They broke up and now I’m driving 2 hours tonight to go be with her
So my bestie just told me her bf has basically been emotionally abusing her for the past year out of their nearly 2 year relationship and i’m pissed. When he gets mad at her for saying she doesn’t feel loved he’ll stop talking for to her for days+

let her talk it out and give her lots of hugs if she likes them. movie is a great idea, but try to keep her grounded. for me, movies were a huge give or take. if i zoned out, i thought about him. if it was about love, i thought about him. let her cry it out for sure. but yeah just being there is the best thing

My advice is the best thing to do is let her know you’re happy to do anything that would make her feel better. I’d directly ask her what she needs, since it can vary throughout the recovery process. Ask her if she needs to talk and process it or if she’d rather talk about anything else than him. And ask if she wants to just have a quiet day in or go out and do something. (This might be stating the obvious but it’s something I’ve only recently learned to do)

Cooking for her or bringing her favorite food can also be a great way of showing her love. Since it can be hard to take care of yourself when going through this
