My gay friends- I love them but I need some advice! Please

OK here it goes. I have 2 guy friends that were in a relationship. One is my best friend and I care about him very much, and the other, because he and my best friend were in a relationship, I have come to know and love as well. Recently they broke up and my best friend has been seeing other people. He says it is serious, although its only been a short period of time, but I know he still cares about my other friend. I really want to see them together, but I also do not want to get too involved as I care about both and do not want either of them hurt on my account. Is it wrong for me to try and get them back together if my best friend is in a “relationship”? I don’t know why I am so bothered by this whole thing, I just really loved them “together”! Any Advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated, thanks :slight_smile:

If they get together, it should be of there own doing. (Unless they ask for your assistance)

Don’t think that this situation is any different than any other because they are gay. (I’m not saying you are…I’m just saying. :slight_smile: )

It’s nice that you want to see them back together, but you have to really ask yourself, do they at this time?

My advice? Don’t meddle. It only leads to hurt feelings and strained friendships.

Oh, and what Kwyjibo said. It’s not different at all due to their gayness. I’m just saying.

:slight_smile:

While it might be ok for you to express the way you feel to either friend, it’s not a good idea to try and change the way they feel or how they act. IMHO.

Best advice? Put yourself in their shoes.

I didn’t mean any offense by bringing up the fact that they were gay, I just mentioned it, I hope that no one thinks that makes a diffrence to me because it most certainly does not. I have many gay, straight, bi friends and I love them all just the same, and their sexual preferences is the last thing that I think about when we are together. I just thought I would add that :):):slight_smile:

Leave them alone and let them work things out for themselves. They know better than you whether they should be together and seeing as how they broke up they would seem to believe they don’t.

It’s funny, my best friend and former roommate started dating the most fantastic guy about 9 months ago. I came to know and love his boyfriend almost as much as I adore him. Well, they’ve been fighting off and on lately, and I swear, I’m like a kid fearing that their parents are going to get divorced:). Every time my best friend calls upset over a fight, the first thing he says to me is “We are NOT breaking up, don’t worry.”.

It’s hard to watch people you care about argue and have problems between them, but when all is said and done, they have to work it out on their own. You’ve got to let them deal with it together.
