Jennifer,

I post it here just to show you how VALUABLE you all are, and how understanding.


This is the place to find people who understand (or at least work to understand) Rs and their difficulties.

Does your friend really want to keep the friendship with him/her (the troubled R person)? It sounds like they are venting their frustration over someone not following their advice.

To Jennifer's email friend:

I have this friend who is constantly having the same problem with
his/her partner over and over again. It's been going on for _years_ and I'm not sure I can take it anymore, you know? I mean, it's not my place to interfere or tell him/her my opinion



You're right. It's not your place. You can offer support. You can tell your friend how you see things. But if your friend has other priorities for the R, why should you want to change them? It's not your R, and it shouldn't be the basis for your own friendship with him/her.

Any advice would be helpful.


I hope it was.

Thanks,
