DD1 returning to uni next week after breaking up with her bf over the summer. They weren't going out long, make 6 months but DD is still really upset. They fell out as he cancelled her visiting at 11.30 pm the night before she was due to visit after taking a job and DD1 getting upset. DD admits she shouldn't have got so upset but was disappointed and has been upset herself with his actions following their arguments (he ignored her for three weeks before finally breaking up with her) yet reasons this as bf suffers from mental health problems.
The issue is, they are within the same friendship group at uni. DD has only told some (ie. her closet 4/5 friends in the group) what happened and is really upset about how next tern is going to play out. She's so worried about upsetting him further, she's talking about keeping her distance from friends and not joining them on nights out etc. She really wants a conversation with him, just the two of them before they see each other in a group social situation again, but I think she is unlikely to get it. I've told her to keep her distance but she just wants to explain to him what happened (it's been a rough summer for her outside of this and it all crumbled when he cancelled) and to apologise again.
Right now, to her she feels like she will be alone forever, so I thought I'd consult you all for any advice/first heartbreaks to show her that it's normal and to ease the nerves for going back and seeing him!
