Ok, just you, me and all the BBers that have read the thread... 😉
Seriously, do you think she's got the message that this guy and others like him are poison? Ok, here's another boring old guy story: tell your sis that if she keeps it up, she could be the girl in the story...
A couple of years ago, just before a significant high school reunion, I got an interesting phone call on a Friday night. I answered the phone, and a woman's voice said "I thought that this would be you! It's me, Julie!" She was a girl I had dated for about a year during grades 10 and 11. She was funny, smart and gorgeous, and I was lucky to have her, or so I thought. She abruptly dumped me just before the formal, and started dating the local tough-guy/shady character/drug dealer. I asked her why, and she said that I was "Too predictable...and much to conservative...[she]
want[ed] to live on the edge..." I was busted up for a while, but in my last year I met another girl who LIKED conservative and stable. She was beautiful, funny and smart...the future Mrs. Dwarf! Anyway, Julie and I talked, and Mrs. Dwarf sat and listened. Eventually I asked why she had called. She told me she wanted to see me again, and that she was available tomorrow night. I said that I'd ask Mrs. Dwarf. Her reply was "I was hoping to see just you..." I was stunned. I said, "I think you know what my answer is". She said "Yeah, but I had to ask." I asked what had happened to tough guy, whom I knew she had married. Her answer was, "living on the edge with dangerous guys is fine for a bit, but it gets old when things get rough...and he got rough when things got old...stability looks really good when you don't have any". I pointed out to her that if I had said yes to meeting her without Mrs. D, I wouldn't be as stable as she thought. She said it was better than living with a druggie psycho. I said "Don' t bother to call again" and hung up. If your sis doesn't learn early to identify and avoid psychos, she could end up like my ex-beau, with years of abuse and regret to show for it...or worse! Get her the book, and read it yourself if you get a chance...if she won't read it you could try to teach her what she needs to know!
This is a better way to go than nailing this loser in the head...you can prevent it from happening again, and you won't get in trouble yourself. I hope my story wasn't totally inappropriate and that it fits to show what the future could be if you don't learn quick what is dangerous.
I'm almost ready to sign off for the weekend, but I'll chec in Monday...stay cool, Mike, and take care!
