I find my friend being fooled by this guy and she just beleives anything he throws her way, he is just playing around and no body is able to make her see sense, he claims to love her as he is being harassed by his wife, then when his wife just happened to read an sms he just dumps her without a word, now its one year but she still thinks the world of him and her thoughts revolve around the little time she spent with him, then out of the blue he calls her one day asking her to meet him privatly then thats it again he has vanished, does not attend her calls and nor does he respond to any sms but she just says he is scared of his wife or he will be there for her what is to be done of her she is in a bad state

u know that song by miariah carey that sings your brining on the heart break thats what she is heading for its her experience u arw very concerned for her but she is under a spell call ionfatuation its very blinding and some say it is love for them,and no matter what u say to her she just doesn't hear it or see it until the spell is broken with a heart break,sweetie u try to push too much and she is going to tell u that your jealous of her relatioship,thats how blind of a conversation u can get from her also,if u wanna still help invite her to the lot,by emailing this conversation to her,i doubt it can break the spell but its the best u can do for her,get to her thoughts

When a woman falls in love, I mean really falls, there is very little that guy can do that will make himself look bad to her. The younger she is the more this is true. She is holding out hope that one day he will deal with his wife and come running to her. Right now that is all she can see. She is being used of course. She is good for a while and then off and running. At the very least he is extremely inconsiderate of her and that alone should raise all kinds of alarms for her. But not yet. Nothing you can say will make any difference until she finally sees it herself. If she waited for a full year only to have him return and then be gone again and she is still okay with that, nothing you can do.

my friend, a sumacumlaude, fall into a standby guy. she tried everything to change the guy. because she works as one of the big boss in a big company, her family was sent to london. my friend offered her husband to go school (all expense paid by the company) so that theres something that she can be proud of to her dad who is very dissapointed for marrying the guy. not interested with the offer, what the guy did is ask his wife to send him back home and he'll just stay there. it took my friend 8years to finally decide to divorce the guy. she cant even ask help when it comes to watching over kids. there were so many of us telling her every that she never deserve the guy. they say when you fall in love, you're like a picture on the frame. you never know whats happening around when you're the one inside it.

Wow thats the hardest thing to try and convince a woman that she is beeong fooled other than talk to her .When women are inlove there are blind to veryone else aprt from teh man who she is inlove with .So I suggest that you continue trying and hoep that one day she will see the light. Wow but your friend really seems to be messed up because that is clear that he is ust using her for his pleasure .Maybe you could let her watch a movie with that theme and hopefully it will shock her to her senses

actually there is no way that can guarantee you that your friend would come to her senses but you can try by talking to her. this is what being a friend is. if this fails you can either stay away from her for awhile if you cannot take her stupidity or you can just be ready for the tears when she realizes what you know all along. even though we love our friends so much there are limitations to what we can do in their lives. this same thing is the same in parents' situations with their children once their offspings grow up.

hello ruby.. i feel for your friend... but honestly and sadly, their is no way that you can bring her to her senses when is being played on by the guy... well, as a friend, i can only suggest that you just be there when she needs you and dont even try saying, "i told you so" because she might think that you are not supporting her. Why not... help her find a good guy?

unfortunately it seems to be human nature to let our hearts rule especially us women...when a girl loves a guy one just doesn't listen to anyone so I guess all you can do is say something once and then let it go...everyone has their own choices to make and their own road to travel through life so the best thing you can do now is just be there for her....

i am afraid if there is any way to make her realise. love is actually blind.she will hate you if you show her the reality thinking you are trying to break her current relationship.its better to be by her side when she needs you the most.thats the maximum you can do.

We can't do anything to straighten a person who has got her heart stuck by the wrong cupid arrows. She no longer has the right frequency with anyone that notice the flows in the relationship. I can say her heart do not listen to her head anymore. Unless until she has knocked her head on a thick brick wall then she might be able to come back to her senses. A man will not divorce his wife for a woman without any good reasons. He is just playing his hunting games and your friend has become the hunted prey. Unfortunately you only watch her helplessly blinded by her own fantasies.

it is really very to bring back somebody's senses when a person is so in loved with someone even if he'she is being fooled. I have a close friend who was once like that and it took her for a while to realize that she was doing wrong loving him. See what love can do? Love can blind people.

Well, that the mystery of love could makes anyone blind and even you clearly state that she is being fool then your friend remain a martyr. She have to open her eyes and mind to the reality that the guy whom she love is already married then her relationship with him is bound to collapse. because the guy could not left his wife and so it is clear it is all based on lust and not on true love. You could advise your friend to see all those things and balance her life knowing exactly what she like to be happy and not suffer under false love if she would like to be loved then have to learn to love first herself than anyone else.

Just let her be. If you try to help her, she we´ll get mad at you, or even start to mistrust in you. Just let things flow, and you as friend only have the task to have warned her, and then tell her "I told you so"

It is very difficult to get involved in someone else's affairs of the heart. The best you can do for your friend is probably just be a soft place to fall if she needs you. In triangles involving a married man, it is sad that she is even involved in the first place, so I understand your concern for her. We often so clearly can see the mistakes our friends make, but not often are successful in getting them to see our point of view. Unfortunately, this is a mistake she will have to learn from on her own.
