Haha. I forgot that I posted about this. Here is the conclusion to the story...
She ended up breaking up with this guy but lost a lot of friends along the way who just didn't want anything to do with him...or her for that matter.
My friend moved through a series of bad relationships until she met a new guy. This new guy was another "winner." He was a very mean, abusive guy. He constantly told my friend that she needed to lose weight. In an act of rebellion, she ballooned up 75 pounds. She was miserable and changed a lot and lost another one of her best friends because of this guy. I didn't really see my friend's metamorphosis that much since my friend was in Florida and I was in Georgia but I had heard from people that there were a lot of weird things going on in their relationship. They eventually moved in together and things got really rocky. She had to put the house, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. under her name because he had filed for bankruptcy only a year before due to a gambling addiction....an addiction that he never bothered to get help for. He still went to the casino boats during the weekends. Then they got engaged....
I kept my feelings to myself about her new guy until this past April. I flew into Orlando for her bridal shower/bachelorette party that I both planned and paid for. He was terrible to me the whole weekend and continuously said rude and insulting things. Instead of sticking up for me, my friend laughed at his insults because she was probably happy that for once he was picking on someone else.
I was set to come in to Orlando for her wedding in June but I was getting angrier and angrier by the day. I couldn't talk to my friend on the phone w/o her fiance saying something terrible about me in the background. I lost it. I told her that I no longer wanted to ride in the car with them on our way to her rehearsal dinner because I just couldn't stand to be stuck in a car with him for more than 30 minutes. She overreacted and told me not to bother to come in for the wedding. I happily obliged.
I feel bad because she keeps getting herself into abusive relationships but she's had a lot of warnings from a few of her closest friends who she's lost along the way.
