A girlfriend with a recent break-up

(Pictures are taken for representation purpose only) Let her talk: There will be times when the girl will be disturbed and discuss some bitter truths from the past. When she shares that, hear her patiently and try to understand what she has gone through. Do not interrupt, ask questions, and be generally dismissive about what she is saying. If she cannot share her sadness with you, why are you there for? Just for the happy times?
