My Friends BF are all married men

I think my friend needs help. She claims her BF are all married men who gives her great advice. She's even made this claim about her own son, who was 15 at the time? Currently she's having issues in her marriage and is claiming her husband's father as her BF, because he gives her good advice. She's not sleeping with them, but she's very attractive and I think the married men may have another agenda. What advice should I tell her? Confused

What is the actual dilemma here?do you think she’s being exploited or is vulnerable?
You give advice to a specific problem, not to speculation
It’s not in itself problematic to have male friends, although if she has zero female friends I’d be intrigued why

Don't give her any advice unless she asks you for it.

There is no issue as far as I can see.

BF as in best friends? If so, well, so? Does a man getting married mean you have to end the friendship, or is it when they get engaged? I need to ditch a load of my friends if I need to ditch all the married men.

She calls every man who talks to her, her "best friend". She's deluded and trying to exaggerate her importance in the lives of people who likely see her as no more than an acquaintance...

They have to be married because by projecting herself into their marriage, she feels that she's getting one over the wife.

I wouldn't be friends with someone like that. She's deluded and pathetic.

Steady on Renee that’s a fierce post, are you projecting your own experiences?

ReneeRol · 15/11/2020 00:43

Sentient, it's clear from her description. I think we've all known loons like that. Why? Are you like this woman and feeling put out that people can see you?

SentientAndCognisant · 15/11/2020 00:51

Re-Read your post to me again Renee it’s somewhat risible & preposterous
Clearly this is raw and has touched a nerve, I’ll leave you to ponder that

Or alternatively you can comeback,and tell Me with your searing vision you see me for the strumpet I undoubtedly am

What’ll be Renee?

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 15/11/2020 01:46

I guess she is quite important in the lives of her FIL and son, 2 of the people she asked advice from Confused

Married adults are allowed to ask advice from other married adults as well.

Weird projection going on there Renee

SentientAndCognisant it would make my day to be called a strumpet 🤣🤣 it really isn't used enough.

Shes a grown up. I'm sure she has friends other than married men but perhaps saying these men are her best friends make her feel better about her own marriage, as if she is worthy of attention. It would be interesting to know what her marriage is like.

You seem quite paranoid, op. Even if they do fancy her it diesnt mean she is going to be talked into bed does it?
