I dated a count for a little over a year, and I wish someone had spoken up. Found out after we broke up that everyone hated her.

I was like, "shite guys, y'all could've told me." No biggie. I upgraded like a motherfricker.

No. You tell them.

I did it. My friend was not happy with me, and it hurt our relationship a bit. But he ended up calling off the wedding, and it was the right decision. She was a total count that literally everyone hated, and he couldn't see it until he stepped back a bit.

Now he's happy as can be.

Ok, then my advice is that it probably won't end well for your friendship no matter what you do. If you confront her, she will blame the messenger and If she marries him, you won't want to hang out with them anyway.

I told a great friend who was marrying his knocked up GF that the baby probably wasn't his and it ruined our friendship. He married her and after their divorce, she came clean that the kid wasn't his. I was right, but being right had a cost that I regret.

Had a friend that was with someone and I saw that person cheating on her and told her and she sided with him and got mad at me for trying to break them up. Lesson learned: mind your own damn business.

You don't have to harp on it either. Just mention it once or twice and if they don't listen, let it go

A friend of mine was dating a drugged out skank. I knew saying something to him meant that the friendship would probably end, but I thought it was worth it.

When they broke up, he and I started being friends again. He died a year or so later. I'm so glad I spoke up and that we made up.

As a general rule, I stay out of this stuff, so it was something quite serious for me to speak up.

Yes. My buddy and I tried to save our Friend Darren Silverman. It took a while and it was rough, but in the end Neil Diamond showed him the light.

Yep. Who knows the reasons why a friend might be attracted to a "loser?" Let them figure it out. I'm not my friend's parent.

Funny thing is she's a DZ. Crazy arse slut who's obviously still sneaking with her old boy and my friend is in denial about it.. Deny, deny, deny..
