be different, other people will and she will appreciate this^ much more than you trying to help her by focusing on it
