Without knowing her or your relationship with her, my best advice would be to gently tell her that the longer she dwells on it and the more she thinks about it, the longer and harder it's going to be to move on.

"I care about you and I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but you need to find another outlet for talking about this, like a therapist if you're comfortable with that. Continuing to put all of this on me every time we talk is exhausting and honestly makes me want to see you less, which I hate to say because I enjoy spending time with you."

Or something to that effect. And then continue to reinforce it if she ignores you and is back at it again the next day.

Warning: no matter how gently you tell someone this, it's possible for them to take it personally and as a result it can hurt your friendship. But often that's preferable to them continuing to treat you like an unpaid therapist.

Weve all been through it. Shut the fuck up or find a girl to talk to. I dont care.

Direct is always best if someone is annoying or they go on thinking their behavior is okay.

The problem is when you put it that way they still think it's OK they just think you're an asshole now.

Claim you're workshopping an idea to help keep things like this from happening in the future using blockchain technology and would like her advice. You don't even need to know anything about the blockchain - I mean who really does? - just bullshit it. "See, when you enter a relationship it'll be logged on the blockchain and since it's all decentralized you won't be able to hide evidence of cheating."

The real answer (for me) is youve been bringing it up a lot, it must really be bothering you. Whats up with that - you ok?

Not saying its the right approach but its what I would do.

and honestly why do you think that guy bounced?

honestly fair but this kind of melodrama is something I have only experienced with straight female friends

Ive been the one making sure shes been okay since things ended. I was just in a shit mood this morning and was v salty.

he bounced because they were both going through a lot of personal shit and he tried to keep it going as long as he could but the shift from honeymoon phase to intense support system suddenly (the personal shit was sudden but I will clarify it wasnt like, death in the family level. Career stuff.) was just untenable. And he still has been there as a friend in a more limited capacity so its not like he just bounced and cold shouldered.

I care deeply about this friend and the motivation for asking was because I wanted advice on how to deal with my own exhaustion (which is kinda what he was probably dealing with regarding other stuff) without making her feel like I was abandoning her. The topic title sounds harsher than I feel cause again I was in a shit mood

Depends on if OP is a gay man. Straight women have a tendency to have certain expectations of their gay male friends that may not be fair and that they would not have of a straight man or gay female.

Anyway, if she's been on about this longer than the relationship I would point that out. It is not a sign of good mental health if someone obsesses over a break up longer than the relationship lasted and, as someone else mentioned, she may need to seek therapy.

Tell her that you understand she is still sad by it but you need a break from her talking to you about it because it is impacting you negatively.

you get to have boundaries, if she cant respect that thats an issue
