I've asked our other mates about this and they have all said the same...I find it a bit weird!! She got with this new guy not very long after splitting from a longterm relationship. She has had to deal with alot of issues brought on by her parents divorcing, and she used to share everything with her previous bf...but with this new one she tells him nothing, I know this coz she tells me about the issues...but still doesn't talk about her new bf!...and the other day I was saying about my boyfriend "he can be a bit of a dick, but he's a gentleman at heart". Her response was not regarding her new bf, but the old one...saying "He was always a gentleman". So strange, in that situation you'd expect her to say about her new bf, not her ex. I'm so confused, she doesn't seem very happy...I think mainly to do with her parents, I just wanna help her. Thanks xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 In other words this new guy is most likely a rebound. That would explain the not talking about him and the reference back to her ex over her new bf. Its possible that the problems with regard to her parents have made her appreciate her ex even more and she may well now be regretting the break-up. Not much you can do about that however really. What you really need to do is just do what I suspect you be there already for your friend. Tell her she can confide in you if need be and just offer a friendly ear and a shoulder to cry on. Also, why not try and do things with her to take her mind away from what is going on. Good luck!
