[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 2372285, member: 5388"] Having just watched a friend end up on the crap-end of a relationship with a truly horrid woman, my advice is stay out of it. Not a single one of his friends liked this woman, and she went out of her way to make herself as unlikeable as possible, then would tell him how horrible we all treated her. She was a prescription drug addict, an alchoholic, and had been separated from her husband for over 10 years but wouldn't divorce him. He then found out she'd been using him to advance in the company the both worked for, and was trying to sleep with their district manager (an old frat brother of my friend). At first, we all tried to tell him about all the red flags we saw in her, but it just made him angry and he shut us out. He told us how we were jealous of what a great relationship he had and how much they were in love. We, as a group, decided to just let it go. It would come crashing down. And it did. He thanked me for not saying "I told you so", even though he knew I wanted to. He said the more people tried to convince him how awful she was, the more he was convinced to prove us wrong. And speaking from a personal perspective, I was once in a relationship like this many years ago, and I did the exact same thing. Which is why I didn't really get as involved as some of our other friends. I knew it would just make things worse. [/QUOTE]
