How do i tell my friend without dropping my daughter in it.

[Emmamc1984]

My 35 year old friend has recently started a new relationship with a much younger man. My teenage daughter recently saw him at a party and he didnt have many nice things to say about my friend and he also began making comments of a flirty nature towards my daughter. How do i tell my friend he is only using her for somewhere to stay without dropping my daughter in it as being the one who told me as it may cause bother for my daughter.

I've never understood why you wouldn't tell someone close to you information that would greatly effect them. I just would have told my friend straight, but then i read@Bookworm20 's idea and think that's perfect.

So she's 17 then. And he's 25. Hmm. I'm liking him less and less.

If I’d heard it myself I’d speak up. In this situation I’d stay quiet. It’s third hand info at this point and definitely will cause aggravation.

He will muck her around whether you say anything or not. Tell you daughter to stay away from him.
