Re: The right thing to do

[ Edited ]

I tried to be a true friend several years ago to a very special longtime friend.  Told her not to marry this guy.  She knew him 3 months.  Family devastated, but had hoped she found love again.  Well, that lasted about 15 months, only after he drained her bank account and put her far in debt, divorced her.  She has since remarried a third time.  I hope three’s a charm for her.  

 

You see this kind of stuff on Dr. Phil constantly.  I just don’t get it.  

Sometimes you just can’t get through to someone that thinks they are in love.  It’s very sad.

It appears you are referring to the TV show 90 day Fiance'  I saw the preview of that episode where she told her friends she was flying to his country to ask him to marry her and they discouraged it so she got up and walked out of the restaurant quite upset with them. I think they had her well being in mind  but it's her decision to make. Her adult son has voiced his concern about the relationship in previous episodes. The guy she is looking to marry was in a previous relationship with another older woman and I believe they ended up divorcing

That's the same couple who came to mind for me.   She's a fool but, like others have said, when somebody gets their mind set there is no amount of reason that will snap them out of it.

 

Sadly, there will be some degree of crash and burn, whether it be emotional or financial (or both).

"I'd like opinions on this:"

 

@BoopOMatic 

 

My opinion. If asked I would tell them very directly in words they understand. From there it is up to them to make their own decision. What happens after that is out of my hands.

 

E.T.A.  I somehow missed this was a TV show, DUH!  Same opinion however. Had I seen the "TV show part"?  Went past this.

This is a reality show. It is scripted to keep you watching. Watch it for fun but don't take it seriously.
