I am the 20 year old guy who asked the question about his bestfriend. I just want to clarify, the reason things didn’t work out with the other girl was because she got to where she hardly ever talked to me or had anything to do with me. Everytime I tried to talk to her about it she would misunderstand me and get upset. I tried everything I could to save the relationship, but she left me anyway.
Mark: I would like to say that sometimes when you are dating someone, they only show the side of them that they show “outside” people. When you marry them, you become someone on the “inside” and they act completely different. The day after the wedding, I moved in with my husband and he was like a different person. It really scarred me. To this day, 18 years later, he acts SO different around other people than he does around us. He really conned me into thinking that he was this great guy. These types of people exist. They are called Narcissists. He shows the outside world that he is a hero to be admired but at home he is completely the opposite: hyper sensitive, verbally, emotionally abusive, withdrawn, defensive, entitled, etc. He is now on medication to calm him down. My life totally changed when I married him. There is the ME before and the ME after. The bottom line is that I do think you can ask all the right questions but in the end, it’s really true how you never know someone until you live with them.
I do computer investigations. From time to time, once a year or so, I have a porn incident to investigate. I hate it. It is a temptation. But temptation is not sin. And it is part of my job.
I think that the young man shows incredible maturity in looking at his limitations. If he feels that he shouldn’t do any more, then he should follow what he believes. He should feel no shame. Some of what he has done to this point has probably benefitted some people already. It is good to know when to stop. It is a sign of maturity.
