Tips for Dealing With A Relationship: Friendship is a type of relationship which has trust, understanding, and is based on the truth. It becomes worse especially for your friend’s life when he falls in love with the wrong partner and so also his mental and emotional well-being. In such cases, your best friend’s situation can change if you help him get onto the right path.
Think Before Making Any Decisions:
Do not make rash decisions in these kinds of circumstances. Understand first whether his relationship is indeed wrong or if it is just a matter of having different opinions. Some indicators that could demonstrate that his love partner is not suitable are -
His confidence has gone down.
He appears to be constantly tense/sad.
His love partner is isolating him from other people.
He seems to be always worrying about the relationship.
If these signs become visible, then for your friend these may not be the best relations to have.
Communicate, not confront
Instead of blaming someone or using aggressive verbal exchanges, it is much more optimal to have a conversation that addresses a certain problem head on. Let them know whether their partner's actions are causing them distress and if that isn't the case, then be certain to show them that you only want the best for them. An instance can be saying, "I'm curious to know if you are happy in this relationship because I can't help but notice that you have been far more stressed than usual."
Use the evidence approach to make him see the point
If you think, based on suspicions, that his partner might be cheating or abusing him, you should probably provide him with social media posts, friends’ opinions, or even past instances that give him a fair idea of reality.
Give him self-respect and independence
Assure your friend that he is not alone and that instead, he is empowered by his abilities far more than the relationship that keeps him trapped in a bad one. He will thank you more, in the long run, because these sorts of relationships are blight on one's self-esteem. As I’m sure you know, most people don’t leave negative relationships because they feel isolated or that they have no other alternative.
Be patient and support
Showing compassion in the difficult stages to your friend when they are breaking up is not what they expect the most and that is perfectly fine. Since this is somewhat of a sensitive topic, make sure that you are non-judging so that they come before you without hesitation to discuss their problems.
