Answer 1

This way is not effective because it can lead her to the unconscious anger against her boyfriend. It is better for her to not to trick herself as it won't satisfy her offense and can even make everything worse. We are people and we must communicate and tell our closest people all the things that bother us. She has to calm down and talk to her boyfriend so that they could discuss a situation and come to the conclusions.
