Friend lives 300 miles away so can’t pop and see her.
In February she met a men on the internet. Within days she is posting lives up snaps - saying both of them are totally smitten and he’s the love of her life. Daily dog walks - he meets her older kids and it’s daily Facebook shots of them all loved up. Hundreds of people liking it from both of them and their respective friends. A week ago she posts ‘my heart broke at work today thank you to my colleagues who stopped me falling apart, life is full of despair right down my heart is in pieces’
Everyone is posting sending love and asking what is going on - no answers. I ring her it goes unanswered - I message her privately no answer and then she responds publicly on SM saying ‘toughest day ever off to bed’ - I’m worried as are others.
The next day she texts me to say her and this Paul were fine Monday morning but he stopped answering texts etc during the day and then doesn’t show up to pick her up from work and he’s silent. He’s silent for 5 days and doesn’t answer he calls.
I’m like - you are 5 weeks into this relationship - you don’t know him. End it.
Tonight - loved up pictures of the two of them at an Ed Sheehan concert I’m like WFT? And she’s like we started talking again yesterday and we are back on.
To me this one sounds like one to throw back. And for her she needs some counselling and to get some self esteem - no one should either be falling so hard and so fast or getting involved so quickly and shouting it from the roof tops - it can’t be true they don’t know each other. For me it’s beyond red flags - it’s like bunting everywhere. I can see her she’s so happy go lucky and unlucky with men I can see it destroying her.
I haven’t and won’t comment further. I’ve told her she needs to step back and get herself some counselling and she deserves a man that will take time getting to know her etc
And now my mouth is shut on the matter! She’s 45.
