18 years old friend moving with a 26h girl!

You can only make him see the things you have mentioned .. Being his first long term gf and all .. he probably does feels a lot for this girl .. but you are right .. from the looks of it, shes as manipulative as some can be. Im not making judgements, but making a rich guy live with self, make him pay rent, keep him away from things he likes and his friends seems manipulative to me. Your friends will be heartbroken if ever this girl finds someone else ... Its probably more appropriate for you to ask the guy if he is sure that the girl truly wants to be with im and all .. If theres a doubt about her commitment, things would get bad. Besides, your friend is 18, he has a whole life ahead of him .. make him see that he has an oppurtunity to live the life a teenager should live .. instead he is living a life of a 40 year old already. If the girl truly likes him, she wont move away and settle away from him if he decides to live with his parents yet continue with the relationship. He just needs to use the right words .. and so do you. A person supposedly in love with someone usually dont like to hear such things about the partner, but thse aret he things which u have to make sure he realizes. In the end however, itsh is life ... u have to support him in whatever he chooses. Good Luck and take care.

you can't do anything at all. in my oppinion, your friend has to talk with his girlfriend and tell her that he doesn't want to move in with her yet. she might get upset of course, but if she really loves him she should respect his decision. he is still very young to do those things, especially if you say that his girlfriend isn't very nice to him. i let my boyfriend play football whenever he wants and i am very happy that he is playing. i don't like it afterwards between the football and the shower, and of course that is tired, but i definetly let him play and watch football. but regarding your friend, he should talk to her and make her realize that this isn't what he wants. in a relasionship it should be good for both persons.

I think its just his life. although he is quite young, still better let him do what he wants. may be he is getting influenced by that older girl. But its life and he knows best.

There isn't really anything you can do directly. Indirectly there is a great deal you might be able to do. Sounds to me like he is not happy in this relationship. I am wondering why he would say that there is nothing he can do about not moving in with her? Why can he simply not say no to her? Does he think there won't be other girls along the way? Are his parents aware of what the situation is? Other than the fact that this is his first girlfriend what causes him to stay with her? While I have no issue with the age difference in most cases, in this case it appears that the woman is taking advantage of him for some reason. What is she getting out of this?
