I need my best friend to realize his girlfriend is worthless

[Smooth Operator]

This my friend falls under the General Guy Code, paragraph 62b/117:
"You can't ever criticize a friends girlfriend, never ever!
You can agree with him when he does it, but you can never do that yourself!
You can criticize her when, and only when, she becomes the hated ex, then dish it out all you want."

That's how this works mate, so you can't go near the subject, even if she would be a soul sucking demon, you haveto wait for your friend to realize it himself, otherwise you will ruin the friendship.

No matter how much you dislike her, or how little she gives in her relationship with your friend, it's not your call. As a good friend, I'd say it's important to be honest with him, and let him know how shitty you think she is, but at the end of the day, it's his relationship, his life, his choice.

How I got rid of a girl I really wanted to just go away without feeling like a dick about it?

I introduced her to a friend of mine, the kind of guy you NEVER trust your girlfriend around because he'll fuck literally anything that moves. Invited him over, then said "Jim, can you keep Audrey company while I go to work?"

Came back from work 9 hours later---Audrey had a guilty look on her face, Jim was nowhere to be found, I had my out, and to add insult to injury Jim gave her herpes. Everybody wins. Especially since the only thing worse than herpes is having a girl like that follow you around. Jim was pissed at me for dumping her on him.

Moral of the story: Find a third guy, one who will fuck anything that moves, even a foul-smelling skank like this Miranda chick, then arrange for them to meet. Hilarity (and herpes?) ensues.

everyone has a soulmate.... maybe you just don't see her good points,try to say "pss" to her XD

 

[Pegghead]

BU, BU, BROS B4 HOS...your friend an idiot or something?

In all seriousness perhaps just let him make his own choice and if you really, truly think it can't lead to anything good then subtly let it end on his own terms (like...try asking him where he sees himself in the next five years).

 

[Treefingers]

Probably just get over yourself.

 

[superbatranger]

If you tell him, tell him in a way that doesn't make him feel like you're deliberately attacking his relationship. He has to come to the conclusion that his girlfriend is not right for him on his own free will.

Let me tell another tl;dr story.

My uncle swung around his dick plenty of times in his youth. One day a girl he didn't think of much than a fuck buddy decided to trick him into getting her pregnant (birthday with birth control minus the birth control maybe? I dunno but shit gets weird when people get horny and drunk.) She then broke the news to him, knowing he's against abortion. It came down to "Abortion" or "Marry me" and so he chose to marry. 20 years later, he finally managed to divorce her at the expense of his daughter's love. Now, in his mid 40s, he's finding the single life pretty depressing.

Is it so wrong to not want this happening to my friend? I think it'd be too late when sex is entered into the equation. But right now, I know they haven't done the dirty.

I'm bending towards that Bro-Sit-Down and telling him what I think. And then by the time she actually moves in, he's had plenty of time to mull it over. I'm willing to throw away friendship if it means he has a better chance of realizing what a huge mistake this is.

And maybe I didn't make it seem like a big deal but this goes beyond me and him being friends. This to ensuring his life isn't a living hell. Perhaps, in time, (if shit does go sour) we can be friends again. But I'm not the kind of guy to just watch a man throw a piece of his soul away.

To all you people saying it isn't my business, that its his life, that he needs to fuck up on his own; thats assuming my opinion doesn't matter. Maybe you guys don't have real friends but you don't just let this happen. You have to step in, give you 2 cents, and see how it unfolds. At least I could say I tried.

I agree man.. I have a friend whose girlfriend has come onto me numerous times, but despite this he is still with her. I wish he would leave her and I have voiced my complaints.. But they are still together and I cant change that..

But you cant just let him throw his life away.

have you tried telling him in a musical number?

That sounds like a great idea!

I wrote you a little ditty, I hope it helps. (Sorry for the tinniness, I didn't exactly take my time. Ha ha)

You can't really do anything about it.

 

[MelziGurl]

You think she's worthless, he thinks otherwise. May as well deal with it, maybe he'll see things your way with time but not right now, nor is it your place to make him see it that way. If one of my best friends went out of their way to damage any of my relationships for personal gain (which is what your situation sounds like) they would live to regret it. Be there for him, but don't get involved it leads to fucked up results.

honestly id just find another friend with a job and move out. when she moves in and wont pay bills or get a job he will get it.

 

[WestMountain]

Get her to fall in love with you discretely and if she makes a move on you tell your friend about it.

 

[Elf Defiler Korgan]

Fantastic description, you've got talent.

This is actually the best advice here if you want them to break up w/o harming your friendship.

If he asks why you are moving out, just tell him you can't handle 3 people in the place at once. You thought you would be able to, but when she was staying over the place "just felt too crowded" or something. As long as you don't say it's because you hate his GF you'll be fine.

Not to mention, I think the above plan is the only way you'll be able to save the friendship. If you three live together for too long you'll undoubtedly snap at some point and say something you wish you didn't.

But how do I do it without destroying our friendship?

How 'bout you speak your damn mind and deal with the consequences.

 

[DJDarque]

I say keep your mouth shut on the subject unless he seriously wants your opinion. People tend to dislike when other people give them life advice, especially when it's not asked for.

 

[SwagLordYoloson]

If he is your room mate and she wants to move in, you get a say in the matter, just tell your friend that after deep consideration on the matter you decline, tell him that you do not wish to have a girl living in your apartment. If he is truly your friend he will respect and accept your wishes, after all you could just leave him to rent the place out with out a friend but a "sleazy whore".
