[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am in my 50s and have no example of any one ever being "set straight" by a friend. That honestly happens?  Someone tells their friend why they think something they are doing won't work, and that friends changes course? If she asks your opinion, that's different, but to think that you have the power to make her disengage with this guy is, I think, misguided. [/b]

I like the suggestion to tell her to freeze her eggs, as a just in case. Otherwise, just be there for her when things end in disaster, as you predict.  If you are right, this guy is going to dump her sooner rather than later anyway.  [/quote]

Once a very close friend said that I had “read her the riot act” about having kids before she decided to go ahead and have kids.  I honestly just remember making an off-hand comment about it- she was in her mid 30s and I had both of my children earlier, she expressed apprehension and I told her she was old enough to be a parent and would be a good parent.  I’m pretty sensitive to the issue as so many people in my family have fertility issues.  Sometimes something a friend says makes a difference.[/quote]
