It would be a shame to repeat the same omission you did with your other friend that resulted in his long running failed relationship.<BR/><BR/>Let him know what you think, what your point of view is, ask him his, have a discussion. Someone who does not share their concerns about a friends possible missteps, is not as good a friends as they could be. Not getting feedback from those who know us and care about us is being short shrifted.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943867226010869367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198998738535656188.post-60144089516116647942008-03-15T16:03:00.000-04:002008-03-15T16:03:00.000-04:00SF,You don't say if Buddy took your advice and how...SF,<BR/>You don't say if Buddy took your advice and how it worked out if he did...not that that's relevant to the new friend. <BR/><BR/>You don't say what "new friend" is about to do that makes you want to intercede, but if you have that strong of feelings, by all means speak up. You may see something they don't see.<BR/><BR/>I lost several very good friends in a former life because they knew my boy friend was cheating on me when i thought we were in an exclusive relationship, but they were protecting my feelings by not telling me. Well, it came out that they knew and as hard as i tried to see it from their point of view...i felt doubly betrayed...so think before you keep silent when you think someone needs to know something..<BR/><BR/>For me i try to use the golden rule...how would i feel in the same situation reversed...my hair cut sucks...nope, don't need to know that...spinach in teeth..yep..help a girl out...<BR/><BR/>~nikMJ's Slavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121376467098022900noreply@blogger.com
