I've just received a message from the partner of a friend, he's set up a single profile and asked me not to tell my friend. I feel awful for her, he's been avoiding her for a couple of weeks, not returning her calls, not texting, cancelling dates. He's made it clear that he's not interested in her anymore but hasn't had the guts to tell her, I hate seeing my friend hurting over someone who obviously doesn't have any respect for her but I also don't want to be the one who tells her he's done with her, what should I do? x

To be honest, she should have realised by now. He's dropped some pretty big hints. I'd have got the message and moved on.

I wouldn't get involved if I were you.

No brainer ..... tell your friend everything....

The guy has no right to involve you in a situation of his own making......

I'm sure your friend would be mortified to find out you withheld information from her in order to protect the man

She thinks they were in a relationship and going to move in together, he paints a different story though. I have tried gently in the past few months to tell her to move on, he's been messing her around since August but last night things took a different turn when he messaged me here

Just be honest and tell her and be as kind as you can, within reason. If she turns nasty and lashes out at you, just give her time and space. If, when the dust has settled, she's still angry with you (though I don't see why she should be as you've done nothing wrong) then cut your losses and run. Good luck. x

Simply ask yourself the question

If the roles were reversed and it was your friend getting a message from your partner on fab "what would you want your friend to do" ?

Perhaps, and this is just a random suggestion.. Give him the option of either himself or yourself, in telling her. Put the ball back in his court, and if he decides he won't, at least he'll be aware you will (or might) inform your friend x

I know someone in a similar situation. The problem is, he keeps coming back to her when he's bo_ed. It's been going on for over 4 years. She's heartbroken each time he walks away. He's a complete tool but she won't listen to anyone's advice as she's smitten.

I would tell her. What she chooses to do with the information is up to her, but you've done nothing wrong so she can't be angry at you. I saw my bosses fella on tinder a few weeks back and had to tell her. Was awful but best that she knows.

He's done a horrible thing by involving you in it all though

I'd block.

He doesn't sound like the sort of bloke you'd want to interact with.

I'd also just be there for your friend, there is a possibility that the reason he hasn't definitely ended it is because he wants to check out his other options first. If he gets nowhere he may go back to her and it sounds like she'd take him back. In this case you certainly run the risk of being the bad guy (gal?)

Eventually she will see the truth, but she needs to see it for herself. That's when she'll REALLY need you.

She'll stop being your friend if she finds out you didn't tell her and lets face it the bloke will probably drop you in it anyway just to take the heat of himself....

Does your friend know you're on here though ? If not I'd have a different view on what you should do as he's being unfair making you out yourself as being on here too. He's acting exactly like my first BF did and not saying it directly. In that case a friend did tell me and I'm so glad they did.

Firstly, how did he know you were on here? Seems an odd thing to tell your vanilla friend's boyfriend?

Srcondly, if youve the guts to be open, you should practice that honesty in treating your friends decently.

It's better to be devastated in the short term than live for years thinking she's got a future with the guy.

Is it simply a case if him telling her it's over and she doesn't want to listen ?

If you lose your friend over whatever decision you make then I'd question if that's the kind of friend I need

Totally agree if he hadn't involved you then I'd say leave it especially with the hints that have already been dropped but seen as he has involved you he's put you in a tough spot and if your friend found out you knew it would look bad on you so now you should drop him in it.

"Show her the message....and your reply telling the scumbag to do one.

Then she gets a clear message and can see that you are standing by her....bit of a no-brainer in my book!"

I've blocked him, there's no way I'd be interested in him, he's a total scumbag for sure xx

"I would just tell her the writing on the wall...that clearly he is not interested in her were they in a relationship? Or just seeing each other?

She thinks they were in a relationship and going to move in together, he paints a different story though. I have tried gently in the past few months to tell her to move on, he's been messing her around since August but last night things took a different turn when he messaged me here "

Tell your mate to drop him before he drops her so it lessens the blow a bit. If she won't do it then tell her about him being on here and then tell her he's even messaged you. Don't converse with this skimy bastard because if that was my friend I'd be just as pissed off with my mate for speaking to him about me behind my back. Tell your friend. Fucksake does friendship not mean the same to people as it does down here.

Easter just around the corner!

You should message and arrange a meet and have her turn up instead to kick his backside into next week. Good luck whatever you do,it's not a pleasant situation,least of all for your friend.

Unless you know the true dynamics of another couple's relationship I advise staying out of it altogether. This means cutting contact with the guy and keeping what you know about him to yourself. It's an unpopular opinion but if she hasn't picked up on the signals he's giving out then she isn't going to believe you...trust me I've seen otherwise intelligent women discount the evidence in front of their eyes because they "know he's a rogue but they love him". She will only ever believe it when she's ready, that's when you step in and pick the pieces up if you're not sick to death of her putting up with his shit.

I know this sounds harsh but honestly if she can't take the hint from his actions she's ripe for being the wronged little lady at home.

That does sound harsh coming from you two,although I don't know if it's generally just one of you that post's.

I've blocked him, I'm going to see her later I'll know if he's said anything, she won't be able to hide it and then I'll show her his profile, it's time she realised he isn't interested any more X

It is harsh that's true but she's my friend and she's breaking her heart over a guy who couldn't give a damn about her

There are none as blind who will not see ! If not contacting her in 2 weeks don't tell her it's over then is him being on here make a difference? I see no gain from it and will make her feel even worse!

Why you even replied to him I never know ,you should of blocked soon as you knew it was him . You have zero need to become embroiled in this drama . Support your friend , give her a reality check regarding his lack of contact , mop up her tears and lend an ear and agree he's all the barstards under the sun .THAT'S all you need to do . Anything else is like twisting the knife .

It is just one of us...Mrs N. I've watched this scenario played out a thousand times and I've lived long enough to know that people who believe themselves to be in love won't be persuaded by anyone else that the object of their affection is a wrong'un they have to believe it for themselves.

I was the one at school who thought Tess Darbyfield should have known better...

Yep! And there is only one person who has the remedy for that because he's never going to have the guts and he's probably holding her in reserve.

Tell him he's an emotionally abusive prick and he should show some fucking respect for your friend.

That way you fall out with him and not her.

That you know he's here is still nothing to do with your friend .If your that concerned for her keep that firmly to yourselfthere's nothing to be gained by telling her when he's not even contacted her in weeks.

She'll be feeling bad enough with him not even contacting why make her feel worse? ??

Reply to his message telling him to man up and tell her. Put a time limit on it before you tell him that you'll have to tell her.

He sounds like a bit of a coward, so he'll do as he's told
