This is such a tricky topic to navigate, and it's one that resonates with me - I've been in the precise situation you, Ruby, and Jane were in with Susie and her boyfriend (painful!). It's hard to handle, but I do think that ultimately, being politely honest and always explaining that your worry comes from the love you feel for your friend, is all part of being a good friend. Loved reading this piece! π«Άπ»
βBut your best friend will not forget. She will keep tabs. You may have mentally swept under the rug that time you cried to her because he replied bluntly to your good morning text. She will not.β π€£π Bless good friends! Such an insightful young lady. Love it. π«Άπ» I think you did present a nuanced argument too that it is often one sided but friends sometimes do know best. π

Yeah sheβs definitely a good friend! Thank you- tried to balance it out a bit at the end there π
It's a tough call. Many of my married friends don't know that their partners and their relationships make me gag.
If it's a dear friend, hope for a breakup. But like you said, your friends know without you saying anything direct.
