PLZ HELP ME YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMANS

maria

Okay guys, the time has come for me to ask for some serious help. It may be a bit long so I apologize in advance. If you read it all and do help me, bless your soul.

My best friend jack broke up with his ex girlfriend roughly 16 months ago. Their relationship was VERY toxic in the sense of insanity. She slept with all his best friends to spite him, chased him with a knife, and pushed his car into incoming traffic. He was of course no saint either, and their relationship was overall unhealthy at best. For the past year, she has created fake snapchat accounts to reach out to him for another chance, and each time she has he has instantly deleted it, that is until yesterday. Yesterday, she created the 15TH fake snap account and for some reason he did not delete it and denied this to me.

Long story short, we got into an argument today because he lied to me and replied to her yesterday, resulting in a 3 hour facetime with her. Nate is extremely depressed, has done nothing to heal from the breakup and is very obviously going back to her because of loneliness. When I was honest he retracted back onto me and got upset. I am not one to loose friendships easily, so I tried to work with him. He is going back to her to get answers and see if there is actually anything there. Of course as we ALL know, this wont work and they are toxic. As a best friend what do I do?? I cannot loose him, but also she is controlling to the point where she would force him to stop being my friend, which of course he says will never happen.

Today, I put on my big girl pants and said I cannot support the relationship but will stand by his side regardless because he means so much to me. Is this one of those situations where you cant force them to see the truth and they have to see it on their own?? what would you do? I am so nervous of losing my best friend but alas it is totally out of my control :( also, in addition to thw unhealthiness he forbid me from telling anyone which is why I turn to you beautiful glow community.

Oh the BEST part of the story is I've liked him for 6 months and was going to tell him next week and then this happened hahaha. So I sacrificed my feelings and told him I would be by his side and support him with her. Any tips??? I feel like there isnt much I can do at this point but life gave me a big F U 🙃
