Open Question: What do I do when my best friend’s boyfriend is a jerk?
So me and my best friend have been very close for almost five years now. We use to hang out all the time, every weekend. We had the funnest times and never fought. We had the most amazing, healthiest friendship ever. Then, summer was gone… and so was my best friend.. See, she found out around August that her boyfriend of 7 month cheated on her with some girl he met on his cruise.. I really think that’s what made her change. Anyways, she started texting this guy that I defnintely did NOT approve of just because I knew how he was. He use to text me trying to get dirty pics all the time (I never did, he was just a worthless perv to me). So I already didn’t like him. And then, only two weeks after her last breakup, her and jerkhead started dating. I honestly feel that she only dated him in the first place cause she knew that her ex bf hated him. But, anyways, a couple weeks went by, and I didn’t really like that this guy was controlling and pushy, but I didn’t say anything. Me and my best friend still hungout a lot. Well, one day, I got this 5 page text from my best friends bf telling me that I need to back off her and stop hanging out with her cause it was annoying. And he didn’t want me around when our group of friends hung out, but since my best friend did want me there he didn’t say anything.. That hurt. But what hurt even more was that my best friend didn’t stand up for me.. She just kept telling me that he kept complaining about me and she said if he has a problem then tell me, not her. It’s not like I expected her to choose my side over his, but she could at least tell him that was mean! All she told me was “he has nothing against you”.. well, anyways, as time went on, things got worse. I started seeing her less and less, and it got to the point where I only saw her at school (which it is to this day still like that). She would lie about where she was, when I really knew she was with her bf. She would stand up for him over me, and I knew she knew our friendship was falling apart. Me and her use to have a friendship where we could tell eachother everything that was on our minds… Well, thats what I did. I told her that I felt she was with him too much and we never hangout. Also, he treats her like poop. He breaks up with her every week, and I’m seriously not exaggerating! But, when I told her, she denied it and claimed she still hangs out with her other friends. She got very distant and I really felt like our friendship was done… She clearly had chosen him over me…. It hurt.. one time she was supposed to sleep over at my house (first time in 3 months), and later that night she said she “felt sick” and her “mom” was on her way to get her.. ha. So when she told me her “mom” was here, I told her I would walk her to the door, and she started freaking out saying it’s okay and I could just go back to sleep… But I insisted on it. And what do you know, her bf is her new mom! I got so pissed and whats even more sad is that I was expecting that to happen.. Because by that time she had already lost all of my trust. Well, anyways, she then told me that he was only gonna take her home but shes really at home now. The only reason I was talking to her was b/c her bf wanted a “break” because he “doesn’t want her loosing her friends because of him”, and I wasn’t gonna let her drown.. It just really pisses me off how he can try to turn things so he looks like the innocent one.. Anyways, ten minutes later, I get a text from her bf’s sister asking why my best friend was over there… I exploded and things got really ugly from there on.. I am never going to trust her again. So now I can’t tell her what I feel, because she can’t handle the truth. I can’t trust her, because she lies too much. And I can never hangout with her because her boyfriend is her first priority.. She will only try to hang with me when her bf can’t. Which is usually after she gets off work at 11:00 PM. So, its not like she doesn’t try, I know she still cares about me and doesn’t wanna loose our friendship. But her bf is just completely changing her. She use to say “I’m independent, I don’t need a guy. And girls that think they do are pathetic. I only need me, and that’s enough”. but now, she’s not my best friend, shes a stranger… And her whole family hates her boyfriend. He yells at her parents for God sake! And her parents, and sister have both tried telling her of how mean he is to her and how they don’t like it, but she just doesn’t wanna hear it.. I really don’t know what to do.. I feel like I should do something, but if I do, I’m gonna lose my best friend. Honestly, I’m scared to make a move at all… What should I do?
