[life stories] MY FRIEND GOT A GIRLFRIEND AND I WANT TO GET AWAY FROM HIM

I have a best friend I've known for over 30 years.

We're practically family to each other's families.

We've lived in the same neighborhood since we were four or five years old.

He told me he's found someone he wants to marry,

and showed me a photo.

Turns out it's a girl I dated briefly about 4–5 years ago for a couple of months before breaking up

The reason we broke up was because…

she was really bad when it came to men. If they were male, that was enough for her

She also had really strong narcissistic tendencies and a huge victim complex

Anyway, that's why I ended things early.

But now my friend's dating her and saying he wants to marry her...

My friend is probably the kindest person I know

Just genuinely nice... not much dating experience either

This is basically his first relationship in years

And honestly, I think she's already started taking advantage of him financially too.

So... what am I supposed to do?

Talk about that woman without holding anything back. Don't lie to your friend out of fear that you might drift apart. And even if you do drift apart, don't be upset about it

If he's really a close friend, you should let him know. It's up to your friends to choose, and people don't change

It's weird how those kinds of strange women always seem to end up with nice guys... I wish I could meet a nice guy tooㅎㅎ

If you guys are friends, I think you'd tell him and wait for his decision. Please tell him that even if he cuts ties with you, there's nothing you can do about it

The reason people are usually careful about interfering in a couple's relationship is because they're afraid it'll ruin the friendship. But in this case, even if you stay quiet, the friendship is probably going to drift apart anyway. Do you really think that woman is going to stay still once she finds out who you are? She'll try to protect herself by manipulating things behind the scenes and pushing your friend away from you. If staying silent still leads to the friendship ending anyway, then wouldn't it be better to at least say something? If you talk to your friend, the chances of him cutting you off are basically 50/50. But if you say nothing, there's a near 100% chance she'll slowly drive a wedge between you two behind the scenes. And during that process, who knows what kind of misunderstandings she could create? For all you know, she could tell him that you two broke up because you were using her for money, or because you tried something with her younger sister, or some other made-up story
