I want to be a good friend, how should I deal with this situation?
My best friend was going out with a guy for a long time and they were starting to have problems, but she said she still loved him. She also had feelings for another guy and he told her he liked her too. Then the next day her boyfriend broke up with her because she went over to the other guy's house and had sex with him!! She didn't seem like that kind of person and she said she hadn't meant to it had "just happened". I want to be a good friend but how do I deal with this!? I can't relate to her feelings on this at all!
She wouldn't hurt me, she's just easily manipulated and she has a really low self-esteem. She's completely crushed to not have a boyfriend.

don't judge. it's not your business. probably has lost the boyfriend, and new bf and doesn't need to lose a friend too.
yeah, she did something really stupid. hopefully she'll learn from it; even better if others around her learn from her mistakes too. she probably feels miserable after being stupid and used by mr. one-night-stand. lend her a shoulder to cry on...could be you next time.
(however, you don't have to listen to all the whining! let her cry on your shoulder, not WHINE and cry on your shoulder...don't be afraid to make the shoulder rules)

I know how you are feeling because I had a friend who did this, also. I was very angry with her and it ended up costing us our friendship. I would advise you to be open when listening to her. She may be upset and want to talk about her feelings. Try very hard to listen non-judgementally, even though you do not agree with or understand what she did. Let her know that you are there for her. Remember that this will pass and your friendship will remain long after this incident is forgotten.

well...ive never been in that position before but if it was my friend i would have talked to her about it and see if shes just trying to get a higher self esteem. she may need you to tell her something that will cheer her up if u havent already. by the way, thnx for putting me on your watch list =)

I've been in a similar situation. There's not a lot you can do about the situation. She's gonna do what she's gonna do- you can't stop her from things that "just happen".

she was unfaithful, and if she really did love her ex, she would not have had sex with her other guy. people are not always what they "seem to be", and the intercourse did not " just happen." she had to have thought about it first. you just say to her that she was unfaithful, and for that she paid the price of being dumped.
