My friend discovered her boyfriend of a year was cheating in December. He's an arsehole and she's well shot of him. Understandably, she's still upset and in shock, and I'm trying to be there for her, but it's so frustrating. He's moved out & I've suggested she blocks his number & his social media accounts. She couldn't because she had to speak to him about getting his things back to him from her house. That took a few weeks to do.
She said they had decided to stay friends initially, but was finding it too hard. I advised blocking again. This time she couldn't because he'd asked for a game he'd left at her mother's house back. I told her to just bin it tell him he had to sort that out with her mum directly, but she wouldn't. Then they couldn't break contact because they remembered she owed him some money. And on and on.
Then it came out he'd cheated on her multiple times. This time she did delete his contact details. But he rang her yesterday to ask for the Netflix password, so they're back in contact. I suggested separating all of that sort of stuff, but apparently it's easier this way.
It's up to her, obviously, but I've spent the last two months listening to her being really upset several times a week, and she won't make any changes to get him out of her life. AIBU to be really frustrated and think she won't move on while she keeps allowing him contact?
