Tough Talk,
My best friend has just gotten over a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend. They moved in together and were preparing the wedding when she discovered that he was on line trying to meet other women. He begged her forgiveness. She forgave him and caught him doing it again, three more times. She kicked him out, but he keeps simpering around like a little puppy dog. I know she is going to forgive him and make up with him.
I don’t want to see her get hurt again. What should I do? (Mapleton, Ohio)
Mapleton,
Unfortunately, you can’t change your friend’s feelings, bad choices and stupid decisions. Your friend sounds like a lost cause and I wouldn’t waste your breath on explaining her stupidity. What you can do however, is go after the ex-boyfriend. Tell him in no uncertain terms how you feel and how utterly disgusted you are with him. Ask him about his on-line activities and other personal questions. You can easily embarrass him. Make sure she’s around when you do this.
