that was a couple years ago, and she STILL is painful to interact with from his perspective.

problem: she's his best friend's little sister. (lawl)

SO, basically, he wants to salvage some kind of mutually respectful relationship out of this, and as a third-party observer... i can tell you that this is never going to happen.

problem for me: he wants me to help him salvage this relationship by being a friend to her.

and i've met her twice, and she's totally weird to me, she clearly still wants to have ownership over him, but he's moved on. anyway, the ONLY thing i can do is be polite. i have absolutely no desire to be friends with this girl or interact with her.

doing so would also bridge the gap between her and him, you know? she would still be the observer that she wants to be, and the facade of control that she needs.

i've explained all this to him, and he generally understands, but there doesn't seem to be a way around interacting with her.

halp?

Er... just because his best friend is his sister doesn't mean you have to interact with her at all...
