Q: Dear Dating Girl,

I have a friend/roommate who is dating a girl that quite frankly makes him miserable. Normally I would rather take a cold shower than get involved in this type of situation in any way but a) she annoys the hell out of me and b) more importantly he keeps asking me and our other roommate for advice about what he should do. So far we have avoided being 100% up front with him about how we feel about her and the way she treats everyone. I'm sure he is going to ask what we think again here before too long and my question is should we really give him the advice he is asking for even if it is the straw that breaks the camels back and potentially causes them to stop seeing each other?

Thanks for the help!

A: If he’s asking because he’s questioning the relationship, then I would tell him the truth. If he’s asking because he wants to know if she’s annoying you, then I would tell an altered version of the truth (aka, a lie).

I know it’s easier said than done, but if he’s doubting the relationship, he may just need the extra push to get him going.

Hope that helps. Let me know!

Love the Madness,
DG
