“Girl,Why??” Moments We Have When You’re Friend Starts Dating a Lame

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hawaii chapter.

Are you tired of being the friend that has to listen to your girl cry about a loser- just so she can get back with him tomorrow? You’re not alone! Here are some thoughts that run through our heads while we’re being the shoulder to lean on.

When she’s first falling for the f***boy and is buying all his B.S.

Only every love song, movie, TV show, novel and Snapple cap before has told you this story, but go ahead and see where it takes you.

When she all of a sudden forgets that you exist.

Remeber the good ‘ole days when it was ovaries before brovaries? Yeah, me too. 

When he tells her what to do and she obeys. 

 

 Did all those empowering Her Campus articles mean nothing to you? 

When she complains about how he isn’t treating her right

You’re on your own.

When she asks you if you think they should break up, and why.

Why are you with him now?

 When she asks you why you don’t support their relationship.  

From what I’ve heard, he’s never done anything right.

When she decides to give him a second chance. 

For someone so smart, you are really being dumb. 

When she tells you they’re doing better but the other best friend told you the truth. 

Sounds like you know what I would have said.

When he breaks up with her and she still won’t cut him out of her life. 

Denial isn’t just a river in Africa. 

When she takes to social media to talk about it. 

 
Stop sub-tweeting him. I thought we left sub-posts in 2007.

When she said she was going to dump him over the weekend, then tells you why she couldn’t do it when you see her Monday. 

It looks like you’ve learned his ways of false promises.

When she’s finally over it and everything is back to being okay. 
Because we’re best friends and I’ll be there for you no matter what.
