Should I throw the life preserver?

I have friends who are in situations like this with their women(oneitis). One friend in our group is engaged to this girl and all of his guy friends including me hate her.

You cannot help them. The only time you can is when shit goes down (divorce/breakup) to pull him out of it.

I wouldn't refer them here first, try briffault's law as it is backed more by science, if he has questions then take him further. You can show him the door, but he must be the one to walk through it.

I would throw it because fuck it. He has no reason to think you're trying to screw him over and you might help the guy make a good choice. What's the worst thing that can happen to you by sending him that TRM article?

If a dude sent me that without me being aware I would be like damn maybe I am a sucker. I might not follow through with the advice, but it would definitely have planted a seed in my head.

And he's considering proposing marriage after six months or so

Talk about YOURSELF.

"Mannnn I could never get married... I've seen too many of my friends getting shafted in the divorce.... every woman I know changes as soon as she's married.... they shut their legs and open their mouths... I have no idea what marriage does to them, but it puts every one of them right off sex.... every girl I know has promised endless sex after they're married... and they always get bored within a year or two.... no way I'm subjecting myself to that"

You can't say shit. Abandon.

See if you can get stuff out of it. Maybe the new wife won't want him to own cool stuff and you can get it for free or discounted. Think of it like an estate sale that no one else knows about

Out of curiosity, is he "special" or "differently-abled" or whatever they call retarded these days?
