Social Situation: Dating

Asking for a friend.



I'm actually serious in this case. Haven't had any problems with the relationship I've been in for about 3 years now.



Anyway, my gf has this friend, whom we'll call Girl. I know Girl very well. Girl has a bf Boy. I don't know Boy at all.



Girl is my age (22) and Boy is 29. Boy has ADD and Girl graduated with a Psychology major. Girl and Boy dated about three years ago. Boy broke up with Girl after a bit less than a year, and Girl was torn. Girl and Boy's relationship seemed to be extremely unsteady, since Boy would rarely contact Girl or respond to Girl's attempts to contact Boy. Here's what I mean: Girl is ecstatic when she gets a text from Boy - I'm talking about one text per week if she were lucky. They rarely communicated outside of texts. Girl is usually lucky to hear anything from Boy. Girl keeps oscillating between ending the relationship and blaming herself for the state of the relationship. I know most definitely that Girl is not happy at all with the relationship because of Boy's lack of communication.



After about 8 months or so, Girl and Boy got back together. Girl probably told Boy to take her back, so he did. And my gf and I see the same things happening again: everything's fine for a while, Girl loves Boy - and then Girl gets depressed, blames herself, starts thinking about breaking up with Boy, Boy isn't communicating, etc., etc. - and then everything's fine, etc. It's an infinite loop. They have been together since their breakup for about 8 months now.



So, what would you do to help Girl?
