Who are you to decide what he should or shouldn't do? That is for HIM to decide. He alone knows the whole situation and what he can or can't deal with in his life.
You really are a pompous self involved ass drkock! Why don't you continue to keep your life in neat little boxes and stop thinking people should live their lives the way you think they should.
For once I can honestly say Linda makes more sense than you do, and I respect what she has said in this thread.
I sure hope your kids are and continue to remain perfect, whatever will you do if they are flawed?
Easy for someone in your position to say.
I really don't see how deciding to deal with someone's issues or not is being pompous. Since they're no longer dating his being a good friend and supportive is cool but most chicks aren't too much into having their dude hanging out with or "Being there for her" all the time.
He could marry her make babies with the same issue for all I care. He should just be honest with himself when making the decision.
My initial post was pretty much tongue and cheek. It wasn't until Linda blurred the definitions that a serious reply was warranted. I know plenty of people who have married, had kids with, dated, banged, treated, work with, etc.. those who have depression, Bipolar, BPD, and a lot of other stuff going on. Those who stay in the situation too long eventually get burned the heck out, it's human nature.
I don't like neat boxes and no one is perfect. Not the point at all, I just know what works for me and which situations would be a poor use of time. It's a pretty simplistic thought process. A PETA person probably wouldn't date someone who loved steak.
