Had a long phone call with my best friend of 25 years this evening. I just do not know how to handle this or what to say to her but I feel I have to say something.
Bf met a man who she briefly knew online. He's been seperated from his ex wife for around 5 years. The reason for their separation is that he cheated on her with a prostitute and was then charged with raping the prostitute. This went to court and he wasn't convicted. She believes him 100% that he is not guilty. Between the split from the ex wife and the rape trial he meets another woman and gets her pregnant. He also develops a cocaine addiction which he is still battling with and was also made bankrupt.
I asked her what it was about him that she found so attractive and she said he's funny, handsome and knows deep down that he's a good guy and deserves to be happy. I'm honestly aghast. One of these things about him would have me running for the hills never mind all of them. She has children and genuinely seems smitten by him. How do I deal with this, I just cannot see how this is going to end happily and am so worried for her. Or am I being too judgemental?
