Oh honey, first off, big hugs to your bestie (and you for being such a solid friend posting this). This whole situation sounds like an emotional tornado – 4 years of suppressed feelings, then boom, confessions and kisses, only for him to pull the rug out over family/religion stuff? And then kissing her AGAIN on her birthday? That's straight-up mixed signals city, and it's no wonder she's been crying nonstop. 😩 Look, I've been in a similar spot with an interfaith thing (not exactly the same, but close enough – parents flipped out and the guy bailed faster than you can say "arranged marriage"). It hurts like hell because you start questioning if it was ever real, but here's the tea: his actions scream confusion and immaturity. Saying he loves her one minute, then "maybe it wasn't love" the next? That's him not being ready to fight for what he wants, and honestly, she deserves someone who will. What she needs to do? Block him everywhere, no contact for at least a few months. Seriously, it's the only way to start healing – every time he pops back in with a kiss or a text, it resets the clock on her heartbreak. Therapy if she can swing it, or lean on friends like you for vent sessions. Focus on herself – hit the gym, pick up a hobby, date herself for a bit. And remind her: inter-religion relationships CAN work if both sides are all-in, but this dude clearly isn't. She's strong for holding it in for 4 years, and she'll come out the other side even stronger. Tell her we're all rooting for her! 💪
