So I have a very good friend going through a horrible break up right now. She's heartbroken and her ex is a real POS. Her situation has been going on for a couple months now and I'm there to help her talk through things whenever she needs it, but I'm wondering is there anything else I can do to help her through this. I try to listen, talk things out with her, and get her out some to have a little fun. I know libras need to keep things balanced, and that concept is kinda foreign to me. Any advice from Libras on this?
Libras.....HELP!!!!!
Posted by utopianSo nothing? Ok. People come around asking dumber shit than this, and *I* get criticized? *sigh* fine. I'll take my questions elsewhere.
Tell her 'there there'..
How generalized can this thread be..
Posted by SugarfootThank you for saying this because I've been doing this all wrong according to what you wrote. She made the remark earlier that she wishes she could just go somewhere and die and I just did not know how to respond. I'm so used to keeping feelings inside and dealing with them solo, that it's difficult to know what to say/do when I'm confronted with the exact opposite.
Just be her shoulder to cry on. Commiserate but don't let her continue to throw an all out pity party. Don't let her get to the point where she feels all hopeless and desperate. Remind her that there is a silver lining to every cloud. Ask her what did she learn. Ask her what she can do differently in the future to counteract what happened this time around. When I have some sense of control, it makes me feel better. Distract her by going out and trying new things together.
Posted by utopianOk. Thanks!
Shes a Libra?
Like i said in the other thread, and its typical of Libra, we all have that one trainwreck relationship to grow from.
Time will heal her wounds. Just look out for her and help her move forward. Don't try to be her GA
Posted by SugarfootThanks! Yeah, she has a Scorpio moon. I'm guessing that makes a difference somewhere in there too.Posted by thisismylife2015Oh I doubt you could be doing it wrong. You're a good friend for listening to her for two months about this. Just keep being the friend that you are. I agree with topes too. Time heals all wounds. If nothing else, just wait it out. Does she have a water moon?Posted by SugarfootThank you for saying this because I've been doing this all wrong according to what you wrote.
