Thread: Relationships may look good to the outside world. But, only the people involved know the real story.
They may be toxic to each other or one may be abused or one might even feel trapped.
Not everyone gets butterflies.
So, when you hear your friend broke up-

Can we please stop asking questions like, "but you guys looked so good together " " but you seemed so happy".
Insta or fb is not a real world my dear, we fabricate it the way we want to be seen.
.
Can we please think for a while before speaking please?

I know, with close friendships comes unsolicited filters. However, if you really do care for your friend, can the questions start with & #39;How do you feel right now& #39;, "If you feel sad, let me help you", "Share when you want to, this is a safe space" or anything comforting.

One of the most hurtful things you can say to someone who just came out of an abusive relationship would be telling them to go back to their partner. Why& #39;d you say that? They may have just started to see the abusive pattern and they maybe very vulnerable.
Please read the room.
