previously engaged
Hi. My friend was previously engaged and his fiance broke it off. Is it right to continue to allow his ex-fiance to text? When finally told no more communication after about 10 days she calls and asks for a favor. Will he go out with her. Well of course he does. What advice if any can you give to this person. I'm feeling she keeps jumping back to test the waters only to hurt him eventually once again. This is a 27 yr old guy and 23 female. The engagement broke off 5 months ago Advice anyone?

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussIf he's coming to you to discuss this, talk out his feelings, admit that he keeps getting hurt, etc. I don't think you would be out of line if you recommended he cut ties. Additionally, if he straight up asks you for advice, that's an in for you to put it out there. If he's not doing these things or specifically seeking advice, I'd keep mum. Ultimately he is an adult and he's going to make his own choices and his own mistakes. Sometimes people need to learn the hard way. So if he keeps f'ing up and entertaining this girl, don't allow yourself to get riled up about it. It's his life, let him live it. Even if he's being a boner.
This.
Deep down he knows this is no good, but he will have to come to that conclusion on his own...
Sounds like they're not being mature about this, probably because they aren't adult enough to begin with.
He needs to end all contact with her and vice versa. No texting no emails, no calls, no contact either in person or electronically or snail-mail wise.
For the record, I agree with this, *if* he's asking for your advice.
