A Lost Love

I have a friend named XX. She was being courted way back in High school by a guy named ****. She rejected him because her grandparents don't want her to get in a relationship and although she loves the guy she dumped him three times thru out the four years in High shool. Now the guy has a girlfriend and last week XX heard it from a friend. She cried over him and regretted her decision in dumping him. Now the question is: Who is at fault? Was XX wrong from dumping **** over her grandparents? What should she do? What should I do as a friend? I'm looking forward to your commetns and suggestions

XX is probably the one at fault for letting the guy go. if she really loves that guy, the she shouldn't have dumped the guy over her grandparents. and if the guy really loves XX, he would understand. But if XX keeps dumping him, the guy would want to move on and he has moved on now as you mentioned that he now has a girlfriend. XX should move on too..if they're meant to be, then they'll end up together one day. As a friend, you could help by cheering XX up and always be there for her whenever she needs a shoulder to cry on.

The guy didn't know of XX's condition. Thanks for responding I do hope that she will be able to move on. I will try to cheer her up too. Thanks for the advice and comment. :)

Good for the guy. Maybe now he's found someone who isn't so fickle with love.

Thanks for your response but I do hope both of them will be able to move on without each other.

Your case is a usual happening of the nature's preplanned event. xx rejected because at that time she was bound to do that and she could not realise that u can be far from her. she did that because she felt you near to her. But now when you are with another one she could not bear the gap and she boasted out. The important matter about your further action is to be thought by you now and if i were in your place then i would had tried to do something by which the present girlfriend would leave me and get the girl who i was in love with.

Who's at fault? Of course it's XX's fault. She dumped him three times despite loving him! She put her self in a position to regret. When you love someone, you tell him, even if your present circumstances do not allow you to have a relationship. At least you can talk about it, work something out. But you don't dump a guy three times if you love him! For now she should move on. Some day if both of them are available, then she has a lot of making up to do. She should grab that opportunity to let the guy know how she feels.

I think this relationship could have had a better ending with the right communication. Since your friend wanted to go along with the sound advice from her grandparents, she could have told her bf that she was interested to have a longer term relationship with him, and if he was really interested in her, to wait for her until she finished school, then they could develop something more serious. Maybe this wasn't done (I just presume so, since you said she "dumped him"). If a girl dumps a guy too many times and no good reason is given to keep a relationship going at an even keel until the right time to grow it deeper, you can't blame the guy for losing interest and finding someone else who will commit to a relationship. But if she had given him the true reason for holding out, and he decided he didn't want to wait, then he's not the one for her. There's no point for her to cry over spilt milk. She should move on and look for someone else who will love and cherish her, and desire a lifelong relationship with her. She's probably still very young, and there should be time for her to know more people and find someone suitable.

You cannot blame anybody. XX's grandparents did that for XX's good , perhaps they are afraid XX will be cheated of her feelings or even her money. And XX was not wrong , at least she did not make her grandparents worry over her. She should continue living a normal life and I believe she can definitely find someone better than that guy. You must never never mention anything about **** and ****'s gf. You should maybe treat XX to some ice creams and sweet things and many people say sweet things can cheer people up , and maybe also bring her to watch a comedy show in the cinema , but try to understand the show better by reading reviews and stuffs to check if there is any love scenes or anything in the show .
