Friend in Denial..., And it's bugging the crud outta me... Options

[HeroesAndVillian...]

Ok, A friend of mine was with her boyfriend for about a year then broke it off (on V-Day) and then got back together with him after a few months of begging him to take her back. A few weeks ago, she gave him a handjob and somehow got the idea that just because her period didn't come on the exact day she'd marked on her calendar that she'd gotten pregnant and told her mom. ((She's 16 and he's 18)) So her mom flipped out and everything but he didn't go to jail or anything. He freaked and broke up with her because he doesn't want to go to jail and wants to do more but with her anything they'd do would get him sent to jail. He's a nice guy, he's one of my friends so I was a little bit of an emotional crutch for him the first time they seperated. Anyways, my friend still denies the fact that he's not going to take her back and keeps calling him and going to his house to try and get him back and I've told her to move on, (like she has many times when I'd get depressed over a breakup) and she tells me to take it back and that she know's he'll take her back. I don't know what to do anymore cause she's one of my best friends and I'm just fed up with her complaining about it.

Wow.

First of all, does her mom know that they never really had sex?
And second, does her boyfriend know why she freaked out so much?

Honestly, you're just a friend. I wouldn't try to get into this, considering it is already over between the two (as you say). Just be a supportive friend (as in spend time with her and try to distract her... not support her in trying to win back her ex).

so you're best friends with BOTH of them? that makes things really awkward and sticky...I don't think you should take either side if both friendships matter to you. You probably just want to, as Michelle stated, support each friend and step away from the crash. It would be best if you helped both of them get over each other..good luck!

omg! my friend's man got arrested for just dating her! She was like 16 and he was like in his 30's! now they're married with 2 kids, which is cool.

ANYWAY! There's so much you can say about it and sometimes it's not enough. I mean it's good that you're being supportive. It sounds like you said all that you could but nothing seems to help her. So just be there for her...and if she asks the same thing over and over, just say, " you already know what I'm gonna say...If you really think that getting him back is worth it, and it makes you happy, then I'm here for you."

I'm sure she'll calm down about the subject.

you're sick of it. tell her straight up.
it's not like you can do anything for her; it's her own brain. just don't encourage her or give any hint of anything ever possibly going back to "normal."

If she wants him back permanently, she should get preggo and tell him it's his. Only way.
