I'm not sure how to really go about this. I'm just starting off on a great relationship but 3 of my close friends have all just ended theirs 2 are pretty ok but one I don't think is. I'm very caring but I don't quite know how to go about putting my happiness on the side to do the comforting without being or feeling awkward. I want to be there for them as much as I can but I don't want them feeling like they are raining on my parade either. Any ideas how I can handle this as best I can

[anneasquith]

yes, they are your friends and wont begrudge you happiness, if they want to talk/moan be there, but im sure they wont expect you to be miserable on their behalf.

^wow...

Out of order happyone - if you have followed QoM threads on here you will know how caring she is.

Talking to myself now! :-))

I just reported happyone2's rant...neither justified nor kind.

[kvalidir]

It was certainly a bit harsh but why has it been removed?

[woofgang]

I guess a mod agreed with me? I went and had a look at happyone's other questions. She's certainly not a happy one which might explain what she said....

I just read the happyone2's post and a mini rant is a good description.

the post was not justified, kind or helpful - it was just mean and bitchy.

OK, now my "wow" looks like I'm being nasty to QoM!

I wasn't!

QoM, you are a very caring person, I'm sure you will find a way to be there for your friends going through their breakups and still have time for your own happiness.

The fact that you are even asking how to handle it shows that you are aware that they are going through a tough time and will be very aware of not being too happy at the moment!

Just make sure you still make time for them, I'm sure you will be grand.
