My husband and I have a roommate. He is one of my husband's friends, a really nice guy, and plans to keep living with us for the next year. He initially moved in because things weren't working out with the girlfriend he was living with. In the middle of this, they got into a huge fight, and he got so angry that he started tearing up one of the stuffed toys in the living room. She freaks out, calls the cops, and then he got the spend the weekend in jail. Then, despite the restraining order, she kept trying to contact him and wonders why he never calls or e-mails back. When he was living with her he was so stressed out that he started smoking again, but quit after living with us for 3 months.
Now, about 4 months after court and restraining orders, they're still not supposed to be in touch, but the roommate is back to dating her, and spending the night frequently. And we can't convince him that this is going to keep going badly. My husband won't allow her in the house, though we know that she was over when we were out of town for a couple weeks. No matter what she does he say "but I still love her". He got in so much trouble because of her, but he keeps going back. In our house he's so calm, and easy going that I can't imagine that he could get angry enough for me to want to call the cops. I wish he would see that this relationship is going to keep causing him problems. I realize that our roommate is a grown man who can make his own decisions, but I want to keep him from making the same mistakes again.

well you can only give him advices on what he is supposed to see, this girl he is dating obviously is a bad news, but you cant force him to do things he is bound to do anyway because, he said so himself that he love this girl. he will be making mistakes again, and yes you just have to let him realize that i guess. :)

Maybe she tie him.
Anyway this is what love does with you. Persons on the outside will see the ills and danger that are destroying us when we are in an destructive relationship but we never see it until it is too late. I think he should listen to the restraining order because this girl do not mean him anything good. If she did then she would have plan a life of security and goodwill with him.
This relationship is as similar as the one that I am trying to come out of. Yes the guy was a loser and I didn't know until it is too late. So you see sometimes it is good to listen. I hope your friend come to his senses before it reach too far.
