The problem with getting involved is that sometimes friends don't always want to hear the truth, even if they are good friends. Besides that, you only see what's on the outside. Sometimes it works for people even though it looks to you like it won't. I have a really good friend who was dating an awful girl. She messed with his mind, got him thrown in jail in 'Vegas, and almost cost him his job. He finally broke up with her, but then she crept back in. I told him he was stupid to let her anywhere near him. I told her she was a nutjob and was ruining my buddy's life. Neither of them listened. Eventually, she sort of normaled out and they ended up married. It was pretty awkward for a while. She didn't forget the $hitty things I said to her, and about her. It made it hard for my friend for a while, because they were married and she didn't really want me around. It took a long time, but time heals all and now she and my wife get along great. We all get together when we can and she truly is good company. Lesson learned: if a friend asks, and only if they ask, offer an honest, objective opinion ONCE, and then butt out. Don't make it personal and let your friends do what they think is right. If it's ruining your life, I guess you don't need that type of person in your life. Tough choices for sure, but you never know what someone else is thinking.
