During the whole cheating business, she even stated, without shame, that even if he were to cheat on her she would not lose him. She thinks she loves him too much to leave him, even if he does not reciprocate the commitment she has given to him. Your friend s behavior is very common among women who don t value themselves. Her self-worth is completely tied to being in a relationship, regardless of how abusive it is. All she knows is that someone is paying attention to her.
People only change when they can t stand anymore what is happening in their lives.
Through mentoring, your friend will get a positive female role model that could influence and change her behavior. There s not much more you can do but continue to love her and be in her life, no matter how hard she tries to push you away. You really are a great friend, even if she can t see it right now. I made the first move by calling the guy I like to tell him I like him. Let him do all the calling.
