friend obsessed with married man?

I have a friend who is obsessed with a married man, he lives in canada and she lives in the uk. Its been going on for 6 months or so..He has a four year old daughter. He is also bipolar. He has told his wife that he is leaving her to move back to the uk but hasn't said why. This means leaving his daughter as well. he is a sahd. He's also told his wife he is going to call the police and tell them everything if she doesn't give him $5,000.(she was involved in something dodgy I think) she obviously doesn't have the cash so hell have to wait..He sounds like a complete arsehole. I am worried about my friend.

They are constantly on the phone together and hell wake her up at 5 am to talk…she likes this but it seems a bit obsessive to me. She's always saying horrible things about his wife like she's a twat…what has this poor woman done to her?

She's become quite moody and just not the person I know…I wouldn't say anything to her but I was just wondering what your ladies take was on all this…I have a feeling a man who can abandon his child and lie to his wife will sure as hell do it to her.

You can express your disapproval but after that, all you can do is watch it fall apart and if you wish, be there to help pick up the pieces. She sounds infatuated, and there is no reasoning with infatuation.

Do you think he will screw her over as well? The funny thing is he is really punching above his weight with her as she is stunning and he is a fat overly confident minter...I like to believe people change but hmmmm….

I think she is about to make a massive, massive mistake.

I doubt she'll listen to you though.

fwiw, I really don't think him ending up leaving her is the biggest potential problem in all this. In fact, that would be the part I'd be praying for, given all you've said here.

Yes, he will screw her over as well. He sounds horrible. Though I will add that having bipolar is irrelevant. Bipolar Disorder does not make you a dick.

Yeah I think theyre extremely needy for each other. I worry itll get worse...who knows if hes lying to her, he could still be sleeping with his wife for all we know. Silly little girl...
