I once had a boyfriend that I discussed my disgust of my best friend’s boyfriend with. He gave me some of the best advice I’ve ever received- “let it run its course”.
Since my best friend and her boyfriend were both young at the time (we were all in high school), the chances of them getting together in the long run were slim. So, because of this advice, I stuck it out. What do you know? As soon as the two of them went off to college in different states it was almost immediately “splitsville”. I believe that his receipt for buying another girl flowers was accidentally sent to my friend’s email and that is what ended it.
As the years have gone by, I have seen my best friend go through many loser boyfriends. Hell, she has one now! The entire time I can hear my own ex-boyfriend in the back of my mind- “let it run its course”.
Do you really want to be the bitchy best friend and miserable the entire time that they date? I don’t think so! Save everyone a lot of grief, you and your friend mainly, and just chill. In fact, when you see him, put a big ol’ smile on your face!
