My friend witnessed me dating a series of losers and jerks and be hurt over and over. Now this man comes into my life and treats me like gold but he doesn't see that part, he is fixated on what happened 3 years ago.
When I asked my friend if he was sure he had the right guy he said he wasn't at first but contacted another member and confirmed it was him. I think Chilledice is on to something,there was a conflict and my friend was directly involved.
I know the wise thing would be to listen to my friend but my love interest so far has been a complete gentleman and honest and open about his recovery. I cannot dismiss him just like that.
