So, if you didn't already read the previous post now is your time to do so, I'll allow a 5 min recess for reading catch-up over here.
Welcome back...
Following an hour or so of instant emails between myself and Bex (productivity at work took a bit of a bashing this day!) I laid down my true thoughts on the issue. I tend not to get straight to the point for fear of upsetting my friends. But to be quite honest I was getting a bit annoyed that the amazing Miss Bex couldn't see she was being taken for a ride! I know there is a massive difference between giving advice and taking it, but come on, your bf is advertising his sexual services on Gumtree (hello? Gumtree = international - the boy's going global here, it's not just the local newspaper!).
I'll break it down for you - this is what I said to Bex:
1 He's hit you, lied to you, cheated on you, finished with you, got bored with you, used you and stolen from you.
As if number 1 wasn't enough of a reason I thought I would push it home with number 2...
2 STDs are a massive possibility. if he's low enough to advertise his services (at her flat I'd like to add!) he must have some kind of nasty dirty disease - maybe even a plethora (I love that word!)
So, Bex totally took my points and made all the right noises at the right times. She even said "right, that's it, I can't take it any more...it's over!".
Yes, you clever reader, you totally guessed it! She lied!
Apparently it was his friends who set it up as a joke (er...the words "yeah" and "right" spring suddenly to mind!), I'm sure he used the words "sorry" and "I love you" in his many excuses, but sorry sweetheart, sorry doesn't cut it sometimes!
And, guess what, he's trapped her as well now because he booked them a tripped to Las Vegas and it's not for 6 months - who's going to turn down an all expenses paid trip??
I'm struggling to understand! If someone disrespects you so much how can you possibly go back for more! She keeps emailing me now telling me how well things are going and how great he's being.
Is it bad for me to be thinking that I really cannot be bothered to reply (obviously I reply with "that's great" and "I'm really pleased he's being nice")?

I hope Bex doesnt get herpes.
Some people just can't be helped. They have to fall to the ground just to learn. Let it be.
holy crap - what a d-bag!
Sounds like your friend's a bit of a drama addict. Ask yourself (or her) the following questions:
Did her parents have a pretty dramatic relationship when she was growing up?
Has she ever been attracted to or seriously interested in a guy who was basically nice to her?
I'm guessing the answers are 'yes' and 'no' in that order.
Seriouly, I don't know the girl, but I know you can't change people who don't want to change.
Good luck!
(love your blog design btw).
Can't wait for the next installment.
Something tells me that Bex is not going to get the kind of holiday she wants - ladies are plenty over there, she might have a lot of competition. Bless her

@ Matt - You may have hit upon something there! x
@ Cheryl - I agree, it's difficult to give some people any kind of advice even if they ask for it! x
@ Cavy - I totally agree, I actually want to post a photo of him so you can grasp the whole picture...hmm...but I could get into trouble. x
@ Overdue - you're right about the first one, but I'm not sure about the second. I don't think I could handle all the drama! Thanks re blog design! x
@ Serena - You could be right, I'd be pretty amazed if they made it that far though!! x
