My friend, he is getting married to a girl, who is pregnant with another mans baby. Its been proven but he wont admit it, even though they both told me. I have a hunch that she might be using him because she knows that she can get him to do anything she wants, he's working 2 full time jobs, and is pretty much killing himself slowly so she can be happy. I mean, is there anything I can do to help my friend, anyway to make him realize this might be a bad choice? Please help me, I dont like seeing him like this.

you can only express your concern and give your friend some advice but you can't dictate what he should or should not do. It is still his decision to make. If he loves the girl that much that he is willing to overlook that fact that the child is not his, then let it be. Maybe you can help him in some other ways so that he will not have such a hard time.

Unfortunately all you can do is support him and everything that he is doing. Love is blind and maybe before he does get married things will change. How long before he gets married?

If you told him the truth about what you know... It will be up to him! Because truth should set him free. Sometimes people listen only to what they want to hear and there is nothing we can do about that, except to pray for them because what we cannot do, God can. But there is also such thing as unconditional love. People often do crazy and irrational things because of that. Sometimes this will result great changes, sometimes a lot of pain. But real love for me is never wasted. It always come back worth it. You can only advice your friend, you cannot live his life. If he is doing a mistake, he will remember your good advice and maybe the next time he is faced with difficult situation. He will listen to you. Just still show your friendship and loyalty to her.

Well dude sounds like your situation sucks. I think you should confront your friend's girl and ask her if she really, really loves him because you think that she is ruining your friend, and if she doesn't then tell her to leave because she is destroying your friend.

I have a friend that is doing the same thing I can't stand her mate choice. He has been abusive before and I won't be surprised if he does it again. However even though I have told her all this she don't want to listen. After you mentioned issues you need to realize that people are grown up. Once you told them what they do is their own choice.

this is not a good situation, if it was me, i would not marry her because she is already bearing someone else's child, if its mine then i will marry her.Furthermore, being used as a subtitute to replace the lost one and getting care and monetary from the guy is not a good thing after all. It might be a little harsh to say that she is using him but that could be the fact too,love is suppose to be happy and not torturing at all.

What?! Getting married to somebody who's having someone else's baby? Wow! Your friend must be a martyr, or blinded, or maybe just purely in love with the girl... You know, I can't think of any other reasons for a man to take responsiblity for another man's kid if he isn't in love with the mother of the child. An where the heck is the real father?

Don't you think that girl too loves your friend?If it is the case,let them get married happily and live a better life.True love see nothing flaw in their partners.If you are going to insist more on this,then you may lose your friendship too.that is the power of love.So,you have no other choice than to remain a silent spectator.Cheers!

i don't think it's a bad choice or your friend is making a big mistake. because i feel it's very difficult to judge a marriage right or wrong. the situation you said is true, but it doesn't mean your friend doesn't know it or think about it. maybe to his it's not big issue. he would like to accept it. i think as a good friend you can tell him what you know openly and tell what you think, if he continue to get married the girl, then wish him good luck. that's all. time will tell everything

i am impressed by your care for your friend. but the question is that maybe your friend is truly love the girl, even if she doesnot love him as much. but who knows what could happen in the future? maybe they can live a happy marital life. so if your friend insist on marrying her, just give your best wishes to them.

I feel your concern with your friend's choice. But unfortunately, it seems that your friend is badly blinded by his love for this girl. Well, right now you can try showing him what is the consequences of his choices but you can only enlighten him at that point. He still is to decide on his own because that is his life and you cannot dictate him from following what you think is right for him. Well hopefully all will be well for them if he pursues it.

Hi! What matters is your friend's happiness. If he is happy with the girl then let him be. Just give him the support he needs.

maybe your friend loves the girl. love conquers all as they say. give them the benefit of the doubt. maybe they love each other and that's the most important thing in a relationship.
