Better off without him!

Your friend is lucky to have you, a caring friend who isn't afraid to deal with difficult situations head-on.

All you can do for her at the moment is be a support, be on the end of the phone for her when she needs you. And look after you, get well, then you can be more of a practical help.

Hugs hunny,

God's gift - but don't expect it instantly.

A few years ago I had heart surgery in Austria. My boyfriend at the time was in the UK & (understandably) couldn't just fly out for one day, but on the morning of the operation when I realised that I was actually really scared, I phoned him. He didn't answer. It just rang out. Granted, it was 7am his time, but if someone I cared about was having something like that done I'd have it in my diary and I'd be checking in with them as often as possible to make sure they were ok! In the end I called a friend who's always been there for me no matter what.

I guess it's times like these you realise who your true friends are. Well done for being there for her.

Big boot disgusting behaviour

^^^ This is so true!

To the OP - be there for your friend, at the end of the phone if not in person, you are being a wonderful friend to her, focus on that

Can I also suggest... don't comment on the boyfriend's behaviour to your friend.. she must already be feeling really miserable about his crap behaviour, don't make her face it by raising it (unless she brings it up herself). And if you are able to, maybe try to have an offline chat with the boyfriend... he either is the git he seems to be or maybe, like @All_of_me said, he is finding it hard too - in which case you can explain to him what (negative) effect his behaviour his having on a woman he supposedly loves and encourage him to act differently

((big hugs)) and also for your friend !

There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me

Hugs.

Then he should have refused to be nominated as next of kin and emergency contact. But agreed, this is not the time to get righteous about his poor behaviour today, just be there for her. Is there anyone who could take you there as you can't drive (if it is a practical distance of course)?

I call people like the boyfriend 'chocolate teapots' - look good until there is a bit of heat then they melt under the pressure.

I'm afraid that people have very strange reactions to other peoples health issues. I've even witnessed this close up and personal with very close members of family. People can't put others first sometimes... It really is quite unf***ing believable. In fact I can feel the anger and disappointment from the incident I was involved in welling up now and that was in 2003...

So... Very right to be upset and rant!!

Let's all play nicely people.. Just remember.. This is meant to be fun!
