Well, people usually give advice to the ones whom they care about the most. And a good advice from a close person can save them from making further mistakes. However, today I would like to talk about a time when I gave a piece of suggestion to one of my friends, Aira, about her, uh, relationship. Because I thought that she needed someone who could show her the right way. Anyway, it was about a few months ago. Asira seemed disturbed to me, and that’s why I asked her about it. And then she told me that she was having some problems with her boyfriend. And when she told me what, uh, were the issues, uh, I was shocked, um, by hearing her words. And I immediately perceived that her boyfriend was a toxic guy and not good for her. And that’s why I suggested to her break up with him and come out of that toxic relationship. By the way, Azmira didn’t take my advice seriously. As she was head over heels in love with him. Uh, instead, she misunderstood me and thought that, uh, I might be jealous of her and wanted to destroy their relationship. And the saddest part was that she even started to ignore me. M but, um, when she saw the true colors of her boyfriend, she break up with. Broke up with him.

Well, people usually give advice to those they care about the most. A good piece of advice from a close friend can help them avoid making mistakes. Today, I'd like to talk about a time when I gave advice to one of my friends, Aira, about her relationship. I felt she needed someone to offer a different perspective. It was a few months ago. Aira seemed troubled, so I asked her what was wrong. She confided in me that she was having problems with her boyfriend. When she told me about the issues, I was shocked. It was clear to me that her boyfriend was toxic and not good for her. I suggested she break up with him and get out of that unhealthy relationship. Unfortunately, Aira didn't take my advice seriously. She was deeply in love with him. She misunderstood me, thinking I was jealous and wanted to sabotage their relationship. Sadly, she even started to ignore me. However, when she finally saw her boyfriend's true colors, she broke up with him.
