About a year ago, a friend of mine began a FWB relationship with a 22year old single mom. He's 28. They knew each other from work. She wanted a "mentor." He bought it hook, line and sinker.

After a few months of him thinking they're casual, she starts bringing her daughter around. Next thing you know, they're going on "family" walks, having "family" dinners, and so on. Her stuff, and her daughter's, is taking up room in his place and he's casually house hunting, because "they" need more space. All his friends think its moving too fast but hey, he's happy. Maybe we're just too jaded...

Well today, this guy is being investigated for sexual harassment. About a month ago, this chick's daughter starts getting sick all the time and the walks, dinners, and sex become nonexistent. She moves out. Poor guy thinks its because he didn't find that bigger place. Well, after sleeping with this guy for a year, living with him, and allowing her daughter to see him as a male authority figure, he's all of a sudden a raging misogynist that's too personal. He's made too many enemies, he could lose his job for "taking advantage of this poor single mom."

Coincidently, a month ago a new guy started at their office. He's in his forties, never married, no kids and makes well into six figures. She's telling her friends they are in love.

This is smart independent guy but he walked into this and is still asking how he "let her slip away." Why can't the white knights see the set up?
