Coping Up with A Bad Breakup

Tweet

My friend has just ended a five year relationship. They have gone through a lot of trials together, however, the last one hit them rock bottom. She has caught her boyfriend cheating on her several times in the past, but because she loves him so much, she has forgiven him, time and time again. However, what made her decide to finally break up with him, was when she saw him with one of our closest friends. She just couldn't accept how our friend could betray her and why his boyfriend couldn't fulfill his promise to be loyal to her...and cheat on her again, and this time with one of her closest friends! She has changed her number and refrained from speaking to her ex and our friend. However, she is having a hard time coping up with the breakup. Undeniably, inspite of what happened, she still loves the guy so much and she still longs for him too. She hasn't come out of her room for a week now and doesn't eat much. How can I help her deal with it? How can you help a friend cope up and realize that there is more to life than being with that guy? As for our friend, do I have to confront her or talk to her about her actions? Or not speak to her at all?
