I told my best friend that she was making a big mistake when she started to go out with an acquaintance of my hubby's when were about to graduate high school. This guy was a liar, cheater, way too old for her, and didn't give a toss for my best friend. My friend was a virgin when she met him, and perhaps it was wrong for her to be overly proud of that fact, for Pig (not his real name, but it should have been) announced to the guys in our circle that he was going to "have" her, and he did, without alot of resistance from my friend, because she was "in love" with Pig by this time. Anyhow, make a long story short, when Pig finally moved on he got her virginity, her Martin Guitar (very nice, expensive model), her heart, and all the money she had. Pig said that he was going away to get their lives started somewhere else, but he would be back for her on her 18th birthday (just a few months away) to take her away into this glorious life he'd described. Is there anyone reading this post who will be surprised when I tell you he never came back? He broke her heart, and her taste in men only got worse as the years went on. We tried to warn her about Pig; I was very specific about what he was doing to deceive her. It put up a barrier between us that finally broke our friendship a few years later. I haven't talked to her for going on thirty years. That's my own personal story. Of course you must be honest with your friends, but you must also be prepared for the consequences that may happen. Do you love them enough?
