I know my friend is capable of making her own decisions, but even I am shocked about this one. I'll refer to her as Mags. Mags has been talking to this guy (who is a part of the same friend group and related to one friend) for almost 6 months now. Before that, she was in a long-term relationship and everyone thought she'd marry the guy.
The guy she's been talking to moved and is now kind of stuck there because he can't afford to get his own place. It's even worse because his job is nowhere near where he lives. She has told him he should've known better, especially with the World Cup coming to our city. Everyone has known this since last year, especially in our group because we talk about it.
He asked her to get a place with him. They've only been official for 2 months now. She said yes. That's the crazy part. With her ex, she was going to wait until they were married. Now it's a whole switch up. All of our other friends thinks it's a mistake. Her younger sister is taking it the worst, and you can tell it's beating Mags up. The guy says she has a codependent relationship with her sister, and that this is harming both Mags and her sister. But you can also say that Mags moving in with him so early could harm her, mentally and financially. It's also not her job to fix his living situation.
I told her that she might be thinking too far ahead, but she says it could work. On the other hand, she'll have to pay rent on a place that she might not even live in a few months down the road. She didn't like that response. Life isn't a romcom, like she hopes it is. Am I overreacting or should I let her be? She's wonderful and can't see her ruin her life...over a man who doesn't have it together.
