So my friend dated this girl for about 6 months about a year ago. Broke up around 7 months ago. For the past 7 months he hasn’t been able to move on. He keeps talking about how he loves her, how he NEEDS a girlfriend and how sad and pointless everything is (he has so depressive episodes now and again that don’t help). And he doesn’t think he’ll ever love anyone the way he loves her.

He still talks to her but it’s always seemed to be a toxic relationship to me, even now (they agreed to be friends). Every now and then she’ll say something like “My friends don’t want me to talk to you.” Then she’ll text him 3 days later. And he constantly checks up on her cause he is worried.

Anyway I’m going on a tangent. TLDR; Friend can’t get over a break up that happened months ago, continues to stay in contact with said person, keeps saying they NEED a girlfriend, and thinks that he will never love another person because how much he loves her.

Anyone got any advice I can give him? Ways I can help? I feel bad for him, and I’m kinda getting annoyed of him dropping emotions on me.

Context: 18Yr male. Remote area. Lack of transport.
