Why some people are so hard to mend?

I have a friend who is charming and easily gets along with the girls, and he thinks this is his strength. He uses them for his physical needs and thinks he is right. He may be right if he is not married, in my opinion, but as he is married, I think having a relationship with another person is not right. What's your opinion? I have talked to him several times on this, but he is adamant and hard to make him understand. I have left it for now on him.

Hopefully he'll get burnt one day and learn his lesson. I doubt there is much you can do to change him.

That's right..but being a good friend I can tell him that the path in which he's going is not the right one. I wish his wife comes to know about it

@sjvg1976 That's good of you to talk to him but I doubt he would thank you for it.

He has two kids. Yes, talking to him is certainly a waste of time and energy.

Oh he seems to be lacking in the brain department but well endowed in the reflex department.

Sometimes I also think so. It's difficult for me to explain things as he doesn't understand and always pretend that he's right.

@RebeccasFarm Yes he is. I am not going to say anything to him because now he thinks me to his enemy.

His wife will leave him someday and then he might think about it

Absolutely, that's what I tell him, but he seems to take things so lightly as if he knows he will never be able to get caught by his wife.

Sounds like you are in a rough spot with your friend. He is not seeing any issue with his antics. People may have different boundaries in relationships. Once married, crossing certain lines does impact the trust and commitment they made. I agree with you using others for any needs while in a committed relationship is never right. Its admirable you spoke to him about his. It is unfortunate he is unwilling to hear you or change his ways. Perhaps time or experience will be necessary to change his mindset. I can understand why you left it now. There is less you can do when one does not listen to. I think you supported him as a good and supportive friend, but then there are times we are helpless. Take care!

I completely agree. Being a friend I wanted that he should not go to the wrong way but now I realise that I cannot change him, only time will change him.

I feel sorry for his wife. I bet she has no idea and he has excuses for why he goes out sometimes and comes home late. How unfortunate. I suggest you cut this friend off. There is no need to be friends with a cheater even if he is a nice guy to you. He's definitely not a nice guy to his wife nor to the women he is using.

I am almost cut off from this guy because I feel if the person is not loyal to his wife than he cannot be loyal to anyone

@lilacskies I don't know if he uses it or not. But his wife should know what he is doing and breaking her trust.

@sjvg1976 You should completely cut him out of your life. Also, his wife needs to be aware of this situation. Is he even using protection? What if he gives something to his poor wife and she gets sick and doesn't even know why? Well, she will find out eventually if she does get sick and goes to the hospital to get herself checked out.

He is an adult and surely knows what is right and and what is wrong I would not interfere.

Honestly? After mentioning it to him once, I wouldn't consider it my business after that. You aren't going to change the way he thinks or acts so either leave him alone and let him be him or stay away from him completely if you can't let him be himself... It will eventually catch up with him in some way and you don't want to be caught up in his problems when it does.

I have let him live with his problems or happiness. I have now realised that I cannot change him , it's like an addiction for him and he is the only one who can leave it.

@sjvg1976 That's true. I'm glad you realize he has to mend himself, you can't do it for him.

Our President says it's OK to cheat on your Mistress. So I guess it's OK. Can you tell I am kidding?
