Monthly Insight:
Professional Op-ed
Dating Intervention
Question:
Dear Rosie and Sherry,
My friend Brian is in an unhealthy relationship. His girlfriend is controlling and possessive; she won't allow him to talk to me anymore because she says I "flirt" with him (Brian and I have been friends for the last 10 years and are just friends), and she is constantly getting angry at him. She tells him he cannot hang out with his friends anymore on the weekends and when she and Brian are amongst a group of people, she does not allow other people to talk to him.
Among other things, many of Brian's friends have noticed this behavior and have voiced concern to him. He admits he is in an unhealthy relationship, yet he doesn't believe he will be able to find anyone else who will love him. I heard recently that they are planning on getting engaged. On one hand, I care deeply about my friend, but on the other hand I realize that it is his choice what to do with his life. Should I just be happy for them? At a certain point is this none of my business?
