the girl I been posting about was and is having problems with her current boyfriend. she says he's controlling, mean and not making her happy. she crys,he won't let her have friends, and he just is not a guy. she said she's still with him because she's comfortable with him but not happy. I don't wanna come between her and him but she has feelings for me and she stressing out about it, like be with me? will I change how I am and become mean? should she remain with him or try with me? I think she should wait longer....I don't want her thinking i will change. I was raised treat the girls with respect. if anything I will just be thinking what I need to do yo become a better guy from what I am. you can say that I'm guy who never gets a girl when they going through this...so I will let her choose but I will not wait...im looking for another girl that hahaha. honest opinions please

@cornelljdav,
Anyone in a relationship where "he won't let her have friends" (are you sure that's all friends, or just male friends, BTW?), well, that's just a big ole red flag. Isolation is often (not always) a prelude to abuse or proto-abuse.

HOWEVER (and I'm shouting that so that maybe you'll actually read the remainder of this post), you have an agenda - to have her for yourself. Perhaps you are seeing/hearing what you want to hear. And, even if your observations are accurate, and even if she really does need an intervention, you would be doing it for selfish reasons.

Therefore, talk to a female friend of hers. Is this friend seeing the same pattern? Is there truly something to be concerned about? If there is, then suggest to the female friend to talk to her. Not in a "hey, you guys need to break up ASAP" manner. Instead, more along the lines of "we miss you and are your friends and want to see you" manner. There are men who are not abusive jerks but who are still in the "mine mine mine" zone. He might be one of those and, if he sees he is not threatened by her friends, he'll slack off.

But he has reasons to feel threatened by you, because you have an agenda.

See how that works?

Oh, and understand something. People who we desire who are in relationships with others aren't always in a bad way. Even if that relationship seems less than ideal from the outside, understand that you are looking at it with your own attitude, your own glasses on. Things may be better than you believe. In real life, rarely are things that black and white and obvious.

@cornelljdav,
If she's being isolated from everyone, then it's a serious issue. I forget - are you all in school? If you are, then talk to someone in authority. They can't necessarily do much, but the more people who observe this, the better.

Unless you hear this right from her mouth, it's all gossip.

Ask this girl for coffee after work and find out what's going on. She may just be having a rough time with her BF at this time.

Make sure you are seeing this situation as it is, not what you'd like it to be. She may just need a friend to talk to.

@cornelljdav,
Stay out of the gossip loop. You keep saying that the woman did or said something but you're only repeating what someone else has said. You have absolutely no idea of the truth of it.

Let her friends deal with her/talk to her.

Move on with your own live and stop listening to/encouraging gossip.

You have no understanding of what's going on based on the steady diet of gossip you seem to be living on.

no she doesn't.

her "friend" is saying these things.

If it is true, her friend should be assisting her in dealing with this. Tell her friend you don't want to hear anymore of this second-hand reporting. Her friend can find someone else to gossip to while you move on with your life.

if she is in college, she can reach out to instructors/counsellors at college

her friend should help her with that while you stay out of it
