Some people need to learn things the hard way. Maybe the ex learned that he was an idiot. Who knows?
My friend did show me his apology. It did make my skin crawl because it seems like he's used it as an excuse to tell her he still "loves" her, but I don't know.
If you had the power what would you like to be able to do for your friend?
Make your friend "see the light"? Make Friend reject all attempted contact from Ex?
If so, what would be your goal? To save Friend from more heartache caused by this character?
Yes, probably. But the cold reality is, lots of our friends make very poor choices in partners/mates.
Emotions and physical attraction rule the heart instead of reason and rationality. Sense and Sensibility.
Have fun with your friend, that's what friends are for. Try to be upbeat, do fun things, paint each other's nails, make brownies, stay up late watching old movies.
Enjoy each other's company with the strength of knowing each of you is sturdy enough to weather the storms of an interesting life.

Cheers dear. Good luck to both of you.
I agree with this. I'm sure it's frustrating and you're worried for her, but she's going to do what she's going to do. If she asks you go ahead and be honest and let her know you think it's a mistake. But if she doesn't ask I wouldn't say anything. She'll have to live and learn on her own.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply.
So you guys both think that I might be right in saying that she still could have feelings for him?
There isn’t much we can do right now because of the lockdown, but I hope soon to see her again.
I know there isn’t much I can do about her decision, if she’s made one. It’s hard to avoid thinking that she might get hurt again by him.
She was ditched by him like an old towel with no explanation whatsoever, and he’s waltzed back into her life saying sorry and telling her he still loves her.
She’s accepted his friend request.
I honestly find it hard to believe she, knowing better than anyone what he's capable of, has done this.
The only reason I can think of is that she still likes him.
What do you think?
If she does, so what? Yes, it's sad your friend might get hurt again, but your post sounds like you think you have a horse in this race. Are you into her?

Sorry if it sounds that way, I was quite worked up when I posted.
No, she's just my best friend that's it. I care so much about her, especially based on everything she's been through these last few years.
Yeah definitely a chance she does. But again, that's something she'll have to figure out on her own.
It's sad, because I actually thought she had moved on. Well, I will be there if she needs me, no matter what she figures out.
