Best Friend (34) Dating An Ex-Con (55) -- Help!
Hello love forumers it's been awhile! But I need serious help. My very best friend in the world (we've been friends since we were 6) is dating a man 21 years her senior, who lives with his mother, and was in prison for 10 years, she still doesn't know why, he won't tell her.
Oh and forgot to mention, he is still married, but separated for 15 years, which he lied to her about, telling her he had never been married! She only found out because he inadvertently let something slip and she questioned him and he finally admitted.
It's been three months and she insists he is the love of her life! And wants to marry him! He doesn't even have a good paying job which is why he still lives with his elderly mum.
Before she met him, she was a huge multi-dater for years!! Huge Tinder queen. Lots of hook ups, dates never leading anywhere which seemed fine with her.
I have tried to have an open mind but I do not trust this new guy. The lying about never being married, telling her he will take steps to get legally separated and divorced but so far nothing!
I don't think he's using her as she lives a very modest lifestyle, paycheck to paycheck and has two young kids.
But she claims she is madly in love, more in love than she has ever been, but my lawd there are so many red flags!
So far I have been supportive, except for telling her she should tread carefully, which of course she's not she is falling deeper and deeper.
Not to sound shallow but he is not even good looking, looks like he could be her father.
Can yiu give me some solid advice how to handle this situation? Continue keeping my mouth shut? It's so hard, she is like a sister to me, friends since we were 6!
Thank you all in advance!
