In a relationship, one of the hardest things to do is saying goodbye and letting go. My friend is feeling so low she just broke up with her boyfriend for 7 years. She still loves him but her bf said, he doesn't feel the same thing anymore. He wants to end their relationship and he wants to be alone. There is no third party involved. Any comforting words for my friend?

There is a saying that goes, "IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING SET IT FREE, AND IF IT COMES BACK IT'S YOURS, IF IT DOESN'T IT NEVER WAS." I believe that her man left her to figure things out, and if and when he does he will either come back or stay away. What I am trying to say, obivioulsy it is going to be his loss in the long run, and she should take advantage of her new found freedom.

It's so hard to give an advice to your friend coz no matter what advice you will give, it will never ease the pain for now coz 7yrs is still 7yrs. The emotional investment and the attachment is there and it's so big. All I can say to your friend is let her feel the pain first coz the heart knows when it's enough already. The right time will just come when there are no more tears to cry, and that's the time she can move on. The pain can make her stronger and be a better person. Just be with your friend always, comfort her and let her feel that everything is okay. Good luck!! :)

I have no words of comfort, but I do know that breaking up is one of the hardest things in the world. Seven years is a very long time to put into a relationship and it will take time to get over it. It would seem that it might be a little easier that there is no one else involved. I hope your friend is able to move on and feel better !

Let him go. 7 years is a long to walk away with out hurt. Just think of this when you feel down. Good thing you didn't get married and you saved a lot of money and headache because of that. Money isn't everything until you have to spend a lot on some thing that you don't want like a divorce. Hang in there and you will find some one that will make you feel like you are on cloud nine in no time.
