When do you give up, if the person continuously seeking your advice never heeds it??

OMG i know this situation. after repeatedly comforting a girl (woman - she’s even older than i) after every heartbreaking breakup with her bf, and every time she would say “This is the Last straw!” she would ALWAYS take him back. ALWAYs. so i would feel like a loser for comforting her for hours, offering a place to say, telling her she’s better without him....i mean he did some really stupid things.

Well i told her i no longer wanted to hear her problems with the bf because she’s basically signing up for them and i can’t be bothered to waste my time and energy anymore. She stopped. And a few years (yes years) she finally did away with him for good. ... at least i hope - it’s only been a few months.

@NiftyWhite Yeah, At some point you just have to walk away.

Quickly as I need to take care of myself and not allow others to leech off of me. If they are not going to heed the advice they don't want it they just want to suck the life out of me.

@skmokisses if they aren’t listening by then, then they’re just gonna have to have life experiences and school of hard knocks

I think once or twice is plenty if we are talking about an adult.

@skmokisses oh okay so someone asks your advice, then doesn’t heed what you tell them and ignores it? Yeah that can get tiresome really fast.
skmokisses · 46-50, F
@JavaJoe Incredibly. Especially if it means you have to watch them get hurt again and again.
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@skmokisses ahhh I see! I’m sure.

Its frustrating to watch someone continously fall on their face, but at some point...and age, not sure they will ever "get it"
