Re: How to help a friend see the light and move onto from a painful past?
They were introduced awhile back…like two years earlier maybe, but it was just as coworkers. They have been “together” maybe a year or so. The guy’s parents are in Pakistan, hence the delay in the meeting of parents. Thing is, she and everyone else (including me) only knows as much about the guy as what we have heard from him. We don’t know anyone else from his past (like back in Pak), so there is no way to verify any of what he has told anyone. Also, I personally would be hugely turned off by a guy who hid such a big piece of information from me.
But as Xtron mentioned, she is way too attached to him at this point and that is clouding her judgment for sure. It doesn’t help that he keeps messaging her that he got into an accident or losing hair or what not. I just don’t know what I can say or do to save her. She almost got into an accident when his parents returned back after the meeting. She has started looking like a patient and someone who is really miserable. Her mother approached me recently and asked me to talk some sense into her, as her parents are really worried about her. But I find nothing I say is working on her. She just keeps crying and saying, none of you know him well, he really cares about me etc.
Please pray for her and if someone has seen anyone go through something similar, please share what course of action works best in this situation.
Thank you, all.
