Got a phone call from a friend of mine who was terribly upset.
I asked her what was going on and this is what she said.
She told me that the man she has been involved with for several years had his 5oth birthday this past weekend.
So being the person that she is wanted to do something extra nice for him. So she went and made dinner reservations at a restuarant that he knew he liked to go to and bought him a very nice gift and a card.
Seems pretty harmless so far doesn’t it. When emailed her and told her that he would be coming by she anticipated his arrival and then never showed up. Mind you this is not the first time he has pulled a stunt on her. He has in the past pulled many disappearing acts and has stayed gone for extended periods of time and just shows up. This why now that he’ll resurface again and mu friend will take him back. She does it all the time.
This woman is so devastated she doesn’t even know which way is up.
The sad part about this whole thing is that he knows he messed up by not coming to see her when he said he would and that my girlfriend is highly upset with him. That it will only be a matter of time before he contacts her aagain with some sob story and knowing her she’ll forgive him and resume program.
Can someone help me with any suggestion on how to help my friend?
