poor guy.
he is missing something from his life and is desperate to find it. there is no helping him. if he was my buddy, i think i would have to bow out of the friendship. to protect myself from blowing a brain gasket. i wish the happy couple luck..i hope he at least gets a reach around.

 Your right about the greed. He told one of our group that he wants to pile the gold on the table and show us all how wrong we were. He forgot the guy he told is one of "us". The "girlfriend" is probably a guy. The original girl probably sold his contact to someone else. I told him he's been saying "I love you" to some guy for several months.

Friends don’t abandon each other when times get tough. Also, friends are not enablers. Here in lies the rub.

If someone chooses to self destruct, at some point, I no longer feel obligated to watch... It's not healthy for me either...YMMV. |

Another perspective is that your "buddy" has a friend who is an idiot.............

Everything that I have posted I have said to his face. I am not alone. There are 5 of us who have known him for a total of over 200 years and he won't believe us. We all have told him he was being scammed.

I had a friend once that I gave a job and a substantial raise. He blew thirty thousand dollars having an affair with his daughter's BFF. He did not want help, did not need help, and hit a pretty hard bottom. I did not pick him up twice, but I did give him some pretty solid advice some time later, when he was about to screw up again. People have to do what they have to do. I have seen worse. Last edited by DanielDudley; 03-09-2018 at 02:06 PM.. |
