Let your friend know that you're there for them, that you love them unconditionally, and that it's okay to let go and separate yourself from your partner. Listen to them, offer them support and be a sounding board. And most importantly, don't judge them. Let them know that you love and support them, and that they can come to you for anything. Here are just 10 ways to start helping your friend in need.
Be there for your friend and listen to him. Let him speak to you at his own pace. Don't pressure them to tell you the whole story if they're not ready. Being too aggressive to know the “problem” can be uncomfortable for your friend. Instead of criticizing your friend and judging them for always choosing the wrong person, pause and listen to your friend.
