More comfortable talking to me? She has a bf and stuff and I’m not one to get in between that and stuff idk if this is a bad thing or not though at least I’m not thinking of it that way

I had a similar experience where my friend was scared to tell her partner she was struggling out of fear that he would see her differently. I had to reassure her constantly that he wouldn’t. If you feel like it is something he needs to know, tell her that. If you need a break because everything is too much, tell her

Are you worried because you’re a guy? And you feel like it’s a bad look she would feel more comfortable talking to “some other guy” over her boyfriend? That’s the vibe I’m getting here because I feel like women don’t usually feel this and understand when women don’t want to tell their partners about something.

Just tryna be a good friend and I do say to open up to other people, etc. I don’t feel forced to talk either. It doesn’t seem like anything yk but I just wanted to know anyone’s thoughts from an outside perspective since she’s been talking to me a lot more and stuff

That’s def what I was thinking just wanted to hear another perspective and stuff. It’s not up to me to decide who she tells and stuff yk but part of me kind of feels for the guy too yk wanting to be there for your gf during tough times but idk I guess that’s up to her

I think it’s the bf aspect that maybe I’m looking too deep into. I don’t have bad intent just wanted to know if it was bad her only coming to me and stuff ykwim idk. She said she was more comfortable but she was hesitant in her wording about it

I get it. It’s hard. But good for you for trying to help. Unfortunately, if she doesn’t want to tell him that’s just how it is going to be and she can deal with things if anything happens because of it. My friend’s boyfriend felt guilty that she didn’t feel confident enough in their relationship to tell him so hopefully that doesn’t happen to you

I mean yeah women don’t feel it but that’s kind of what it is. I feel like women don’t get the principle behind the kind of things. It’s no ill intent on my end just being a good friend ofc but to women don’t usually feel this dismisses the guy pov when they’re indirectly the part of concern idk if it was the other way around I would feel some way about it yk so I’m hoping she talks to him or something ofc but obviously it’s not that simple. But I hear your point. Not feeling something doesn’t

Doesn’t - mean it’s not there (not feelings but the context of talking or something)

Ofc and I do but I feel like at the end of the day it’s up to them to figure out where their choices are. I wouldn’t do anything or think for anything more than what it is but I’m a guys guy yk gotta consider other parties but obv she’s going through it so I’m just being a good friend whilst having concerns that are probably not mine to worry about I guess
