Dear Boo

🙄Trouble In Paradise🙄

Dear Boo,

Hi, it's Oreo*, again. Sorry if I'm bothering you, I would really hate to be a burden. The thing is, I'm having trouble with some things.

Firstly, it's my boyfriend, Markus*. You see, he's a senior and two years older than I am. A part of me wishes he was the perfect guy. Honestly, he normally is, but lately, he doesn't act like it! I will text him, good morning and it's 3-4 hours before he texts me back with hey or sup. Markus* tells his friends everything that happens between us, especially when he doesn't get his way. The less we talk, the more I lose interest in him. It makes me consider if we should break up.

Secondly, I'm afraid to break up with him. Because, as you know, I have really bad depression – and so does he! I'm afraid if I do it he will want to kill himself, saying he's not worth it and nobody cares about him. It really makes me sad because I want to know if he's still happy in our relationship, even if I'm not happy. What if I break his heart by doing this? What do I even say in a break-up?

Lastly, how do I tell a friend that their girlfriend isn't right for them? I have a guy friend, Trey*, who's also my FL, he gives me advice and vice versa. I've seen things on other people's phone of what his girlfriend, Shayla*, does. There are pics and videos which are really vile, disturbing and disgusting. What if Trey* chooses Shayla's word over mine?

I have so many issues at one time and can't deal. Please help, if possible.

Love,

Oreo*

Dear Oreo*,

Hello sweetheart, thanks for writing to me. I hope you're coping with your depression better than you were when we last spoke. You're never a burden, please don't ever think that you are. I'm always here. Okay, on to your issues.

If you're not happy in your relationship, then don't force it upon yourself. I would sit and talk with your boyfriend and explain that you feel neglected. Normally people always have their phone on them. If he's asleep then that is understandable, but if it takes hours to reply to you during every conversation, then there is a problem. If nothing changes after this, then something is going on.

You can't live your life worried about how others will cope if it leaves you unhappy. You reaching out shows that you're not happy. If you want to break up with Markus* then I suggest sitting him down and talking to him about the relationship. Tell him you're not happy and the reasons why. He may be depressed and possibly suicidal, but don't let him use that as an excuse for you to stay in an unhappy relationship. You're young honey, you have a long life ahead of you.

As for the issue with Trey*, I would have your friends send you the evidence of what Shayla* is doing. That way when you talk to Trey* you can show him that you have proof. Explain to him that he's your best friend and you want him to have a girlfriend who respects not only him but herself as well. A girl doing these things doesn't respect herself at all. More than likely she also leaves Trey* outta the conversation when showing her body off.

If Trey* is a good friend he will understand that you're just looking out for him. There are some scandalous females, and males, out here! Don't let him be fooled by one of them. Just be a friend to him and he will appreciate you.

I hope I could be of some help to you. I hope things either better with you and Markus*, if not then maybe it's best you split apart. I also hope that Trey* will realize what is happening behind his back. It's a good thing you are wanting to tell him so he doesn't look like a fool in front of everyone. I'm here if you need to talk about everything more deeply.

Love always,

Boo
