i have a friend. Here’s some brief info on her: 36 years old, 2 daughters from previous relationships, makes six figures, just bought a big ass house last year, slim, attractive, nice girl, immature though imo(you’ll see why below), Christian, is submissive in relationships.

Here’s some brief info on the guy: he’s in his mid forties, has 4 kids, lives in an apartment, is working a couple of manual labor jobs to make ends meet—he doesn’t have a degree or trade, so he’s been struggling lately with finances, is nice and hardworking, I guess traditional, and he’s :flabbynsick:.

Situation: they were in a relationship for a year. The entire year they broke up three times. It was always her dumping him. The last break up they had, they took a 3 month break from each other. she realized she loved him, etc.

He recently came back in the picture. She said they are going to take it slow. But already they are talking about him moving into her house with her. She even talked to her two daughters about it.:mindblown:

She said she would write out a lease for him to protect him in case she dumps him again, that way he isn’t ass out. :mindblown:

I asked if they would be splitting the house payment. She lied and said he was going to pay for everything. I know she lied, because earlier she said that he is barely making ends meet with his apartment situation, and that it’s hard because he doesn’t have a degree. So I know he won’t be paying for everything like she said.

Now she asked me and my group of friends what we thought... Everyone was on board with her plan. One even said, “maybe he can go to college so he can make more money....”

And I’m not saying that’s a bad idea in theory, but i feel like it’s dumb to be entertaining this with her. Like first y’all need to actually manage to stay together long enough for that to take place smh.

I told her I thought the whole situation was stupid asf. Why would she move the man she broke up with three times, into the house she shares with her two daughters?(one of them is 15) that’s not a good look.

she says he treats her good... as if that makes up for everything else.

So my question is it just me or is she dumb asf? All of my friends are on her side and I don’t get it...

she’s talking about they’re taking it slow this time—but they fukked already, and are talking about him moving in already. That’s not slow.

She’s mad at me for not supporting her on this.

Trust me, I wish this was a lie. I went out with her and some of my friends last night(they were taking me out because there was a death in my family) and she told us that her and the dude reconnected over the weekend. Believe it or not, this is real.

The situation and my friends’ responses to it, has led me to draw the conclusion that I need some different friends. :jbhmm:

i'd have to ask what type of life is she living & men she's surrounding herself with where basic things like nice treatment is so rare that a man giving it to her is enough to become his sugar mama

Tell her to be his friend cuz that is all he sounds fit to be. he might aspire to be traditional and have some traits that are typical of traditional men, but he is not traditional. Her concern shouldn't be protecting him but protecting herself & daughters.

a submissive woman can't just go around making any dude her man. this man is unfit to lead himself let alone others.

She's dumb, but you cant influence her when she's already made up her mind. It's her money and time, if she wants to trick off let her do it. Pickings are slim and he must be providing something she thinks she needs.

I've had multiple friends over the years who i just learned to hit the :ehh:wherever their man I think is trash comes up. I'm just prepared to offer support when it comes tumbling down and 1 girl i had to cut the friendship because she wouldn't stop dealing with an alcoholic AND wanted to discuss him every second. I had helped her through her divorce the previous year, and I was just done.

Thank you everyone for the input. She has a history of getting involved in these type of relationships. I think she likes men that have less than her, and is destructive in relationships. I guess I just thought that a grown woman would start moving differently. She has two impressionable daughters that are watching her. *sigh*

She's dumb but honestly it sounds like she likes "being in control" since she's the breadwinner, moving him in with her and puts up with his shortcomings simply because he treats her well. He probably needs a woman like her and will struggle to do better, so he will probably be loyal and that might be all she wants. Them living together will either bring them together or let them find out they won't work, so they won't have to waste another year with each other.


Its a bad idea for two stable people, but neither sounds very stable so it might be what they need... :yeshrug:
