How do you handle a break up where you not only lost your boyfriend but also all your friends in the process because of him?

Answer 1

Many couples split-up for one reason or another, but I seldom hear of ALL friends turning their backs on a friend unless that friend caused the trouble in the relationship. Instead of feeling too badly about it (of course you are going to hurt over this for awhile) take this as a learning board in life and spring into action. It's obvious you didn't make a good choice in him and certainly not in the character of your friends. Good friends remain by your side and if they don't approve of something you are doing then they should be honest and talk openly to you about it. If you made the mistake then learn from it because everyone makes mistakes in their lives, but the only sad thing about it is when we don't learn from those mistakes. Dust yourself off and get out there and socialize. You can make new friends from school (if you are in school) or at the workplace and start from there. Perhaps pick up on old friendships you've had in the past. Sounds like most of the friends you have recently had were his friends. I am not accusing you of causing the break-up (you left little information) and with friends like you had who needs enemies. Sounds like they were all his friends anyway. Be more independent and NEVER rely on anyone but yourself and a good faith of your choice. It keeps you strong, puts you on the right path and gives you freedom from relying on one person constantly. We all need family, mates and friends, but we should always count on ourselves and know right from wrong.
