I tried, at first, to sugarcoat it. I'm not good at sugarcoating anything, because tact isn't my strong point. I told him it would take time, but eventually he'd be okay.
He replied, "I'm sick of everyone telling me it takes time! You've had time, you're not okay!"
I thought I was hiding the not fully better thing pretty well, but apparently not. Not my point.
I decided to do what I do best. Be the blunt fucker that I am. So I told him exactly how much he's not gonna be okay, and all the little fucked up stages he's gonna go through and exactly what he should and should not do (Like not talking to her for a while- something he's totally not going to listen to me on).
He thanked me for my honesty. He said it was good to hear.
So here's my question; when it comes to situations like this, should we brush it off optimistically or realistically?
Over and out,

Why can't you do both?
ReplyDeleteWhen I split up with my exes, the worst thing I could have done is try and talk to them, at least in the following six months.
Though you should tell your friend he is actually going to be ok and the best way to get over it is to do other stuff, just don't lie in bed, spend excess time in the bathroom or look out the window or anything like that.
