Friend constantly moaning about boyfriend .....

8 replies

My friend has been with her boyfriend for 5 years.
They both have 2 kids each with previous partners and they don't live together.
My friend has said she never wants to live with him.
She moans about him,she doesn't love him,he repulses her,he's boring etc etc
Last week we spent a hour on the phone (as usual ) he asking my advice
Her telling me that she doesn't fancy him,he's selfish ,she never wants to live with him etc etc

Then the day after tagging him in posts on Facebook "let's try here next babe "
Then last night tells me they off to Cornwall on Sunday for a few nights
I thought he repulsed you? And you didn't love him?

I get so fed up of wasting my time when she's never going to dump him
So what's the point in me spending every day listening to you telling me the same things (been going on over 2 years )
Am I being horrible here ?

No one is forcing you to take these calls or meet up with this woman

so don’t

I’d avoid meeting up or taking her calls if she’s just going to moan about him but do nothing about it.

Everytime she goes to moan change the conversation or just laugh and say 'oh you will love him again in an hour'. People like this fuck me off no end.

Can not stand these kind of women.
Know many theough the years.
You just have to go no contact with them, for tour sanity.

I have exactly the same situation with a friend but its being going on nearly 20 years. They've never lived together, have no ties but will not cut the cord but is apparently as miserable as hell.

I absolutely refuse to discuss it with her anymore as she will bang on for hours and we just go round in a loop

Justleaveitblankthen · 03/08/2023 16:31

Why are you friends with her?
She sounds boring as hell.

No don't bother she's just dumping her frustrations onto you and is either treating him like dirt too or it's acting like it's perfectly fine and he's none the wiser.

People like that I always think whether they do the same about you to others in the same way.

Just cut ties you don't need other people's problems weighing you down.

I had sadly to drop a friend who was like this , we would spend hours going round in circles , talking about her boyfriend.
