I don't post here much, but I want to say you are doing the right thing here...stand up for yourself. I made the fatal mistake with ex-bf of acting like nothing, hoping all would be OK in the end if I just acted as if, and that did not work. He walked and that was that. He for sure got the easy way out. If she is going to leave, she would have done it anyway, irregardless of how you handled it. But you are right, the "ooey" feelings in her head won't last forever...she is in la-la land right now. As we all know, those feelings are great, but once you are in relationship, if you can't count on true companionship, loyalty, and truly "like" someone, it never lasts. The financial end of it will be a *real* eye-opener. This sitch is just not even realistic...the age difference and him living at home? Personally, I wouldn't give this guy a second glance...she will come to terms with this eventually. Good luck and hang in there...
