My friend has an ex who was as nice as pie most of the time but had his dark, controlling moments. This is why she split from him. Last Thursday she rang him late (she hadnt been in touch with him for weeks) and he was in a very bad way said he had been planning his exit for weeks and that he had taken 35 tablets. She rang me and woke me up, she didnt know what to do and couldnt remember his address. I couldnt ignore it, could I? I had his friends (my exes, and not a nice one) phone number. I text and asked him to go around to this mans house as he was in a bad way.
I never heard anything from either of the blokes again and both me and my friend wondered if we had done the right thing? was I interfering? I know its stupid but i thought someone might have text the next day to say thanks, everythings ok. They never though.
Now my poor friend, has this guy ringing her at all hours telling her thanks, she saved his life!! and she doesnt know how to deal with it!!
How do you know whether these situations are genuine or not? as far as Im aware he's been out with his boyfriends drinking all week, said he never realised he had so many friends. I dont think drinking is the answer though.
I feel ive got my friend involved with something she could do without tbh. Hes clearly not going to get professional help.
