He got together back in February of this year when we were still in high school and their relationship has become a complete train wreck.

[00:01:43] Mark was and still is head over heels for Leia.

[00:01:47] He has told me what my other friends and Mark have been telling me because I was in another state for college. Mark has been arguing a lot with Leia about Derek and she has threatened to leave Mark if he doesn't just simply accept her for who she is. He did. Not only that, he and Leia have entered what he calls a semi-open

[00:03:01] relationship. This means according to Mark that Leia was a lost cause and I wasn't going to fight some people I'd never seen for her. Mark started begging me so that Leia is the love of his life and that he needs my help. I refused again. He then says he'll go on his own but I told him that he probably shouldn't. I woke up Sunday morning to more than 300 messages on my phone from Mark and all of our friends.

[00:04:23] Long story short, Mark went over to Derek's and to leave that woman alone. She does not want him, she only wants his money apparently.

[00:05:44] Opie quotes that and says he won't because she told him she doesn't want that. The fight around trying to beat people up, et cetera, et cetera. But there's something not quite right in his head at this moment in time to be allowing this. And I do wonder if sitting him down it might not make any difference whatsoever, but sitting him down as a group with all your friends and being totally blunt and honest and open with him and saying, you know, you can see everyone's concerned

[00:07:01] that we all really care for you

[00:07:02] and we're concerned about what this person is doing to you.

[00:07:05] They're using you emotionally, physically

[00:07:07] and monetarily as well. emotional support, but she does not love you. You do not treat someone you love this way. You need to see a therapist to work through the emotional abuse she is putting you through. If you don't, we can't continue to be people who support you and let you vent about this. PFXBAM says, man, I don't get how anyone could possibly be a mark. I mean, my partner

[00:08:20] is great, but if I found out she was cheating and it even insisted that I didn't have to apologise for how I spoke last time. He told us that Derek ended up dumping Leia a few days after the fight. Apparently he asked Leia to dump Mark, she refused and they argued. I'll spare you most of it. The conversation ended with Leia being kicked out of his apartment

[00:09:40] in the middle of the night and Mark had to come pick her up. He says that in the future, he doesn't want us to say anything about Leia unless it's the absolute truth, his speech of singing her praises. My other friends and I are all left pretty stunned and I'm thinking that at this stage, I'll slowly be removing myself from Mark's life. It's sucked since I've known him for a long time and do enjoy his company,

[00:11:01] but I don't think I'll be able to remain friends with him in good faith if I'm not able to speak he says if his parents try anything, he'd go no contact with them. He told us that between his parents, dad and stepmom and Leia, he's choosing Leia. It really does suck, and I feel like it's extremely unfair to them. And that was OP's last post on the matter. As you can imagine, a lot of comments saying Mordor, Matt, you know, same pet, etc.

[00:12:22] Some people that say that some people can't be saved unless they sort of accept that help. easy to assemble modular sofas and sectionals are made from premium durable materials, including stain and scratch resistant fabrics.

[00:13:40] slash a cast. When you're ready to pop the mate in the world and I want him to be happy. Though we live in a city that is close to some beautiful hills. Sometimes we go for drives in those hills. There is a little town that my fiance loves even though he has never actually stayed there. It is his birthday next Friday so I decided to take him on a mini holiday to that town.

[00:15:00] I found a cute hotel and researched and organized some activities that I know he'll love.

[00:15:05] We stay from Friday to Monday. They said that it's only fair that I should have remembered that they might want to do something, and that most of them have known him for longer than I do. I feel like I shouldn't have to ask for permission to take my fiance on a trip on his birthday, but maybe it's a faux pas. Someone asks for info and says, is your fiance the first in his crowd to get married? Because I'm guessing yes. And that his friends are pissed, and so they're claiming him, like you are Yoko breaking up

[00:16:22] the band.

[00:16:23] It will not be over.

[00:16:24] Watch out. Now putting myself in the friend situation, I've definitely been talking to the fiance first and just asking, you know, if you've got anything planned for that day, because me and the lads, we got a surprise for him and we wanted to keep it a surprise as well. And then if she said, no, I've got a surprise from that day, she tried to compromise as well. She said, how about the Thursday? And it was like, no, we've known him longer, blah, blah, blah, lads, lads, lads.

[00:17:44] I can't blame you for your reaction on this one. solution. Happy birthday, you're going to decide which people you will disappoint." So OP did come in with an update and said, so some of you asked for an update, so I shall deliver. First things first, the surprise wasn't ruined. We got to go and my fiance loved it. I followed your advice and told him that I had something planned that clashed

[00:19:01] with the plans his mates made, and they're both hoping to be able to move past this rather unpleasant experience. That's all guys, take care. Good supportive partner, telling the boys what's up apart from one of them who, I got a little feeling obviously I don't know, he may be the instigator of the bunch,
