...and I don't appreciate it. She's in a terrible relationship with a guy who treats her poorly, yet she remains devoted to him. She is constantly complaining about this guy to me, he never goes out with her, and he pays little attention to her. Last weekend, during Halloween, this woman was hanging out with me; not her BF. Now she's wanting me to go to concerts to see her favorite band.
I wouldn't be opposed to having a relationship with this woman, but as it stands now, there is no chance of it while she remains blindly devoted to the current BF.
I don't appreciate this situation, because I feel like she's getting the emotional/intimate attention she needs from me, which is lacking from her romantic relationship, while the BF is still getting the "benefit" of being in the relationship. I really don't think that's fair.
I hate to throw away a good friendship, but this is one of those situations where timing is bad and the "stars are not aligned". Have you been in this situation before? Did you walk away, or did you stick it out? What was the end result?
I think this as well. But she doesn't have the proverbial "balls" to step up to the plate and call it off with her crappy BF. So I'm just left hanging.

If you were truly her friend, you'd be happy to give her emotional support. Isn't that what friends do?

I think she is waiting till you tell her " hey gal dump that puppet I am there for ya"

At this point, I'm not looking for new "girl" friends. It's not my job to play the emotional role that her BF should play. I should not be the one hanging out any time she goes out, while that dude just sleeps with her.

I've had this situation in the past. I've just faded away. I refuse to be someone's emotional toilet paper just so the woman can go back to the BF.
Why can't she go to concerts to see her favorite band by herself? Or with a girlfriend? Maybe she's more into you than you think, but needs time to finally pull the plug on the slug she's with.
