Keeping me happy

- My girlfriend doesn't want me to hang out with my buddies. I don't want to ditch my friends because they are the ones that keeping me happy, listening to my problems.

- Why don't say we "make" instead of "keep"? By the way, speaking of grammar, it should be "keep me happy, listen to my problems", right? Emotion: smile

Thanks very much to Teachers,
