Oh my gosh, I have tried!!! Last year she was dating this absolute loser... he was 30 years old and lived with his mom and step-dad. But he acted like a kid in regards to his step-dad, they fought daily. He had a dead-end job and he couldn't even drive because he had a DUI. Anyways, he would always make plans with my roommate and then not show up. Or he would just not answer his phone when she would call 20 times a night, and then blame it on his cell phone not working. Or his voicemail wasn't working, he didn't get voicemails. His texting wasn't working. Whatever.
Anyways, one night her and I went out together, and he was supposed to be there and he didn't show up. We honestly spent half the night in the bathroom talking and hugging and crying... I was completely honest and told her I don't like this guy, she's a wonderful person and does not need to be treated like that. I didn't want to see her keep getting hurt. And she was crying and saying she knows that deep down but she's not strong enough to let it go... she just always wanted to wait a little longer to see if he'd change, but she knew in her heart he never would.
Kyle picked me up about 5 minutes later and I felt so good about our little talk. Kyle spent the night with me (just sleeping!) and we woke up in the morning and I was telling him how I'm so glad Stacey is finally going to leave this guy. And then... squeak squeak squeak squeak from her bedroom. We both looked at each other like It was him.
He showed up about a half hour after I left, and he apologized for being late, and that was good enough for her. Our whole night of heart-to-heart, hugs, tears, meant nothing as soon as he showed up
