I Helping A Friend In Need
Need opinions on my friend's situation.
She talked to an online person, fell in love and entered a long distance relationship with him. In the 2 months span that she "dated" him, she told me that he would be upset at her if she didn't respond to him quick enough, even if she was busy with school or something. But when he doesn't respond to her msgs quick enough, she complains and he said he would make it up to her, but doesn't always, because he has a busy life too.
After I asked her to break up with him, since he was manipulating her, she decided to listen to my advice. As soon as she broke up with him, he started hurting himself and attempted suicide many times. She says she still talks to him, because he claims he needs her, but I'm telling her that he is mentally unstable n needs to seek help elsewhere and he is making her feel guilty. She says she is guilty, thinking that breaking up with him caused him to be like this, but I told her that its a cry for help and he wouldn't make a good match for her if he was this weak, mentally.
What do you think she should do? She doesn't believe me that he needs other people to help him and not just her. She says he only trusts her and that she understands. I'm annoyed to see her feel forced to stick by him constantly. She is a close friend, but is really sad by all this.
