hi,
my girlfriends parents get into lots of fights and stuff, and she tells me about it... i love her very much, but i don't know what to say about this, i don't know how to react! whenever she talks about it i just don't know what to do, i feel like something i say might hurt her... i've never been in a situation like this before... please tell me what to do!! i feel helpless!!
 
Sometimes she doesn't want an answer. she is venting and getting the negatives off her chest. Just listen,,,carefully. When she stares at you as if expecting a reply then you step in but not before. Be consoling like "I'm sure it'll be alright" but not too often otherwise she might think you are patronising her.

If yopu feel the pressure is too much, then tell her to contact me through my contact email and I'll try to sort her out for you. You can contact me also if you want to. I'm a little bit older than both of you and may be able to offer a different perspective.

Many parents fight for different reason, but usually it boils down to money matters. It doesn't help if the kids join in the screaming matches. Grrr!
 
Everyone entitles to his/her opinions. Often people disagree and it is really no body's fault. Just be a listener and give her a venue to get her frustration out of her. Letting her talk it out would make her better. She needs to be concerned because they are her parents. You can turn your focus on how your gf feels, and not what the argument was about. But you can assure her that she is not responsible for her parent's argument. Just give her support.
