Thanks girls. You are right Mandy. Much better now that later. I have unfortunately seen bad marriages in the past and how horrible it would be to have to constantly fight and bicker. I'm glad she doesn't have to go through that, but I wish she didn't have to be in so much pain right now. She is 22 years old and is afraid she'll never get married. She is a beautiful, talented girl with such a sweet personality and I know the right guy is out there for her. Until she finds him, I hope that my hubby and I are able to encourage her and just be there for her when she needs a friend...

I agree that she did the right thing. It sounds a situation that she needed out of and as Mandy said, "its better to happen now, then after they married with kids." As with all breakups it's going to take a while to get over it. Tell her not to rush into another relationship but to take her time and find "just the right guy". She needs to get her self-esteem back and feel good about herself.

wow...sounds like a tough draw. well, it is good that she was able to call it off now. cuz once you are married, "calling it off" is a LOT harder to do....
Just keep being her friend. sounds like that is what she really needs. I hope all works out for her.

Sounds like she needed to do this. All we can do is be supportive I think. Only the couple knows how the relationship really is and then if you listen to only one side, it's not a complete truth. She will heal, but it takes time. Thank goodness she listened to her heart and made the break now. Too many people take the attitude with marriage is that we'll see how it goes. I'm glad she didn't do that.

Gosh, I feel so sorry for her. She is at work right now photoshoping three sets of wedding pictures and it's making her really sad because she thought she'd be getting married within the year. My hubby and I are driving out there in a few minutes (it's about 20-30 minutes away) to try to give her some company and I'm going to help photoshop so she isn't quite as swamped. I hope it helps to have friends there and not be so focused on weddings.

Poor thing, but I agree with everyone else. She's better off and will be much happier later on. You and your husband are wonderful friends to care for her now. If I feel down, know I now where to come.
