An acquaintance of mine is engaged to man child.

He's very well educated well-spoken and I wouldn't say a Brad Pitt but he's definitely not ugly.

However he seems to have this attitude where he needs to correct everybody ALL THE TIME and he's always right about everything...

she had told us stories where if something wasn't going right at his work or at home where he was working on something he would literally fall on the floor and have screaming fits or little spaz attacks...

Why in the hell won't this girl leave him?

She's not ugly by any means and fairly educated herself.

She does have confidence issues and since meeting this fella a fairly proper drinking problem 😑

We've tried reasoning with her, us being her friends.

She continuously says she knows and that things not being specific will eventually change...


Where do you see this relationship going?

She's 35 he's 46

🤷‍♂️ Conversation topic?

That, in my opinion, is a codependent relationship.... Not healthy...
@Soossie no her drinking is fairly heavy
Exactly.... In a codependent relationship, they need each other to blame their shortcomings on each other.... they can't leave because they need the other one to be a reason for them to keep doing their wrong doings.... @Teggy
