Hello,

Quick background: There is this amazing girl that I have known since grade school. (I had a really bad crush on her in the 6th grade). In the last few months I have gotten much closer to her. We have hung out in small groups of friends. I love her. She has been dating this other guy for almost 4 years. Since early in highschool (we are now in college). He doesn't treat her very well. She is in tears about things that he says often. It really kills me to see her upset. I don't understand why she continues to go back to him (although they attend different schools and see eachother only once a week) I really only want her to be happy. I have never really brought up the subject, but have tried to reasure her when she is upset. I don't know what to do...

Thanks
