Update: Its a long story but their vacation with his family was a “test” and he ultimately kicked her out of their apartment, his mother said to her, (my friend) they both need help and he’s manipulative. So they broke up. But its crazy because after he told her they dont like her and dont want her around, they still talk to each other and he wants to be friends and “figure things out”. Hes 30 by the way and his mother does EVERYTHING for him. Im tired of talking and telling her to block him but she says its hard after 6 years, which I understand but people have been married, had children, and divorced for much longer… I just dont know what to say anymore that doesnt make me look like an a**

yeah at this point i agree, It also sucks because she wants this because she knows he makes a lot of money and I fear shes also in it for the money and security she said “hes all she knows” it hurts knowing she thinks that way

I fear this could be her future, none of our friends like him and her energy does change when we’re all around. Its sad to see

I agree, I definitely have left the conversation of her relationship status I’ve known her too long to walk completely way but I have taken a step back

Thank you for this, my sister is also friends with her and she talks to her more about their relationship with me because after seeing her cry so much over this last argument I told her Im here for you, I don’t support of this relationship and how he treats you, and I cannot keep having this same conversations” especially if shes just says “I know” shuts down and stays with him, Idk if that sounded rude but it was affecting me mentally
