Would you tell your friend if his significant other is going to destroy him?

I have a long time friend who been dating this woman for over a year. They are talking about engagement and proposals but recently I over heard her taking at a party about their relationship.

Basically she said she was settling with him and would prefer an older rich guy but had to accept what she had. She doesn’t want to work and prefers to be taken care of. Meanwhile my friend is working his arse off paying all the bills and she shames him for not making enough. He’s a really great guy, one of the nicest most genuine people I’ve ever known. I usually stay out of other people relationships and I’m sure she told him this but should I talk to him about it? My feelings in no but my wife tells me I should.

I had a buddy that was dating a girl that was TD famous on here for being a whore (Prop Stop) and I am sure he saw the thread with her in it...he married her anyway and then divorced a few years later so sometimes it's just best to let them find out on their own.

first of all..

pics of this chick.

And, stay out of it. You're not going to convince your friend to give her up based on something you overheard. Just cause problems between you 2.

You gotta talk to him if he’s a good friend. At the same time, the consequences could be severe for y’all’s friendship

"Hey, guys, if your girlfriend totally loves you, take one step forward."

"Uh, not so fast there, Ralph."

If they were already married, I would say stay out if it, but since he is not I would tell him, especially if he was a close friend. I know a guy who is married, and although I don't think the wife is taking advantage of him, she is and wants to be a well-kept wife. He is not happy in my opinion and may hate his life. Do you want your friend to be stuck in that shite for years and possibly pay for it for the rest of his life?

Edit: it would be one thing if you heard that statement as rumors, but you're saying you heard it firsthand and know that bitch said it. If he gets upset with you for being honest with him well, the dude deserves to be stuck with her.

I would tell him depending on your relationship with him. If it's someone I care about I'm telling but if it's just a regular arse friend he can deal with his own problems like a man.

Why would you not tell him? After she destroys your friend's life, will you tell him then? "Sorry, dude, I knew she was a gold-digging whore out to ruin you, but I didn't want to make a big deal about it." When you tell him and he ignores it, your job is done until "I told you so."

Sure. You've just got to be prepared for him to cut you off. If you really think she's bad news, is a 10% chance of saving your friend grief worth a 50-75% chance of materially altering your friendship, at least for a while?

Up to you

In what way was it better for him to find that out on his own (and waste the years and heartache)?


I would simply tell the friend what I overheard and let him make his own judgement on it.

I’m sorry some of us have actually lives and friends. I know you sitting alone in your apartment can’t understand that.

maybe he needs someone on his arse to reach his full potential. maybe he would slack and only do enough to just get by otherwise.

Yes. Absolutely

It is even worth risking your friendship to try to save him.

There is an epidemic of these gals. I know several guys who have been left nearly destitute.

Normally I’d say stay out of it but if you heard something this directly and detailed I’d probably have to say something, but be very careful how you do so.
