Hi every one

I wanted to ask about a situation my friend was telling me about .
His girlfriend and him have been seeing each other for almost 3 years .
Recently her mother has become ill and is taking up her time and he feels unimportant . So he and his girlfriend are taking a break from the relationship. On one hand I don't think breaks are a bad thing but I think of break I think of not seeing each other for a month or just lightly dating . Also she lives with her brother so shouldn't he take on some of the responsibility with the mom?

They have not seen each other in over a month and have not been intimate since August . They are keeping in touch via text and email some times talking,
I asked if he felt she was pushing him away , he said he did not get that vibe . I am just trying to look out for him . He is a good guy but has in the past had some depression issues but is doing better . His father killed himself so he grew up with out a dad .

So I guess my question is , is she pushing him away?
I am only trying to look out for my friend .
Pleas let me know what you think

I hope your friend is not as selfish as you sound. Her mother is ill and that is her priority right now. They do communicate so how is she pushing him away?
If he is not having a problem, why are you? Are you a male or female?

My mother had cancer I still had space in my life for my boyfriend and school and work. It was hard to do but that was when I needed my boyfriend the most.

Looking our for your friend is good. I wouldn't be concerned for this though. An ill mother is something that will throw monkey wrenches in everything.

They will either get back together or not. Nothing you do will help or hinder either of those outcomes. Just support your friend.

I think you let your friend decide for himself what he does about the status of his relationship. The best way to look out for him is be a good listener, and be there when he needs you, and don't judge him.

That was you. Don't judge how she deals with a sick mother. If he has no problem, you shouldn't.
