This 'friend' is on a break -- with a vengeance
At the very least, your girlfriend must convey to her friend that "Rand" played the field with impunity just before they met, and -- if his pattern holds true -- he will continue to be sexually active with various women now. Condoms, people!
Whatever love delusions she may harbor, however, are her business.
Presumably this friend knows that Randy Rand is moving soon. If she wants to hear some hangover lies, she can ask Rand directly.
Surely Rand realizes that because you and he room together, you have an awareness of his behavior. But you are not responsible for his behavior (or its consequences). He is.
Dear Amy: For eight months now I have been taking an 87-year-old friend to ALL of her medical appointments.
We used to work together and have stayed friends for years.
She has a daughter and granddaughter in our town who "can't" take her anywhere because they work. I am essentially her Uber.
Frankly, I am tired, depressed and want out of this responsibility. There are transportation alternatives, which she does not want to use.
I am 75, and my husband passed away barely a year ago. I can't imagine I will ever get over his loss. I don't want to end the friendship with my friend, and I feel guilty about deserting her.
On the other hand, if I were not available, would someone else step up and pick up the slack?
