for all the freedom found in just_friends, i still can't tell him that he is in an abusive relationship, sally and montel and oprah all agree, nice most of the time doesn't excuse the outbursts, that it will never end.
"just stop," he told me, when i wanted to quit smoking. i want to tell him the same, to show him what she does through outside eyes, but i can't. he has to see it for himself.
and i'll do everything i can to be there when he does, if he does.

if you are his friend why isn't it your place to tell him that?

i am too recently become just_a_friend (two days ago), and for the sole reason that i could no longer be that close to him while he took her toxicity into himself.
in time, perhaps less than i should give it, i will press more on these points. meanwhile, i am not the only one who flees her presence, who reminds him that this is unhealthy for both he_and_she, that watch like hawks for the moment he is ready to begin healing.
"i told her that one more outburst will end our friendship," he said, denying that the same promise was made six months ago, though even my cracked memory recalls that it was.
it is out of my hands, just beyond twitching fingertips. "the waiting is the hardest part."

To tell them I know where they'll be in less than five years and that's why I don't pry or counsel but instead keep my hands open
I can catch too

i know what you mean dear. the devil's advocate in me popped out. i lost a very dear friend in the past year because of his relationship. it isn't toxic, but he has changed in unflattering ways (or maybe it is toxic, *shrugs*) but i can't tell him i think his girlfriend is making him mean and sarcastic and bitter. partially cause i was in_love with him and it feels...eh. i think you know how it feels. i drank way too much last night and stayed up way too late and now i have to work. i need to go back to beer. gin is killing me.
