Friend getting back with her ex

I don’t want to be her friend anymore. Why do I need to endlessly support somebody who won’t help herself? I’m tired of the late night calls, writing paragraphs after paragraphs convincing her that his actions aren’t her fault, and nothing changes.

But i’m a bad person for feeling this way. For not supporting somebody who is in a toxic cycle. What if i’m not strong enough to do it? They aren’t strong enough to leave, and i’m not strong enough to listen to the pain they keep putting themselves in.

I want her to help herself. I want her to stop going back, and making me listen to all of the ways that he is still exactly the same. I want my friend back, who cared about what was happening in my life. Not the girl who blankly stares at me while I speak, and then directs the conversation topic back to her man.

I don’t want to be someone who abandons a friend in need. But the longer this goes on, the less that I want to be her friend.
