I think friends who really care do need to get involved, at least to offer objective advice. And although many of his other friends have similar suspicions about this new woman in his life, they just want to “keep out of it” because it’s “none of their business.” I think they should be ashamed of themselves. Sadly, my friendship with this person is on the rocks - indeed, he’s tuned me out completely and won’t listen to anything I have to say. My friend is apparently quite smitten with this woman and I suspect it’s because they met at a time in his life when he was feeling particularly vulnerable to an agreeable woman’s “charms.” A objective list of things to consider to reveal the truth.Ī very, very good friend of mine - someone I’ve known for a very long time - has begun dating a woman who may have ulterior motives in the relationship.
